Mail and Print Services’ fall housekeeping items

August 30th, 2015

As we gear up for the start of school, here are just a few reminders to keep in mind:

  • Remember that when submitting any print jobs to Print Services, a chart of accounts number must accompany the job. If a student worker is placing the order, please make sure that student has all of the proper information when the job is being submitted. In addition, when you are sending out mail and packages that are being charged to the department, please make sure that your chart of accounts number is provided.
  • Effective July 1, the beginning of this fiscal year, Print Services changed the way departments order paper. When ordering 20# white paper, either by the case or by the ream, departments will no longer be required to include a chart of accounts number when ordering. This is due to the fact that 20# bond white is part of the copy fleet program. Therefore, as long as you are ordering 20# bond white for your copier machine (Kyoceras and Ricohs), no chart of accounts number is needed. However, if you are ordering specialty paper, which is anything other than 20# bond white, your department chart of accounts number will be required, even if the paper will be going through the copy machine, as it is not part of the copier fleet program.
  • Mail Services is no longer accepting “IOU’s.” When sending personal packages, shipping must be paid by either cash or check.
  • Please note that our campus courier only delivers between the Newberg campus and Portland Center on Mondays and Thursdays only. If you have any items that need to go to Portland, please have the items to Mail Services by 10:30 a.m.
  • Remember, student workers must have the department lanyard when picking up mail and packages. Mail Services will not release packages without the lanyard. If you do not have a current lanyard for the 2015-16 academic year, please contact Richard Silver to get one at 503-554-2551 or rsilver@georgefox.edu.

Housing Wired Internet Ports Deactivated

August 26th, 2015

This summer we upgraded the network in the dorms and apartments to bring faster internet speeds. After monitoring the wired port usage for the last two years we found that only a hand full were in use for each dorm or apartment complex. With this in mind and a desire to upgrade as much of the housing network as possible we disconnected all the ports except for wireless. We reserved a small quantity of wired ports on the network switches for each building and can make them available on a requested basis.

Please contact the service desk at 503-554-2569 or by email at servicedesk@georgefox.edu to let us know the building, room and data port number you would like activated.

They usually have a D with a number following. We will try to get your port activated as soon as possible.
