It is the student ' s responsibility to inform the registrar that a particular semester is his final semester at Biola. An applicant who has paid the $50 enrollment deposit but does not en­ roll will have this deposit retained to his credit for one year. Failure to make this deposit by the time specified may result in a cancellation of admission. Accompanying the letter of acceptance will be a health form which must be properly completed by both the applicant and the applicant's physician. A medical consent form is also required of single students under the age of eighteen . Transfer Students Transfer students must present the same application forms and transcripts as those apply­ ing for freshman standing . The transcript from the last school attended must bear the statement of honorable dismissal.

A minimum grade average of "C" (2 .00) is required on all work attempted at the college level. Those transferring with 30 semester units or more of college work will be considered on the basis of their college grades.
