Apartments and Houses
The university owns apartments and houses that are reserved for upper-division students. Any open spaces in these living areas are generally filled with transfer students. Houses vary by semester.
Residence Life
Residence life at George Fox University is an integral part of the student's educational experience. The residence communities provide unique and meaningful experiences in human relations, along with various opportunities to discover your unique potential, self-worth, and philosophy of life. The various physical environments of the residence halls, suites, apartments, and houses provide challenging opportunities for individual growth and development while maintaining a common bond of university residency.
Housing Requirements
All full-time (12 hours or more per semester) undergraduate students are required to live in university housing unless they fit the criteria to live off campus, have completed the off-campus housing form, and have been approved by the housing department. Students who will be granted off-campus residency fall into two main categories: commuters and seniors. Commuters are students who are commuting from their parents' home, married students living off campus, undergraduate students 23 years old or older as of Sept. 1 of the current year, and fifth-year seniors. Seniors are students with 93 or more college/university credits, or students who will be in their fourth year since graduating from high school and have completed three full-time years of college.
The university is committed to housing students in their first three years of traditional undergraduate education. Therefore, students who are 23 years or older, fifth-year seniors, or married students generally do not live on campus and must apply to live off campus. Students who are 23 years or older and students who are fifth-year seniors can petition the director of housing for permission to live on campus.
