Important physical distancing reminder

Monday, April 13th, 2020

Please make sure that you continue to carefully follow physical distancing guidelines to slow the spread of COVID. With the beautiful weather, it is tempting to relax our attention to these important matters.

If you are using the George Fox track or field or are out on the quad or elsewhere on campus, these guidelines from the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) should be carefully followed:

  • Stay home, save lives. The best way to stay healthy and prevent the spread of COVID-19 is to stay home. You must also limit things you do outside your home to what you must do. Examples of things you must do are shopping for food or picking up medicines. The governor’s order does not allow gatherings where people cannot keep six feet apart. Also, the order does not allow social events and non-essential business where people come into close contact. 
  • Maintain six feet between you and all other people.
  • Wash or sanitize your hands after contact with any surface.
  • Do not touch your face, except after washing and sanitizing your hands.
  • Avoid groups and contact with other people.

Student Accounts processing personal checks through MyGeorgeFox

Friday, April 10th, 2020

Student Accounts is now processing personal checks through my.georgefox.edu. This payment method allows for swift, secure and safe payment handling. An added benefit is that payments generate a receipt to the student that can be forwarded to whomever made payment on their account. 

To make future payments online directly, please visit our website to learn how and to authorize access for others to make payments on your behalf. You will find that once the bank account information is saved, the payment process is very quick. No fee is charged for submitting e-check payments. Thank you for helping us in this way!
