Academic Support

We want students to be known academically, and connecting them to support and academic tools is a valuable part of their journey. All students learn and process information in different ways, and knowing how to access resources that align with their needs can make a significant difference in their success. The Academic Resource Center (ARC) is a great first stop for students looking to grow in their academic skills. Tutors, time management coaching, and workshops to support excellence in learning are all part of this dynamic office. Encouraging your student to engage with both the online learning tools and in-person assistance can build academic confidence and navigate the next level of learning. 

Disability and Accessibility Services (DAS) is another essential support at George Fox, helping students navigate differences as they grow in independence, resilience, and self-advocacy. DAS works specifically with students who have diagnosed physical, psychological, medical, or learning disabilities. The office facilitates all accommodations for academics, housing, meals, and more by supporting students through individualized planning, helping them understand their strengths and advocate for what they need to thrive.

Students are encouraged to reach out early—ideally before classes begin or as soon as a need arises—to start the accommodation process and ensure that supports are in place.
