We are a group of students in the 480 Marketing Management and Strategy class. We are performing marketing research on students to find out if you would be interested in graphic shirts with George Fox University-related puns, memes, and phrases on them.

Here is a two-minute survey that is simple and easy to fill out. We would greatly appreciate it if you could take a short amount of time to complete it. We value your input and could potentially use your ideas for our merchandise!

Any views or opinions presented in these surveys are solely those of the students and do not represent those of George Fox University.

Students need to pay a $150 non-refundable housing selection fee to participate in housing selection for the 2019-20 academic year. The application fee is held and returned to each student upon graduation. Please note that this is different than the enrollment deposit paid upon acceptance.

The housing application fee can be paid through CashNet or in person at Student Financial Services on the first floor of Stevens Center before March 8.

Before you pay you should be aware of the following:

1. Your student account must be paid in full. If on a payment plan, your February payment (or March payment if after March 1) must be received and any amount not covered by your payment plan must be paid.
2. The housing selection fee is a one-time fee.  Once you’ve paid the selection fee, you no longer need to pay it again for subsequent years in housing.
3. A payment received in any other way won’t be processed as a housing selection fee, but instead will overpay the account or be applied toward the next monthly payment. SFS routinely refunds over-payments, so if you get a refund check you are not expecting please stop by to confirm the status of your selection fee.

For additional details about the housing selection process or the housing selection fee, please visit the Housing and Residence Life website or email housing@georgefox.edu with questions.
