Attention undergraduate students! George Fox offers a series of full-credit General Education courses through our summer online program. Tuition is 50 percent off, and all courses are taught by George Fox faculty in their respective fields (see this link for a simple video introduction to the online courses as a whole).

The summer online term runs for eight weeks, from June 5 to July 30. If you still want to sign up for a course, this is the time to do so! The enrollments are capped at 20, and some sections are nearly full. The term starts in less than two weeks.

See the list of options on this webpage (select “Summer 2017, Traditional Undergrad,” and choose “Subject”; only the courses marked “ONL” are for the summer online term).

Just a heads-up that, due to the currently fabulous weather, Plant Services personnel are trying to get as many parking lots restriped as possible. Slated this week are the Wood-Mar, Hoover and Stevens lots.

Timing will depend on the completion of the landscaping and clean-up in the Stevens lot, so please be prepared to park on the streets or in the Pennington lot at short notice.

Thank you in advance for your flexibility.
