re-admission and pay a fee of $5. 00. Returning students should apply prior to June 30 for fall enrollment. Students enrolled for the spring semester, but who fail to pre-register for the fall semester, will be charged a $20 re-application fee. Advanced Placement Program Biola College, as a member of the College Entrance Examination Board, recognizes the merits of the Advanced Placement Program and will grant credit for Advanced Placement courses taken in high school. Credit will be given when recommended by the high school and when the Advanced Placement examination grade is 3 or better. College Level Examination Program Biola College subscribes to the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) of the College Entrance Examination Board. Biola College encourages transfer students from non-accredited schools which have less than a C rating to validate certain credits on the basis of the examinations provided by this program. High School students with superior records are encouraged to take the General Examinations prior to entering Biola College. Credit for CLEP-General Examinations will be awarded only in those areas where a general education requirement has not been met by previous college course work, and only up to the amount needed to complete the requirement. (For example, a maximum of only eight units in the sciences and mathematics will be released if the student has no credits in these areas.) Elective credit will not be given for the General Examinations of CLEP. Credits will be awarded for CLEP-Subject examinations for general education requirements in areas not covered by CLEP-General Examinations provided no college credits have been earned or awarded in the same field. Students are advised to take the CLEP tests as early as possible in their college program to receive the maximum value from them. Biola College reseNes the right to determine the score at which credits will be released and the amount of credit awarded. Challenging a Course In addition to the Advanced Placement Program and the College Level Examination Program, both of which may release actual units of credit toward graduation, it is possible for a student to challenge a particular course or requirement. If the student demonstrates by his performance on a comprehensive examination that he has a good grasp of the course content he can be granted exemption from taking the course but no units of credit will be allowed. For further information see the Dean of Admissions and Records.
