The cost of this insurance is to be covered by the student. The estimated cost of this insurance is $6.00 per semester and this 1s subject to change from time to time by the insurance company. When a student registers he must indicate whether or not he is insured by his parents if he is a minor, or by himself if he is over 21 years of age. If a student is not insured, then the insurance program offered by the school is required. PRACTICAL CHRISTIAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT At the beginning of each semester, a full-time Director of the Christian Service Department interviews each student to ascertain the best practical outlet for, and application of, the truth taught in the classes. While at Biola, in order to prepare him better for work in the various areas of service in the church and community, a student is expected to have practical experience in many Christian activities: Sunday school, jail work, detention homes, hospitals, street meetings, churches, and other avenues of service. At present students serve in approximately 300 churches in Southern California. Each student is expected to devote a minimum of three hours a week in his assigned Christian service and receives one unit of non-academic credit each semester. 29
