Great question! The most common reason is it hasn't been reported in MyGeorgeFox. Once it has been reported, your Payment Estimator can be updated.
To defer a portion of your balance due to a delayed external scholarship, fill out the Scholarship Deferral Request Form.
George Fox requires its full-time students be covered by medical insurance. To opt out, complete the Health Insurance Form/Waiver in your MyGeorgeFox Tasks tile. If you opt out, please be prepared to submit your current health insurance policy information and allow 48 hours for charges to be adjusted.
We ask for a guarantor because we want to know who is standing with you in this financial obligation. This is common with most financial agreements, and it increases your options for payment.
