The Daily Bruin

Staff, including summertime student workers, are permitted to park in all campus parking lots; however, we do ask that you stay out of reserved parking spaces.

These spaces are reserved 24/7 and are to be occupied only by the department staff indicated. Additionally, handicapped spaces are to be used only by vehicles displaying a valid state handicapped permit. They are not for dropping off or visiting without a valid handicapped permit. This is an Oregon state law and is enforceable 24/7/365.

Please don’t park in the marked Visitor parking area in the Stevens parking lot. When these spaces fill up with staff vehicles, our visitors don’t know where to park. Prospective students and their families are visiting campus, and we want to help to make their experience exceptional!

In addition, we have reserved 10-minute parking spots at Mail Services that are meant for running in and grabbing your mail, or for pick-up of heavy packages. They are not for long-term parking.

Please help us by staying out of any reserved spaces. Thank you for your help!

There have been significant changes in parking areas this year, so be sure to look over your new parking map to ensure you are parking in the right place.

All students may order a permit this year.

All residents may order a resident parking permit. All commuters may order a commuter parking permit. Vehicles must be parked in the lots assigned to their permit designation.

Thank you for continuing to wear a face covering when shopping at the Bruin Community Pantry’s food bank. We would prefer that our volunteers not be required to ask each person to show proof of vaccination. Considering the small space, we want to be able to keep everyone safe, so face coverings will continue to be required to access the food bank.

Thank you for your cooperation. Contact Jere Witherspoon (jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu) if you have questions.
