Partner with George Fox University

George Fox University is Oregon’s top Christian university, committed to providing students with personal attention, global opportunities to learn and serve, and a supportive community that encourages academic rigor and spiritual growth.

Dual Credit Partnerships

High schools can elect to offer dual-credit courses taught by their own instructors and sponsored by George Fox University faculty.

Following are the steps to take to make this a reality at your high school:

  1. The high school administrator or instructor submits the following to the Early College Office:

    1. A syllabus that meets the New Course Checklist requirements

    2. An Early College Instructor Application, along with copies of both graduate and undergraduate transcripts. Instructors may also include a résumé. Dual credit instructors must meet George Fox’s instructor qualification requirements, which include holding a master’s degree or having substantial professional experience in the relevant field.

  2. A George Fox faculty liaison will review the syllabus to assess curriculum alignment and rigor. Once the course and instructor are approved, the Early College Office will notify the administrator and instructor to discuss the next steps.
  3. George Fox Dual Credit Instructors will be paired with a George Fox faculty liaison and granted access to extensive library resources. They will also join a collegiate faculty network, gain access to professional development opportunities, and be invited to participate in events throughout the year.

George Fox University is a member of the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP).

If you have any questions about this process, please contact Metra Augustin, K12 Initiatives Director, by phone 503-554-2404 or by email maugustin@georgefox.edu.
