The Daily Bruin

FoxTALE will be upgraded immediately following the Christmas break on Thursday, Jan. 2, and unavailable from 6 a.m. to noon. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes.

The university will be closed Monday, Dec. 23, through Wednesday, Jan. 1. Cash or check payments received in the student accounts office by 5 p.m. on Dec. 19 will be recorded in 2019; after that, they will be held and processed on Jan. 2, 2020.

Payments online are accepted throughout all of December and are immediately transacted the day submitted in MyGeorgeFox.edu. If paying for the spring semester, we encourage you to consider waiting until January to make a payment unless your due date falls in December.

We also invite you to read IRS Publication 970 for information about educational tax benefits and related payments.

Questions? Contact Jenny Getsinger (jgetsing@georgefox.edu).

As winter break is approaching, remember to file your FAFSA at fafsa.gov. This will help the financial aid office provide you with the most accurate aid for the next school year.

Questions? Write finaid@georgefox.edu.

The finance office will be closed from Dec. 21 through Jan. 1 for Christmas break.

Deposits that need a December 2019 date must be brought to Heather in the finance office no later than 10 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 20. If it arrives later, it will go into a deposit for January 2020. 

Please look around your desk and file cabinet to see if there are any lingering items that need to go to the bank. If you are taking extra time off during the Christmas holiday, please send your deposits over before you leave.

If you have any questions about deposits, contact Heather Groenlund at ext. 2173.

The season of Advent is upon us, and the Office of Spiritual Life has partnered with faculty and students to publish the 2019 Advent Project. This daily reader is designed, written and created by people in the George Fox community and is intended to point us toward Christ as we await his birth.

Feel free to share it with friends, family and your faith community. Additionally, we will be sending a video at the beginning of each week to introduce each topic (hope, peace, joy and love). We hope it is helpful to you in some form as we celebrate this season of Advent together.

Contact Jamie Johnson (jamiej@georgefox.edu) with any questions.

Don’t forget that the Bruin Store buys back books year-round! Bring your student ID and the textbooks you no longer need, and if we can buy them, you will leave with cash in hand.

If you rented books for fall semester through the Bruin Store, the last day to check those books back in is Friday, Dec. 13. Please bring them to the Bruin Store (along with your student ID) during business hours to avoid any late, processing, or non-return fees.

Did you find the book you need but Amazon sells it for less? No worries! Just show us that the same book is being sold and shipped from Amazon, and we will be happy to match the price.
