‘Students in Distress’ folder now available online

March 1st, 2022

The Office of Student Life thought it would be helpful to provide information about what we can do at George Fox when concerns arise about a student’s behavior.

In the past, we have delivered brightly colored folders with information for staff and faculty to use as a resource should the unforeseeable take place: a student in crisis needing intervention.

In order to reduce paper, as well as make these materials accessible to you online, we have created a folder in Google Drive. Please bookmark this folder for quick reference.

If you have any questions or need assistance in the use of this information, contact Jere Witherspoon, student care specialist, at jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu.

Important details about midterm grades

February 28th, 2022

Midterm grades provide an accurate picture of your academic progress so far this semester. The last day to withdraw from a class without a graded responsibility for a class you may be struggling in is Sunday, March 20.

This means that if you withdraw from a class, your transcript will show a “W.” If you do not withdraw now and ultimately do not pass a course, your GPA will suffer.

If your professor has not yet given you a midterm grade, please contact them right away to find out where you stand in that course. Information regarding withdrawing from a class can be found here.

Students who received a D or an F on their midterms should contact their CAP coach as soon as possible to discuss the consequences of withdrawing from a class. If a student withdraws from a class, they should also contact their CAP coach to discuss their class schedule for future semesters. Follow this link to contact CAP coaches.

Other resources for students are easily accessible on campus:

If you need help or have any questions, or need assistance, please contact studentlife@georgefox.edu.
