Student Services
Biola recognizes that education does not take place exclusively in the classroom; rather, the indi vidual student is viewed as a "whole person" and we are committed to contributing to his or her develop ment in the social, personal, physical and spiritual areas of life, as well as in the academic area. Toward that end, several departments are devoted to this emphasis. The Student Affairs Department is responsible for programs and activities both in the residence halls and throughout the campus com munity. Also, they supervise such areas as career planning, discipline, advisement to the student orga nizations, new student orientation, learning skills development, ethnic and international student rela tions and campus safety. The Auxiliary Services Department is responsible for the business manage ment of the residence facilities, the cafeteria, the health services, the bookstore, the duplicating cen ter and the schedu ling of facilities for Biola's various non-academic programs. RESIDENCE LIFE The residence halls are more than a place for stu dents to sleep and study. We also see the halls as a place for a person to develop in all areas of his or her life. For this reason programs and staff are available to provide an environment for such growth. We see the residence hall as an exciting, challenging place to live. The resident directors and assistants are avail able in each hall to serve as a resource for students. THE RESIDENCE HALLS Most rooms accommodate two students and are equipped with individual study desks, single beds, individual closets and a chest of drawers. Each resi dence hall has laundry rooms equipped with metered washing machines and dryers. Students are expected to supply their own linens (sheets, pillowcases, towels, blankets, pillow, and bedspreads) and electric irons. No cooking equip ment is allowed in the residence hall rooms. ON-CAMPUS APARTMENTS Two on-campus apartment buildings are available for occupancy by Biola students. Two-bedroom apartments may be rented by single students 21 years of age or older. Each apartment will be occupied by four persons, two per bedroom. One-bedroom apartments designed for occupancy by two persons, are available primarily for married students. Information on deposits and rental rates may be obtained from the Auxiliary Services Office. RESIDENCE REQUIREMENTS All unmarried freshmen, sophomores and juniors under 21 years of age and not living with their par ents are expected to live in the residence halls if they are enroll ed for 10 units or more. Seniors and post graduate students may live in residence halls or apartments on a space-available basis. Requests for
exceptions are to be directed in writing to the Housing Manager in Student Affairs. All students living in residence halls are required to participate in the food service program. All university residence halls will be closed over the Christmas holidays and Spring break. International students or other students with extreme circumstances requiring them to remain in residence during these periods should contact the Housing Manager in Student Affairs early in the fall semester to make necessary arrangements. HOUSING RESERVATION All accepted applicants will be sent a housing information card with the notice of acceptance which must be filled out and returned by all who plan to live on campus. Applicants must remit a $100 room reservation deposit in addition to the $100 enrollment deposit. No room can be reserved without this deposit. Applicants who have paid the $100 room reserva tion deposit and are unable to live in the residence halls may request a refund of this deposit if the Housing Manager has been notified in writing. The Housing Manager must receive this notification prior to July 15 for the fall semester or prior to December 15 for the spring semester. Failure to notify the Housing Manager by the designated dates will result in forfeiture of the deposit.

CONTINUING STUDENTS: PROCEDURE FOR RESERVING CAMPUS HOUSING
Continuing students desiring to reserve on-cam pus housing for the fall must sign up for the room of their choice according to the reservation schedule in the spring. COMMUTER STUDENTS Students who live off campus are an important part of our university community. Because it may take more effort for commuter students to feel a part of a university community, commuter students are strongly encouraged to interact with those students living in residence halls and to participate in student life on campus. Involvement in clubs and leadership opportunities is strongly encouraged. For under graduate students, the Student Senate and the Student Relations Board have designated positions which provide representational status for com muters. Information and services for commuter stu dents, including commuter hostel housing, are han dled through the Student Affairs Office and the Department of Auxiliary Services. FOOD SERVICE Biola provides an excellent food service for all students. Awide variety of offerings is avail able, including a choice of hot entrees, a salad bar, several specialty salads, fresh fruits, a deli-bar, a soup and
