Veterans and Military Families

Required: Official high school transcripts

Students should provide an official transcript. Contact your high school or college office to request for transcripts to be sent to us. The document must be mailed in a closed envelope with an unbroken seal or sent electronically directly from the institution to George Fox using one of the following services:

• SCOIR (preferred)
• Slate.org (preferred)
• Parchment (Docufide) (preferred)
• eSCRIP-SAFE

Although using one of the services above is preferred, high school transcripts may also be emailed directly from the school to admissions@georgefox.edu or mailed to:

The majority of students admitted to George Fox enter with a high school GPA of 3.0 or higher, and the average high school GPA for first-time freshmen is 3.6.

Required: Military Transcript

A joint service transcript (or Community College of the Air Force transcript for Air Force members) must be received from all veteran students so that applicable credit can be given.

Potentially required: Academic reference

If your cumulative GPA is below a 3.0, we recommend submitting an academic reference with your application.

You can submit a reference in one of two ways:

• Through the application portal. You can enter your reference's contact information, and then that reference will receive an email with some short questions to answer.
• If you already have a recommendation letter on hand or your reference is already writing something, email it to your admissions counselor, and we will add it to your file.

Those aren’t required. We mean it! Spend that time applying for extra scholarships instead.

This is the big moment! You haven’t actually made your college decision until you’ve submitted your enrollment deposit. Submitting your enrollment deposit is your way of telling us we’ll see you this fall. Time to celebrate – your Bruin adventure is officially underway!

On-campus housing selections are made in order of enrollment deposit, and students who deposit on or before January 15 will get to select their dorm room much earlier during housing selection. All enrollment deposits are refundable prior to the May 1 deadline.

The enrollment deposit is not waived for veterans or military dependents.

Meet with the university’s certifying official to obtain information about your specific benefit, how your benefits affect your account balance and to complete required VA benefits paperwork.

Among the required paperwork is a Certificate of Eligibility from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, which should be submitted to veterans@georgefox.edu at least 60 days before the start of your first semester.

Once you have the opportunity, register for 12 or more credits that apply to your degree; wait-listed classes cannot be certified to the VA.
