Campus Network

Technology is an important tool for those who work and learn at George Fox, and the network helps to deliver many of these tools. When it works at its best the network is our invisible and trustworthy assistant.

Network connections are provided in every office and residence room on our campuses. There are also network connections (wired and/or wireless) in most of our classrooms and at public access points in many of our buildings. Behind these connections is a 100 megabit (or faster) ethernet network and, on the Newberg campus, an all-fiber network between our buildings.

The Newberg and Portland campuses are serviced through fiber Internet connection. The Portland Center is connected to the Newberg campus with a 100 Megabit encrypted point-to-point tunnel. This Internet connection is filtered (to block pornography) and "shaped" (to give higher priority to e-mail and web, for example).

The Boise, Redmond, and Salem campuses contract for their Internet connections. The information offered below does not usually apply to these campuses.

For more complete information on how to connect, what to expect, and how to handle problems as they occur chose one of the links from this list.

If you have concerns about network connection or performance you should first check our Emergency Communication Website which is separate from the GFU network. GFU Emergency Communication Website
