Introduction

This handbook addresses academic policies and procedures at George Fox University. It should be noted that this handbook does not encompass all aspects and functions of this educational community, nor does it serve as a legal document or contract. Rather, it offers guidance that complements the current graduate and undergraduate catalogs, the Student Handbook, and the Employee Handbook.

Proposals for revising the handbook can be initiated at any time by any unit of the faculty, administration, or Board of Trustees and will be reviewed in the annual update of the Handbook that will occur each June. Part Three: Conditions and Benefits of Faculty Service reflects the terms of faculty service and must receive approval from the Board of Trustees. Other revisions in the handbook are adopted through documented actions of the Vice President's Operations Team, the Academic Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees, or the Board of Trustees. These actions follow consultations with the units of the university most affected by the changes.
