The intent of this list is to bring peace or action! The Office of Student Accounts, unfortunately, will not be able to respond to emails asking for refund specifics without delaying all refunds. Watch your George Fox email for updates!

Assuming you have a credit balance, here are four common refunds delays:

1. You have not signed up for MyGFU direct deposit or your bank info is incorrect
2. You have a financial aid credit but also an unpaid balance due (pay your account through MyGFU today; see No. 3 below and complete a T4 Permission Form)
3. There is a personal payment on your account. We do not refund personal payments unless you request it. In addition, recent payments need up to two weeks to clear your bank. To refund only the financial aid portion takes special handling. (You can help by emailing jgetsing@georgefox.edu if you are expecting a refund and a personal payment is involved.)
4. Due to recent or pending activity, your credit balance appears to be in flux. (Get fully registered and squared away now, and if you are reducing a loan, please email jgetsing@georgefox.edu with the specifics).

As of July 1, 2018, you’ll see a new item on your paystub for Oregon’s statewide transit tax. The tax is one-tenth of one percent (.001) — or $1 per $1,000. Your employer will be automatically withholding the tax – just like the personal income tax – so you don’t have to do or change anything. Unlike the personal income tax, there’s no withholding exemption for this tax.

Revenue from the statewide transit tax will go to expanding public transportation throughout Oregon. For more information on how the tax revenues will be used, check out “HB 2017 Funding Package” under “Projects & News” on the Oregon Department of Transportation’s website.

To learn more about the tax itself, visit the Department of Revenue online at oregon.gov/dor.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact Kasondra Silva at ksilva@georgefox.edu.

If you travel through Portland regularly to get to work at the Newberg campus or Portland Center, or take classes at either campus, you need to be aware of major construction closures occurring during July and August on the I-5 and I-84 interchanges by the Moda Center.

Please go to this website for all of the specifics, and plan now for alternate routes, as back-ups are expected to be lengthy during ramp and lane closures.

Tripcheck.com is another good source, as it has current webcams all over the state as well as a listing of potential closures or delays on roads you might be traveling for summer vacations.

With high temperatures being forecast for next week, here are a few safety tips to stay cool …

• Purchase a fan now before local store supplies run out.
• Purchase and cut wooden dowels two to four inches shorter than your window track length to safely keep windows open for ventilation at night, and to prevent unwanted entry.
• Keep curtains closed and windows shut during the daytime and only open up when temperatures have dropped to 70 degrees or below. Use a box window fan to blow in cooler air right before going to sleep.
• Hydrate!
• Don’t forget the sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat.
• Do not prop open entry doors in a dorm or apartment, as you put the entire residence at risk of unwanted entry.
• If working outdoors, freeze several damp towels and bring them to your work site in a cooler and place periodically around your neck to cool down your body.
• Seek medical treatment immediately if signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke are present. (Don’t know what they are? Take the First Aid/AED/CPR classes next Monday and Tuesday to learn how to recognize and treat these serious conditions. Sign-ups are on the Campus Public Safety website).

– Campus Public Safety

Campus Public Safety (formerly Security Services) desires that there be at least one or more staff or students trained in First Aid/CPR/AED in each building, and summer is a great time to take this training!

This class will be offered on the Newberg campus on Monday and Tuesday, June 18-19, from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. each day in the Hoover Academic Building. Sign-ups can be done here, more information is available and payment can be made on the Campus Public Safety website, and you can pick up your book before class in the Campus Public Safety office after registering and paying.

Class is limited to just eight people, so sign up soon! Non-George Fox people can also register, so pass the word along if you know of people who are interested or need to re-certify.

Contact Mark Stone (mstone@georgefox.edu) with any questions.
