In the case of withdrawal, or moving off campus, the student must submit a written request for refund of the housing deposit to the Housing Office at the time the student moves off campus (claim forms available at the Housing Office). Such notification must be received prior to July 15 after the spring semester or prior to January 15 after the fall semester. Refunded deposits will be credited to the student’s University account balance. In the case of graduation, the deposit will be automatically refunded to the student’s account balance. In case of an exemption to the residence requirement, the terms of the exemption will inform the student whether the deposit will be refunded or forfeited. Refunded deposits will be credited to the student’s University account balance. Continuing Students: Procedure for Reserving Campus Housing Continuing on–campus students desiring to reserve on–campus housing for the fall must sign up for the room of their choice according to the reservation schedule in the spring. Commuter students desiring to live on campus need to contact the Housing Manager.
A variety of meal plans are available. All students living in the residence halls are required to choose either a 10 without flex or 10 –, 12–, 15– or 20–flex meal plan (the numbers indicated are meals per week), or a 175 block plan. A “flex” plan is 10, 12, 15, or 20 meals per week at Cafe Biola, our dining room, plus “flex dollars” to purchase additional meals either at Cafe Biola, the Eagles’ Nest, our on–campus coffee shop, or Common Grounds, our coffee house, the coffee cart, or the School of Business The Talon Grab N Go. Commuter students or students who reside in the Biola apartments have further meal plan options. Check with Food Services for details.

This department is responsible for representation of commuter student concerns as well as provision of services and programs tailored for commuters. Commuter Life also serves as a resource to advise the University regarding current commuter student needs and concerns, and is also responsible for the management of the Collegium, a home–away–from–home for commuter students. Additional resources are available for students through Commuter Life website: studentlife.biola.edu/campus–life/ commuter–life/.
