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 Â鶹´«Ã½ Fox using one of the following services:

• (preferred)
• (preferred)

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 Â鶹´«Ã½ 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.

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.

Financial Aid

Â鶹´«Ã½ Fox does not have separate in-state and out-of-state tuition rates for students. Therefore, our undocumented Bruins will experience the same tuition rate and could be eligible for additional institutional aid and external scholarships. Additionally, our Scholarship Resource Center outlines tools to help students approach the scholarship process.
