Financial Information Biola University seeks to provide a quality education for all its students at the most reasonable cost possible. As a private, non- profit institution, Biola University receives no support from taxes or other public funds. Tuition paid by the students does not cover the costs of providing a quality education. Consequently, every student who attends Biola University receives a substantial sub- sidy made possible by the gifts of alumni, individual friends, inter- ested churches and, in a few cases, businesses and corporations. The expenses of students at Biola University are shown in the following schedules and in the individual course descriptions listed in this catalog. Tuition and fees are subject to change in the second year of the two-year catalog. The University reserves the right to change all student charges, modify its services, or change its programs of study should economic conditions, curriculum revisions or national emergency make it necessary to do so. Application Fee An application fee of $45 must accompany each application. This fee is non-refundable. Applications for spring received after Janu- ary 1, or for fall received after March 1 must be accompanied by a fee of $55 rather than $45. Applications for fall graduate study received after July 1 must be accompanied by a fee of $55.
