Passport Days will be here Thursday and Friday, Sept. 20-21, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. A passport is something you are required to have if you plan to travel internationally. A representative from the U.S.P.S. will be on site to assist you with applying for a new passport, as well as renewing your passport.
The event will take place in the lobby of Bauman Auditorium. You will need to bring a current driver’s license and an original or certified copy of your birth certificate. The cost will vary, depending on the passport option you choose. Please visit this webpage to review your options and cost. You can pay by either a check or cash; credit cards are not accepted. If you pay with cash, it must be the exact amount.
This event is open to everyone, both from the university and the public. If you have any questions, please contact Richard Silver at rsilver@georgefox.edu.

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:
- You have not signed up for MyGFU direct deposit or your bank info is incorrect
- 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)
- 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.)
- 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).
Questions? Contact Jennifer Getsinger at the above email address.

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.
