The Daily Bruin

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.

Did you know that the Campus Public Safety office is the home of the Lost and Found? If you have found something, please bring it promptly to our office so it has a better chance of being reunited with its owner. Please come to our office if you have lost something and we will check for you, and if we don’t have it we will note it on a master list.

However, due to the daily arrival of lost items and our very limited storage space, we will only be able to keep items for a maximum of two weeks before donating them to charitable causes, so please don’t delay if you have lost something!

Questions? Contact Nadine Kincaid at nkincaid@georgefox.edu.
