Transfer Students
We know: You've been through this before. You know the drill. You have a different set of questions and concerns. Not to worry, we will get you the info you need, in addition to showing you what campus life is like at George Fox University.
Parents and Guests
Parents and guests, we encourage you to attend with your son or daughter to help them process their experience here and ask questions they may not consider. We value your input (so do your kids believe it or not). Join us for a continental breakfast to address your questions specifically, meet with and hear from George Fox faculty, admission counselors, financial aid counselors, coaches, current students and/or any of the options on the student schedule. Since campus housing is limited to students, here are some suggestions on Nearby Lodging.
Sleepover
High school juniors, seniors, or college transfers are invited to stay overnight with our current students, who will answer your questions and help you experience a bit of campus residence life. Your host will meet you at check-in when you arrive Thursday. You will need to bring a sleeping bag, pillow, towel and toiletries. Try to get a little sleep, OK?
Transportation
Need a ride? We can pick you up at the Portland airport, train station, or bus depot. Call 800-765-4369 x2240 with your itinerary at least a week before Bruin Preview. BP ends at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, and the airport is about an hour away, so plan accordingly.
We are unable to accommodate requests for transportation from the airport, train station or bust station after April 3
