Student Services
GUIDANCE In the Department of Student Services , all functions are related to assisting the student develop to his fullest potential. It is recognized that education does not take place ex clusively in the classroom; therefore, Biola attempts to aid the student by providing necessary services in areas other than academic. All matters relating to housing, health services, financial aid, career guidance, graduate placement , discipline, advisement to student organizations and student publications , campus activities , new studen t orientation , counseling and testing, and research relating to students at Biola are the responsibility of the Dean of Students. The objectives of the counseling program have been interrelated with the disciplinary system of the schoo l. A minimum number of rules is combined with instruction in Christian principles of conduct for the purpose of encouraging students toward mature self-guidance. The college offers assistance in career guidance and placement through the Counseling Center. The student is counseled and offered a wide variety of tests to assist him in dealing with problems in the educational and vocational areas and in personal and social problems related to these areas and to give guidance in career planning. Placement services include information relating to available jobs and opportunities to make contacts with potential employers in industry, government, Christian organizations, and the professions. RESIDENCE REQUIREMENTS All unmarried students under 21 years of age are expected to live in the residence hall s if they are enrolled for ten ( 10) units or more and if they are not living with their parents.
