As we ramp up to registration for the 2016-17 academic year, we’re implementing some improvements to our popular class information webpage, class.georgefox.edu.

On Monday, Feb. 15, you’ll see these changes go live!

Basic navigation for semester, student population and class subject are the same, but we’ve added drill-down functionality that includes class start and end dates as well as meeting dates, times and locations, along with access to some basic tuition refund calculations.

Advisors and students, we recommend you familiarize yourself with the new layout and functions prior to your advising appointments in March.
