Housing Questions

性视界传媒 requires all students to live on campus for a minimum of two years. Exceptions to the residency requirement are granted for students over the age of 20, who are married, have junior status, or who are commuting from home. Please refer to the Off-Campus Information page for more information in this area.

If a student needs to request a housing accommodation for medical or disability reasons they should complete a Housing Accommodation Request. Requests should be submitted to Learning Support Services by March 6 for current students or by May 1 for new students.

Current Students should have their housing assignment and roommate information finalized sometime in early April once the housing selection process has concluded. In order to participate in this process, students need to complete their housing form. Please refer to the Housing Selection page for more information.

New students should receive their housing assignment sometime in mid- to late June if they have a housing form and enrollment deposit submitted by May 1. After May 1, housing assignments will be made on a rolling basis as space is available. Please refer to the New Student page for additional details.

To be considered for on-campus housing, new students need to submit a $300 enrollment deposit to the admissions office by May 1. Priority for housing placements is based on the date a student pays his or her enrollment deposit.

性视界传媒 only has a small number of single rooms available for students. Generally, these are reserved for individuals who have requested a housing accommodation. If you would like to be considered for a single room, you may complete a Housing Accommodation Request, or request to be on the Single Room Waitlist on your Housing and Meal Plan Intent form if you do not have an accommodation.

Current students are allowed to identify specific roommates through the housing selection process, or opt to have Universiy Housing assign them a roommate.

New students can opt to live with someone they know, but are encouraged to consider living with someone new. Residence life believes that building relationships with new people adds to the depth of community and contributes to a student’s overall experience. Incoming students may request another student, or search for another student during the Roommate Search process in March.

If a preferred roommate has not been admitted prior to the housing assignment being made, the university may not be able to accommodate the request.

New students can make changes to the housing form through at any time. After May 1 students will need to contact the student life office or email housing@georgefox.edu to make changes since the housing staff will have started the process of pairing students with roommates and placing them in housing

Each semester there are open room change periods when students can explore the option of moving to another living area. Students who desire to change rooms should pick up a Room Change Request form from the student life office. This form outlines the room change process and the steps students need to take. This form must be completed and approved before changing rooms.

At this point in time, 性视界传媒 does not offer housing for students in any of these categories. Please email housing@georgefox.edu if you have a specific situation you would like to ask about.

University housing is in use year-round, so it is not possible for individuals to see specific rooms. However, the admissions office offers guided tours during the academic year and through the summer. If you’d like to schedule a tour, please contact the admissions office or your admissions counselor.

Students may have appliances, such as mini-refrigerators, in their rooms. However, students are not allowed to cook in their rooms using an open flame (e.g., camp stoves, Bunsen burners) or appliances that contain an open coil (e.g., stove burners). Coffee makers or hot pots with insulated carafes are allowed if they do not have a warming plate. Appliances such as microwaves, toasters, and coffee makers (with warming plates) can be used in the community kitchens, and should not be located in student's rooms.

It is recommended that students bring extra-long twin size sheets (Twin XL).

Because of associated safety risks, students are not permitted to loft beds in on-campus housing. This includes the use of both manufactured and hand-built lofting aids.

Many beds in university housing can be bunked through the use of special hardware. Please contact your resident assistant if you would like to have your bed bunked so they can help with this process.

Laundry facilities are available for all students living on campus. New and returning students will receive new laundry cards with a set value at the beginning of each academic year. In most cases, the value of the card will allow students to do laundry through the year.

Students who need to purchase a new laundry card or add value to an existing card may do so at the add-value station located in the Klages Center. This is located opposite the Makers Market at the top of the stairs to the Foxhole.

Animals in university housing pose serious health, safety and maintenance risks. In addition, many students have allergic reactions to various animals. Therefore, the only pets allowed are harmless fish. All other pets are not allowed in campus housing.

All of student housing has complete wireless coverage. Please refer to IT’s WiFi page for details about how to connect to the wireless network.
