Campus Public Safety has noticed a lot of improper parking on campus in the evenings after 5 p.m. While students can properly park anywhere on campus after 5 p.m., parking in designated parking spaces is still required.

Please do not create new parking spaces or park along buildings, curbs or in loading zones. Never park in a fire zone, and do not park in disabled parking spaces without a permit. Failure to park properly in a designated parking spot may result in a citation, even after 5 p.m. and on weekends.

Questions? Contact Elrike Shaw at eshaw@georgefox.edu or call the Campus Public Safety Office at 503-554-2090.
