ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS AND APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION All applicants for admission should be at least eighteen years of age, of at least one year’s Christian experience, well recommended by three referees, and physically capable of carrying a schedule of classroom work. Each applicant must file with the Registrar regular application forms. (These forms may he secured from the Registrar’s Office.) He must also request each secondary school which he has attended to send a complete, official transcript to the Registrar. These forms and transcripts should he in one month before the semester opens. FRESHMAN STANDING. An applicant to regular standing must hold an ac credited high school diploma or its academic equivalent. Veterans who have not com pleted their high school education may take the G. E. D. (General Educational Development) Test at a local high school or college. Successful passing of this test makes the veteran eligible for admission to regular standing. Biola Bible College reserves the right to administer further tests or require additional work if the student is low in any part of his G. E. D. test. Applicants to regular standing must be graduates of accredited high schools and have the following eight recommended units: three of. English, two of social science, two of language, one of science, or the equivalents. Applicants who cannot meet the specific prerequisite requirements will be admitted to provisional standing. Provisional standing continues until the student has removed these deficiencies. All deficiencies must be cleared by the beginning of the sophomore year. Such deficiencies may be made up by taking college courses which cover the required material. Credits earned to cover a high school deficiency cannot be applied toward graduation from the College. Students whose transcripts contain unsatisfactory grades must satisfactorily pass additional entrance examinations in order to be admitted on provisional standing. Satis factory completion of a year’s work will place the student in regular standing. Graduates of non-accredited high schools will be accepted provisionally. Upon the satisfactory completion of one year’s work, they will achieve regular standing. ADVANCED STANDING. Applicants to advanced standing must present the same application forms and transcripts as those applying for freshman standing. The transcript from the last school attended must bear the statement of honorable dismissal. Students transferring from accredited schools will receive credit for courses which are equivalent to our requirements for graduation. Students transferring from non- accredited institutions must validate their courses by examinations. In no case will a grade lower than “C” be accepted for transfer credit. Students entering the College with advanced standing must meet the minimum residence requirements for graduation: one year of residence work with at least twelve hours of classroom work per semester, and one semester of residence in the dormitory.” SPECIAL STANDING.
