Nurse in cases not requiring hospital care. Where the student must go to a hos pital, the Fund will defray the charge for room and board in one of the best hospitals in the city, to an amount not exceeding $80 .00. This does not include physicians' fees, charges for surgical operations, ambulance service, or medicines. Maternity cases, or illness due to chronic conditions existing before entering the Institute, or acci dents due to carelessness or recklessness, will not entitle a student to the privileges of the Fund. In case of an epidemic the Fund will be used as far as it will go, when a further contribution will be necessary. EXPENSE OF ROOM AND BOARD The present rate for room and board is $8.25 a week, payable in advance. Owing to the uncertainty of market conditions, this rate is subject to change from time to time. The Institute aims to charge students only the actual cost for board and room. The rooms in the Institute are single rooms, comfortably furnished, lighted, heated and supplied with running water, hot and cold. The Institute supplies the linens and launders the same. Students take care of their rooms. Excellent table board is pro vided in the Institute dining room. EMPLOYMENT AND FINANCIAL AID Students entering for the first time must have sufficient funds to carry them · through at least the first semester, approximately $160.00 for board and room. Pro vision should also be made for personal expenditures beyond this amount. For the benefit of students needing some help in defraying their expenses, the In stitute maintains a Student Employment Bureau, through which many students are placed in positions for part time work. Many students can give two or three hours a day to remunerative employment in stores and restaurants, and by carefully budget ing their time can maintain their standing in classes. Where considerable time is necessary in employment the student may be required to take a reduced schedule and thus prolong his time of study at the Institute before graduation. Definite regulations regarding hours of employment will be found in the Students' Handbook. ADVANCED STANDING Those who have completed work in another accredited Bible Institute, seminary, college or university, may apply for advanced standing, even if the courses are not in all cases the exact equivalent of those given in the Bible Institute of Los Angeles. The Registrar will give an approximate evaluation to such work. A definite evalua tion of credits for work done in other institutions will not be made until the close of the first semester of residence in the Bible Institute, since it is the policy of the school not to enroll students as candidates for a degree, diploma or certificate until the end of their first semester. The evaluation made at this time may later be modified in case of the failure of a student to complete advanced courses with satisfactory grades. REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION Diplomas will be granted upon the following conditions: 1. Two to four years' resident work in Los Angeles, with requisite residence in the Institute, according to requirements of course and recognition on completion of course pursued. The regular schedule calls for fifteen curricular hours of classroom work per week. This allows fifteen semester hours credit each semester. Two non curricular credits are allowed for practical work, making a total of seventeen hours each semester, or thirty-four each year. For graduation from a three-year course, a minimum of ninety-six; and for a four-year course, a minimum of 128 credit hours.
