Residence life at George Fox University is an integral part of your education and your overall university experience. The residential community provides unique and meaningful experiences in relationships, along with various opportunities to discover your potential, selfworth, and philosophy of life. The diversity of the residence halls, suites, apartments, and houses provides challenging opportunities for individual growth and development while maintaining a common bond of university residency.
Our focus is threefold:
1. We are committed to providing a home that is physically safe for you. In cooperation with campus security, plant services and local services such as the fire, police and emergency crews, we strive to provide a place of residence which is a physical have for you.
2. Beyond physical safety, we want to create a place of security. Our definition of security is more linked to the development of solid and deep relationships; a sense of belonging; being part of the community; making GFU a place of refuge; a place of intimacy with God, peers, faculty and staff.
3. Once safety and security are established, we have observed that significance is vastly important. Residence Life, and the campus community in general, desire to help students understand their role in campus life and in our society and world. Having a purpose and significance is critical for a person's education and well-being. Our hope is that you will be able to embrace a myriad of roles in a safe and secure environment. This view is only a gap in the curtain of what Residence Life and Housing try to do in developing a sense of community on campus.

Living Learning Communities provide opportunities for students to explore more deeply common themes, interests, passions, and disciplines.These can be as varied as shared interest in languages, ministry, fine arts, or science.The communities enable students to explore and delve into these areas while living, eating, and studying together. Each of the groups is enabled through the assistance of faculty and staff advisors who work closely with the living community.

Residence Life and Housing Information Policies and Procedures
Alcohol and Drugs George Fox University chooses to be a drug- and alcohol-free institution and is committed to upholding the federal Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act. Therefore, the advertisement of alcoholic beverages or illicit drugs on posters, stickers, clothing, or any other paraphernalia promoting such products is prohibited. (see Substance Use and Abuse)
Automobiles and Parking
All vehicles brought to campus, whether owned by employees, students, or the university, must be registeredwith Security Services. Students must register within two weeks of arriving on campus. Students who fail to register their vehicle on their Bruindata account by the add/drop date will be issued and charged for a permit. Vehicles that do not comply with proper registration will be cited.
Vehicle Registration Process
Registration is available online through Bruindata. Parking permits will be delivered through campus mail unless other arrangements are made.
All student permits should be affixed to the lower-left side of the front windshield so that it is visible from the outside. Vehicles displaying permits in any other way are considered to be unregistered and will be ticketed as such.
Parking permits cost $50 for the entire year, or $30 per semester, and must be purchased by every student driving to campus, whether parking in a university lot or curbside.The student is responsible for his or her vehicle at all times. The university has no area for off-road all-terrain vehicles, and they are not permitted on campus.
Due to a shortage of parking spaces, resident students are asked not to drive to classes or meals.
George Fox University Security Services' primary concern is the safety and well-being of campus facility users. The following policy outlines campus parking and traffic regulations in an attempt to familiarize and explain safety protocols to the George Fox University community. Adjustments to regulations may occur and will be publicized; it is the duty of the vehicle owners to be aware of such changes.
Every vehicle on campus grounds is subject to these regulations and will be cited with a fine if found in violation. Parking violations occur against a vehicle and not a particular driver; the registered owner is responsible for all infractions cited against their vehicle. Citations are resolved by payment unless grounds for appeal exist. To appeal a citation, complete the Parking Appeals form.
Appeals must be submitted to the Student Life Office within seven business days of the citation; once the appeal period has expired, the option becomes forfeit, and a non-refundable charge is charged to the vehicle owner's financial services account.
A yellow curb in Oregon is a no parking at-any-time zone.
All students are expected to follow certain vehicle-operating regulations. This includes obeying posted signs and parking regulations. Campus tickets may be given if violations of these regulations occur. Copies of the campus parking policy are available in Security Services.
No motorized vehicles are permitted on sidewalks or within buildings, except for authorized Plant Services vehicles.
Baby Sitting and Child Care
Because of safety concerns and insurance limitations, facilitating on campus childcare is not permitted.
Breaks, Holidays and Residence Hall Closures All residence halls and suites close at 12 p.m. on the day after the last day in the semester and reopen at 1 p.m. on the Sunday before the first day in the new semester.
The residence halls also close for spring break at noon on the day after the end of the week before spring break and open at 1:00 pm the day before classes resume. There is no food service during these school breaks.
All apartments and houses remain open and accessible to their residents during these school breaks.
Bicycles
It is suggested that bicycles be locked up at the bike racks. If bicycles are stored in rooms, they must be carried from outside to the room. Edwards, Macy, Sutton, Pennington, University, Hobson, and Carey halls have covered bicycle racks. Repair shops are close to campus.

PLEASE NOTE: All changes to meal plans must be made by the 2nd week of each semester. Students are responsible to confirm their meal plan charges on their Bruindata account.
