If you have concerns about a student in the traditional undergraduate program, log into Fox360 atFox360.georgefox.edu to submit an “alert†for the student. Submit alerts for concerns in the following areas:
Behavioral – Concerning or disruptive behaviors in or outside of class
Emotional – Mental health concerns; unusual emotional expression
Physical – Medical concerns; extreme changes in grooming, personal care
Social – Personal, social, or family concerns that are affecting well-being and performance
This Fox360 Quick Guide provides a visual overview of the Fox360 system; more details about using Fox360 are available in this Google Doc.

You are welcome to contact Jere Witherspoon (jwithers@georgefox.edu) or Rick Muthiah to inquire about the status of a student.

Students are encouraged to join a Life Group this semester! Sign up here.
Life Groups are led by staff, professors, local pastors and church leaders, and seniors and provide a space for students to gather for weekly prayer, Bible study and fellowship.
Groups typically meet for an hour to 90 minutes. Most groups will begin the week of Feb. 22 and end the week of April 9. Your Life Group leader will contact you with additional details by the Friday prior to the start of your group.
