Students arriving early for fall sports, RA training, graduate orientation programs, Welcome Weekend, or staff training, here are some helpful hints regarding the new process for vehicle registration:

1. Remember to type in your campus post office box number or local address as the ‘mailing’ address when you register your vehicle so that it arrives to your campus address, rather than your home address.

2. Your permit will be written up as a package at Mail Services and you will be required to sign for it.

3. The link to register is now located in “GFU RESOURCES” at the bottom of the page in MYGFU.

4. You will need to sign in using your 7 digit GFU student ID. This ID is between the dashes on your ID card.

5. You will need your DMV registration card when you register your vehicle as you will need information found on your DMV registration in order to register your car at GFU.

6. Parking permits must be affixed to the exterior of your vehicle and must be clearly visible from the rear of the vehicle. Please do not place the new permit on any existing permit as it will affect it’s ability to stay adhered to the vehicle window.

Please allow 1-2 weeks after registering for your permit to be delivered to the address you indicated.

Questions? Have an unusual vehicle situation? Please contact Nadine Kincaid at 503-554-2090 or e-mail nkincaid@georgefox.edu.

COMMUTERS:
If you are registering more than one vehicle, please be sure to have the registration information for BOTH vehicles when you register. Both permits will be processed at the same time and sent in two different envelopes.

We’ve had a great response thus far in the first week of vehicle registration on our new database! A few questions have come up more than once, so here are a few more tips and hints on completing the process for staff, faculty and students:

1. Staff, faculty and adjuncts need to put the George Fox address of “414 N. Meridian St. Newberg, OR 97132” in the “Mailing Address” field, and on the second line put your campus PO box. Permits will be sent to your department box via campus mail. They will not be mailed to your home address.
2. Students: You will not be able to access the vehicle registration database until your housing designation is complete. If you have been approved to commute, please make sure all of your paperwork has been completed and turned into housing. If you have been assigned campus housing, please accept and confirm that assignment before attempting to register.
3. Staff and faculty: If you have purchased additional permits in the past, and wish to have one permit per vehicle, you will need to register the primary vehicle on the database for your gratis permit, and then bring in the pertinent information to the security office along with $5 cash for each additional permit you desire. Security personnel will then register your additional vehicle(s), take your $5 cash per permit, and hand you your permit(s) on the spot. We want to serve you as quickly as possible, so please call (ext. 2090) or e-mail security to make sure that Ed or Nadine are present in the office before coming.
4. Students living off campus roughly within two blocks of campus who qualify for a gratis neighborhood permit will need to bring proof of residence (checkbook, lease agreement with your name on it, bill addressed to you at that address, etc.) to the security office along with your DMV registration card. Your car will be registered on the spot by security personnel and a neighborhood permit issued. Please do not register online, as you will be charged for a commuter permit since you will be coded as living off campus in the database. Please do this as soon as possible to avoid a long wait once school starts.
5. Don’t know your seven-digit ID number that is used to register? For students, log on to MyGFU, select “Self Service,” then “Student Center,” then “Demographic Data” and voila! Your seven-digit ID number will be displayed there. For employees, log on to “MyGFU,” select “Self Service,” then “Campus Personal Information” and finally “Demographic Information” to access your number.
6. Students, the “not bringing a car to campus” option no longer exists on this database. It is solely for those who indeed have a car, will be driving it to campus, and need to register it for a parking permit.

We love to answer your questions and to find working solutions, so please feel free to email Nadine Kincaid or call 503-554-2090 if you get stuck in the registration process, or have an out-of-the-box situation.
