Return to TopGeneral Parking and Vehicle GuidelinesParking is not allowed under any circumstance:
Each employee or student is permitted only one motor vehicle on campus at any time. Vehicles are limited to parking on streets and in designated parking lots. Canyon roads and trails are service roads for pedestrians and maintenance vehicles only. The maximum speed on campus is 15 mph. Any disabled vehicles will be towed. Only minor repairs (e.g., fixing a flat tire, jump-starting a vehicle) are permitted on campus. Return to TopDisabled Parking SpacesGeorge Fox University has a number of spaces designated for disabled parking; a valid disabled permit must be properly displayed to avoid a citation. Designated disabled parking spaces are available in the following lots:
Off-Campus Parking RegulationsDue to crowded adjacent city streets, George Fox University requests that all employees, students, and visitors park in designated George Fox University parking facilities only. This is not a city ordinance or city administrative issue, but a way for George Fox University to be a responsible member of the Newberg community and to promote a positive witness. This is called the "Good Neighbor Policy." The included map indicates areas available for student parking. Student vehicles found outside marked areas will be ticketed. The authority to ticket off-campus comes from the university's ability to establish policies governing student conduct. Failure to comply with this policy is the same as failure to obey any university rule or policy. Students receiving tickets for parking in restricted off-campus areas will be treated as any other violator of parking policies. Parking on-campus is a privilege which can be revoked. Return to TopEnforcementA vehicle in violation of policy may be issued a ticket, towed, or impounded. Security Services handles the processing of parking citations issued on campus. The following violations are subject to the listed fine or towing:
*Plus damages **Parking in violation of fire code. Marked fire emergency lanes are covered by city regulations. Return to Top Discipline And Payment Of FinesThe individual to whom the vehicle is registered is responsible for all tickets to the vehicle. Student fines will be charged automatically to the student's account. Fines can be paid in person at the Student Financial Services office located in the Stevens Center. Employee fees for lost permits ($5), need to be paid at the Security Services office. For repeated violations campus parking privileges may be denied for the balance of the semester or one year. If at the time a citation is issued, the vehicle has had three previous tickets, then the vehicle may be towed or immobilized, and campus parking privileges may be denied for the balance of the year. If a student receives three or more citations including two for non-registration, the Student Life office may be consulted concerning disciplinary sanctions. Return to TopTicket Appeal ProcessThe GFU parking policies are designed to ensure that University parking facilities are able to serve all university residential and commuter students, employees and guests; and to maintain positive relationships with private property owners living within and near University property.The University requires Security Services to enforce the parking policies by patrolling parking areas and streets, and issuing citations to those in violation of these policies. If you received a parking citation but believe that you were parked in compliance with the university parking policies, you may appeal that citation by completing the form below and returning it to Jere Witherspoon (Student Life Office - Box 6148) within 7 calendar days of the citation.
