Students are not admitted to the College and classes may not be added later than 10 school days after the last day of Registration. Changes in a student’s class schedule shall he made only in the Registrar’s Office. A class dropped or a withdrawal from school after the sixth week will be recorded as a A failure unless the teacher reports work of passing quality. A charge of fifty cents is made for each class change, including the dropping of classes. EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES All groups or individuals who represent the College must manifest satisfactory standing as to application, cooperation, spiiitual life, and scholastic attainment (the over-all grade point average, as well as the average for the preceding semester, must be C), and must he approved by the faculty. Students desiring to organize S. M. U. or deputation teams or to accept speaking engagements must first consult with the Director of Christian Service. .The musical personnel and programs for all teams must be approved by the Music Department. STUDENT GUIDANCE SERVICES Biola has had a counseling program involving the assignment of students to faculty advisors with definite times set for interviews. This has been supplementary to the advisory work of the Superintendent of Men, the Superintendent of Women, and the Director of Christian Service. The above program' was enlarged in 1951 by the addition of a full-time counselor to coordinate and integrate the counseling program of the school. In addition to a battery of academic aptitude, personality inventories., tests in the field of English, and such other tests as are needed in specific cases, as well as a semester of Freshmen orientation classes ,the counseling program has resulted in a reorganization of the student-faculty relationship with respect to student participation in matters of discipline and control which will go into operation in the fall of 1952. Every student entering the College is interviewed by the Director of Student Counseling and assigned to a faculty advisor. Each semestèr the student is interviewed a t least once by his advisor as a part of his education. If special problems arise the student is directed to the Director of Counseling for further guidance and testing if necessary. The records of interviews held by faculty advisors become a part of the permanent records of the Counselor’s Office. Every attempt has been made to organize the counseling program on a basis which will take into account the student as a person rather than as a statistical unit. The procedures now in operation have as their final goal the academic, social, voca tional, and spiritual orientation of the student. VETERANS The Bible Institute of Los Angeles, Incorporated, is authorized to train students under thé G. I. Bill of Rights. Veterans who desire to come to school under the G. I. Bill of Riglits should secure a Certificate of Eligibility from their local office of Veterans Administration before Registration Day.
