Financial Information Biola University seeks to provide a quality education for all its stu- dents 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 subsidy made possible by the gifts of alumni, individual friends, interested churches and, in a few cases, businesses and corporations. The expenses of students at Biola University are shown in the fol- lowing schedules. 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. Undergraduate applications for spring received af- ter January 1, or for fall received after March 1, must be accompanied by a fee of $55 rather than $45. Applications for fall undergraduate study received after July 1 must be accompanied by a fee of $55.
