Kudos to the staff, faculty and adjuncts who have already registered their vehicles on the new database located on MyGFU! However, security is still seeing the white hang tags and adjunct hang tags on staff cars that expire this Christmas. Please take five minutes to hop onto MyGFU and click on the Vehicle Registration link underneath “GFU Resources.” You will need your insurance or vehicle registration card in front of you when you register.

If you want to purchase additional permits for $5 cash each for additional vehicles, please bring your money and vehicle information to the security office and we will register those additional cars on site. If you want to just switch your one gratis hang tag between your vehicles, then please register them one right after the other.

For the mailing address portion, please put “414 N. Meridian St. Newberg, OR 97132” with your campus PO box number on the second line. All permits will be delivered to you via campus mail; they will not be mailed to a home address. Portland employees need register only if they do regular business on the Newberg campus.
