The Daily Bruin

Have you signed up for Summer Online? Don’t miss your chance to save money and time this summer! 

Summer Online offers you the chance to take care of credits from the comfort of your home – or wherever you’ll be this summer – for less than half the cost of regular tuition. Consider this: You could get up to three courses out of the way this summer in just two months (half the length of a typical class!).

Free up time in your fall or spring semester. Get on track to graduate early. All for half the price!

Summer Online runs from June 6 to July 31. Check out the full list of courses on class.georgefox.edu and register today on MyGeorgeFox.

Did you receive our “Be Known, Be Done, May 1” email, but need help completing the items listed (FAFSA, MyGeorgeFox To-Do List, Accepting/Declining your financial aid, etc.)? Then our financial aid “Help Me Hangout” is for you! Join us in the Murdock Library (Room 112) today (Thursday) between 9 a.m. and noon.

One of the major steps to ensuring you are ready for the fall of 2022 is making sure that all your financial aid is finalized and ready to go. Everyone’s financial aid process looks a little different, so we want to provide you with the steps specific to you. Each week we will be sending out a reminder email to let you know the steps you need to take to “be done” by May 1.

If you have any other financial aid questions, feel free to stop by. And don’t forget to come grab a free sticker!

Questions? Contact the financial aid office at finaid@georgefox.edu.
