2. Request Official Electronic Transcripts

   Request an official transcript from every regionally accredited college or university where you completed even a single course.

   Electronic transcripts are preferred for speed and accuracy. They must be sent directly from the institution to admissions@georgefox.edu. If an electronic option is not available, unopened official transcripts can be sent via mail to:

   Office of Admissions
   George Fox University
   414 N Meridian Street #6089
   Newberg, OR 97132

3. Submit Recommendations

   Submit one academic and one professional recommendation. An academic recommender is a professor that had you in class. A professional recommender is anyone who has been in a supervisory role over you and not a personal friend, co-worker, or family member. 

   If you have been out of school for three years or more, you can choose to submit a second professional recommendation instead of the academic recommendation.

   It is important to send the correct form to the corresponding recommender type (academic versus professional). Applicants will submit recommenders' email addresses through the online application. Recommenders will receive a link to the online form that will attach itself directly to the application.
