Campus Public Safety has noticed a lot of bikes scattered across campus recently. Please remember to lock your bike to a bike rack with a heavy-duty lock and chain. Leaving bikes in random places creates a temptation for thieves to steal them.

At the end of the spring semester, a university-wide bicycle cleanup will be done. Bicycles that are illegally parked, unregistered or inoperable will be impounded, as bicycle racks will need to be cleared to do routine maintenance to the bicycle racks and surrounding areas.

Students using their bikes during the summer are encouraged to move their bikes inside to store them in their summer housing.

Bicycles not picked up from the impound lot within 60 days will be forwarded to the local charities at the discretion of the Campus Public Safety office. Junk bicycles will be recycled.

Questions? Call Campus Public Safety at 503-554-2090 or email Elrike Shaw (eshaw@georgefox.edu).

Married undergraduate and graduate students that meet the eligibility requirements for the Hadlock Student Center can purchase a membership for their spouse at the beginning of each academic term (fall, spring and summer) for $75.

A marriage license or other official document must be provided at the time of purchase. This policy does not apply to engaged students. Memberships are not usually prorated if purchased later in the academic term. For the month of April, memberships are prorated to $20 for the month.

Starting Saturday, May 1, the summer membership would apply. A spouse membership allows for participation in most programs and services, including intramural sports, group fitness classes, outdoor equipment rental center, climbing wall programs and services, fitness facilities, outdoor recreation trips and activities, and other workshops.

In order to set up a time to purchase a membership, please email AJ Heil (aheil@georgefox.edu).

Please note: Campus Public Safety normally doesn’t allow vehicles to remain on campus during the summer if the owner isn’t currently taking classes.

Exceptions to this policy are as follows:

• Student is on Juniors Abroad or winter/summer serve trip
• Student lives too far away to easily drive home
• International students who purchase vehicles here and return home for breaks
• Students on official George Fox activities (sports activities/academic trips, etc.)

If a student falls within those categories, they may fill out the Vehicles Left on Campus Policy Form, agreeing to the requirements. This form must be completed before you leave campus, and you must leave a key with Campus Public Safety before leaving your vehicle on campus. 

Any vehicle left on campus without the key being left with security is subject to tow at your expense due to plant services/construction activity all around campus during the summer.

For all other students, it is recommended to leave your car off campus with a friend who can drive it and watch it, as George Fox is not responsible for any theft or damage to your vehicle while left unattended on campus.

Do not abandon your car on city streets, as the city of Newberg will tow it as an “abandoned vehicle” after 72 hours.

Questions? Call Campus Public Safety at 503-554-2090 or email Elrike Shaw (eshaw@georgefox.edu).

Today and tomorrow, April 6-7, are the dates for the university’s evaluation visit from the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.

Students: Wednesday, April 7, 11 a.m., at this Zoom link or by phone at 253-215-8782, Meeting ID: 82819368401 (this meeting has a waiting room enabled).
