The afternoon will be spent learning basic skills from members of the George Fox athletic teams and coaching staff. Invite young children to enjoy a fun-filled day on the beautiful George Fox campus.

This is just a reminder that whenever a job is being submitted to Print Services, your department’s chart of accounts number must accompany the job. Print Services is not responsible for knowing your chart of accounts number.

If a work-study student is submitting a job, please make sure they are provided the chart of accounts number. This is the full string of numbers and not just the six-digit department ID. Therefore, it should look like this, for example: 54510-10000-610100-MG130-ALL.

Thank you for your help. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Richard Silver at rsilver@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2551.

Security Services is pleased to announce that the new vehicle registration system is up and running! Here are some tips to make the registration process smoother:

1. The link to register is on MyGFU and is underneath the “University Resources” heading.
2. Have your vehicle’s registration card from the DMV with you when you register for needed information.
3. Important Change: Any vehicle or license plate changes that need to be made AFTER you have registered need to be done by security office personnel. Come into the office during business hours or email Nadine Kincaid at nkincaid@georgefox.edu.
4. Staff, faculty and adjuncts are given one gratis permit to use between vehicles. If you wish to have a permit for each vehicle, please come to the security office to register additional vehicles and to pay the $5 cash fee per permit.
5. All staff permits will be delivered via campus mail to your university PO box number, so please have that handy when you register.
6. For this initial year only, all newly assigned adjunct permits will be valid for 1.5 years, until December 2016. Thereafter they will expire on Dec. 31 of each year. Staff and full-time faculty permits do not expire.
7. Portland employees need to register only if they frequently come to the Newberg campus.

Questions? Have a situation out-of-the-box? Either e-mail Nadine at the above e-mail address, or call 503-554-2090 during business hours.

Attention Portland Center employees: University photographer Joel Bock will be at the Portland Center for a scheduled photo shoot today (Wednesday) from 12:30 to 2 p.m. He will set up out front of the south building on the west side.

If your employee photo on the university website is in need of updating, this is your chance to get it done! Not sure if you need a retake? If your existing photo is more than two years old, is poorly lit, is out of focus, and/or has a gray, brown or black background, it’s time for an update.

No appointment is necessary, and each photo subject will be done in only two to three minutes. Solid, neutral clothing colors are recommended.

Many of you have been asking when the vehicle registration will be available on MyGFU, and the answer is: end of July! The final touches and testing are being done on the new registration portal, and if all goes well it will go live around the last week of July.

We will be announcing it via The Daily Bruin and also on the security services’ Facebook page, so stay tuned! It will require a little bit more information than before, so be sure and have your vehicle registration printout from the DMV in front of you when you begin registering.

• All employees will need to put in their campus PO box numbers on the second address line, as your permits will be sent there.
• Students will need to choose a mailing address, as the permits will be mailed to whichever mailing address you indicate (home, campus PO box, off-campus housing).
• All employees and adjuncts will need to re-register their vehicles, as new, sturdier hang tags will be issued to everybody (this summer’s and previous versions are void as of August).

Instructions will be on the vehicle registration link, so stay tuned for the date it is ready to receive vehicle registrations. Portland Center employees will need to register if they are frequently on the Newberg campus.
