ACADEMIC INFORMATION
§ ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS AND APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION
Each applicant must secure from the Admissions Office regular application forms. He must also request from each secondary school which he has attended a complete, official transcript. These forms and transcripts should be filed with the Admissions Office one month before the semester opens. A deposit of $10.00 must accompany the personal application form. This amount will be applied to the registration fee at the time of enrollment, or will be refunded if notice of change of plan is given one month before the semester opens, or if the student has not been accepted for admission. An accepted student who does not enter when expected may request that his application be extended to the following semester. A student who delays entrance for a year must file a current medical record. FRESHMAN STANDING. An applicant for regular standing must hold an accredited high school diploma or its academic equivalent, and should have been a Christian for at least one year. Veterans who have not completed 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 for regular standing should meet the following requirements: English 3 units Social Science 2 units Language (in one language) 2 units Science 1 unit Electives 7 units Applicants who cannot meet the specific prerequisite requirements will be admitted to provisional standing until deficiencies have been removed. All deficien cies, which must be cleared by the beginning of the sophomore year, 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 College. Graduates of non-accredited high schools will be accepted provisionally, and upon the satisfactory completion of one semester's work will achieve regular standing. ADVANCED STANDING. Applicants for 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 Biola's requirements for graduation. Students transferring from non-accredited institutions must validate their courses by examination or by satisfactory completion of twelve units of work taken during their first semester. 17
