A student who stops attending a class but does not submit an add/ drop form will not be dropped from the class and will receive a grade of Unofficial Withdrawal for the course.

Unofficially withdrawn stu dents will not receive a refund of any portion of tuition or fees and will receive grades of UW or Ffor their courses. STUDENT'S RECORDS Enrollees are advised that the university maintains school and student records for no longer than a five-year period beyond the student's final term of enrollment, with the exception of transcripts. ATTENDANCE Regular class attendance is expected of all students. Classes are conducted in a manner that will encourage acad emic excellence and the growth of Christian character. The final authority for attendance and any effect that it might have upon grades rests with the individual faculty member. This is due to the tremendous variety of class size and pur pose, and the specific requirements in attendance.

SLC Service Learning Contract This type of course involves the student in a ministry off campus in the community. Acredit "CR" indicates the completion of course work with academic performance equal to or higher than the "satisfac tory" standard for the degree program (normally "C" 2.00 for undergraduate programs and "B" 3.00 for graduate programs.) A "W" indicates an official withdrawal from a course and does not affect the student's grade point average. A "UW" indicates an unofficial withdrawal. Students who register for courses but do not attend classes are given the grade of "UW"which will influence the GPA the same as an "F." A temporary mark of "RD" (report delayed) will be issued in special cases when approved by the dean of school of arts and sciences (undergraduate students) and the deans of the respective schools (graduate students). The grade point average of a student is obtained by divid ing the total number of units attempted at Biola University into the total number of grade points obtained at Biola. ( This calculation does not include courses transferred from another institution and starts anew for graduate programs.)
