Graduate Student Housing Rates

Biola owns and leases apartments in the local community to provide housing for single and married graduate students. Some apartments are furnished and provide housing for single graduates at a per person, per month rate which is based on the number of occupants per bedroom. Unfurnished one– and two bedroom units located in two complexes near campus provide housing for couples and singles at a per apartment, per month rate. For information on availability, locations and rates contact Auxiliary Services at grad.housing@biola.edu or at (562) 944–0351, ext. 5814.

Biola University seeks to provide a quality education for all its students at the most reasonable cost possible. As a private, nonprofit 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 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.

In addition, to insure timely processing, the student name and ID number must be clearly noted on all payments. A student is not registered and cannot attend classes until satisfactory financial arrangements have been made with the Student Accounting Office.

• First two days: complete refund.

$100 Outstanding Balances As Biola is an educational institution, any balance owing on a student’s account is an extension of credit by the University and is considered an educational loan within the meaning of section 523 (a) (8) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. If a loan becomes in default, Biola may disclose the default, along with other relevant information, to credit bureau organizations and turn the educational loan over to a collection agency for collection. Should this action be instituted by the University, there will be additional charges for reasonable collection of the balance due. All transcripts and diplomas shall be withheld until the outstanding amount is paid in full. An account is considered paid in full when all checks clear the bank. Refunds—Overpayment Payments to student accounts which result in a credit balance will be refunded upon request, or in accordance with cash management regulations as required by federal regulations for students having federal aid. Requests for adjustments to charges must be made within four months from the date of the student’s statement on which the charge first appears.
