Due to the new parking permit process, it will now take one to two weeks to receive your parking permit. In order to prevent from being ticketed you will need to PRINT a temporary parking permit.

Once you register your vehicle, you will receive two emails from parking@georgefox.edu. In the second email you will receive a link that will take you to a page where you can print a temporary parking permit. Please print this temporary parking permit and put it on the dashboard of your car.

This permit, when placed on your dashboard, will prevent you from being ticketed until your permanent permit arrives in the mail.

Please note: Students living on campus should put their campus address and PO box number on the “Mailing Address” line as it is now too late to have your permit sent to your home. If you are a commuter, you can put your home address in that spot.

Questions? Call Ed Gierok or Nadine Kincaid at 503-554-2090. You can also email us at egierok@georgefox.edu or nkincaid@georgefox.edu.

Please get your vehicle registration done immediately. Thank you for your cooperation.

FoxTALE will be unavailable on Friday, Aug. 21, from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. (Pacific Time) for scheduled maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Thank you to the 290 of you who have already completed the vehicle registration process! This is just a reminder that all white staff hang tags and orange adjunct permits (with an expiration date of Dec. 31, 2015 or earlier) are now null and void. We have a new vehicle registration database and need everybody to please go on MyGFU and register as soon as possible.

The adjunct hang tags will be valid until Dec. 31, 2016 for this initial go-round and yearly thereafter, and the staff hang tags don’t expire. Please remember to put your GFU PO box number on the second line of the “mailing address,” as no permits will be mailed; they will all be sent to your campus PO box.

Every staff/faculty/adjunct are allotted one gratis permit that can be switched between vehicles. Or, if you’d prefer to not switch it between vehicles, then additional hang tags can be purchased for $5 cash each in the security office. If you desire to purchase additional hang tags, please go on MyGFU to the vehicle registration link underneath “GFU Resources” and register your main car. Then bring the DMV registration card with you to the security office and we will register the additional vehicles/permits to you in the office, and you can pay there.

If you want to switch permits between cars, then please register ALL of your vehicles at the same time. Many hints and tips have been published in the Daily Bruin during the past three weeks for your reference. Portland employees don’t need to register unless they are frequently on the Newberg campus.

Questions? Stuck on one part or another? We are ready to help! Either call Nadine or Ed during office hours at 503-554-2090, or e-mail Nadine Kincaid at nkincaid@georgefox.edu.

Returning students, faculty, staff and summer student employees: If you lost anything from the last few weeks of April until now, please check the lost and found in the security office. All items not reunited with their original owners will be donated to charitable causes at end of day Friday, Sept 4.

If we have contacted you previously about items in the lost and found, please come and get them as soon as you return to campus.

Thanks!

George Fox University’s football program is back for its second year following its inaugural season on the gridiron. In 2014 the Bruins played in front of a Northwest Conference-leading crowd of more than 3,000 fans per game, had a player named to the NCAA Division III national team of the week, and secured their first victory as a new program against Lewis & Clark College.

In the 2015 season, all George Fox employees are entitled to free entry into the uncovered general admission bleachers at home football games when they show their George Fox ID at the gate. Children under 10 are also admitted for free. If you need additional tickets, you can purchase them at the gate or in advance here.

Employees who are interested in purchasing reserved season tickets in the covered grandstands can do so here.

If you have any questions, please call Sarah Reid at x2105 or send her an email at sreid@georgefox.edu.
