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, graduate placement, discipline , advisement to student organizations and student publications, campus activities, new student orientation, counseling and testing, and research relating to students at Biola are the responsibility of the Office of the Dean of Students. The objectives of the counseling program have been interrelated with the disciplinary system of the school. 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 Guidance and Placement through the Counseling Center.

Placement services include information relating to available jobs and opportunities to make contacts with potential employers in industry , government, Christian organizations, and the professions.
