Winter Welcome 2024
Welcome, new students! We’re so glad you’ve chosen George Fox University.
Returning students, we are excited to welcome you back to your home away from home!
Whether you’re new or returning, we want to give you time to get acclimated and connected before the start of the spring semester on Monday, Jan. 8.
Winter Welcome at George Fox is Jan. 5-7.
New Residential Students
If you’re a new residential student, here are a few things to note about the check-in process:
- Check-in is from 1 to 3 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 5, in the Stevens Center lobby.
- Upon arriving on campus on Jan. 5, you can check in at the Stevens Center lobby, where campus partners will greet you, and then you will be able to move into your housing location.
- Please remember your ID card; you will need it for check-in. If you did not receive your ID card in the mail, you will be able to pick it up from IT during check-in.
Returning Residential Students
Welcome back! The residence halls will reopen beginning at noon on Friday, Jan. 5. Meal plans begin with dinner that evening.
Commuters
We invite you to join us for all the Winter Welcome festivities we have planned. If you are a new commuter, please feel free to join us at 5 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 5, for a complimentary dinner with your family and other spring students. You will receive a welcome package and enjoy a time of connecting with peers, faculty and staff.
Join us for a fun-filled weekend of events as you prepare for the spring semester!
