Courtesy warning tickets have been issued to tell you to register or that you are incorrectly parked, and real tickets will now be issued on Monday. If you haven’t yet registered, you need to do that immediately and print out the temporary permit from the link that will be emailed to you, then place it on your dashboard until your permit arrives to the mailing address you indicated.
If you registered and never received a confirmation email or link for a temporary permit, please come to the security office so we can check to see if your registration went through and is in process. A copy of the parking brochure will arrive with your actual permit, but please check this link to make sure you are parking where your permit allows.
If you have a new car that doesn’t have its new plates yet, register the temporary trip permit number in the license plate field, and when your new plates arrive, email the license plate number to Nadine Kincaid at nkincaid@georgefox.edu and she can override the database and input them on your registration.
Questions about registration or where to park? Call 503-554-2090 during office hours or email Nadine and we’d be glad to answer your questions!
