Academic Handbook
The George Fox Academic Handbook is meant to be a tool for successful experiences at George Fox University.
Portions of this handbook apply only to traditional undergraduate students enrolled in programs of study offered
on the Newberg campus
The current edition supercedes and replaces all previous editions and versions. While every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this handbook, in no sense is it to be considered a binding contract, and it may be changed by action of appropriate bodies within the university. Generally, changes to the Academic Handbook are made public and available upon their implementation.
