These advisors are located in the five areas most densely populated by those students living off campus. Facilitating the relationships between the commuter student and the college and between the student and his community is a prime concern of this program. The unique needs of the married student are considered along with those of the single student. Housing and car pooling information are also available in the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs. DISCIPLINE Biola College is dedicated to the training of young people who are sincere and earnest in their desire to live for Jesus Christ. Because this is true , students are expected to give evidence of conduct consistent with such a profession. The disciplined life is consistent with the biblical model for a Christian. At the time of admission, each student enters into an agreement with the College to be responsible for certain details of activity and conduct. Students whose attitudes prove to be uncooperative are asked to withdraw from the College. STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES Biola College offers a Health Service for all registered students. This service is under the direction of an on-campus
physician with a schedu.led sick call every morning and every afternoon, Monday through Friday. A medical consent form must be signed by parent or guardian for all unmarried students under eighteen years of age. This consent does not take away a student's privilege of choosing his own medical care. Students carrying 7 units or more are required to have physical examinations prior to coming to Biola College. These records must be complete and on file with the college physician. Biola offers protection to the student against certain expenses caused by accident, injury, or emergency illness in the form of a required plan of medical insurance. The cost of this insurance is $50.00 per semester and is subject to change from lime to time by the company. · Biola does not assume any responsibility for serious illness or accident on or off campus, in or out of college games or activities. The use of school facilities is at the student's own personal risk.

This program is part of the services available through the Counseling Center. Inquiries should be made to the Director, Career Planning and Placement, Biola College.

In addition to these personal devotional periods, students meet daily, Monday through Friday, for a half-hour chapel service with worship and praise as the primary purpose.
