STUDENT SERVICES
RESIDENCE REQUIREMENTS All unmarried freshmen, sophomores and juniors under 21 years of age and not living with their parents are expected to live in the residence halls if they are enrolled for IO units or more. Seniors and postgraduate 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 undergraduate residence halls are required to participate in the food service program. All university undergraduate residence hall s wi ll be closed over the Christmas holiday. International students or other students with extreme circumstances requiring them to remain in residence during this period shou ld contact the Housing Manager in Student Affairs early in the fa ll semester to make necessary arrangements. HOUSING RESERVATION All accepted applicants who indicate that they want hous- ing will be sent a housing information card by the Admis- sions Office along with their notice of acceptance. This card must be filled out and returned to the Admissions office with a $100 housing deposit and the required $100 enrollment deposit. No room can be reserved without this deposit. App li cants who have paid the $100 room reservation 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 fa ll semester or prior to December 15 for the spring semester. Failure to notify the Housing Manager by the designated dates wi ll result in for- fe iture of the deposit. The $100 wi ll be kept on deposit by the Un iversity to hold a space in on-campus housing until such a time as the student withdraws, graduates or requests a refund as described above. CONTINUING STUDENTS: PROCEDURE FOR RESERVING CAMPUS HOUSING Continuing on-campus students desiring to reserve on- campus housing for the fa ll must sign up for the room of their choice according to the reservation schedule in the spring. Commuter students desiring to live on campus need to contact the Housing Manager. COMMUTER STUDENTS Students who li ve off campus are an important part of our university communi ty. Because it may take more effort for commuter students to feel a part of a university commu- nity, commuter students are strongly encouraged to interact with those students living in residence halls and to partic- ipate in student life on campus. Involvement in clubs and leadership opportunities is strongly encouraged. For under- graduate students, the Student Senate and the Student Rela- tions Board have designated positions which provide repre- sentational status for commuters. Information and services
for commuter students, including commuter hostel housing, are handled 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 en trees, sandwiches, soups, fresh fruits, bread, beverages, and desserts is offered. The food service staff will work out individual programs for students with spe- cial dietary requirements or weight reduction programs pre- scribed by a physician. Avariety of meal plans are available. All undergraduate students living in the residence halls are required to choose either a 10-, 12-, 15- or 20-meal plan; or a 10-, 12-, 15- or 20- flex-meal plan. (The numbers indicated are per week.) A "flex" plan is 10, 12, 15 or 20 meals per week at Cafe Biola, our dining room, plus "flex poin ts" to purchase additional meals either at Cafe Biola, the Eagles' Nest, our on-campus coffee shop, or Common Grounds, our new coffee house. There is a 5-meal plan and a 5-flex-meal plan wh ich are provided only for graduate students, commuter students, or students who reside in the Biola apartments. Students who sign a meal-plan contract must inform Aux- iliary Seroices if they wish to cancel their meal plan. They will be charged up to the end of the week in which Auxiliaiy Ser- vices is notified of the cancellation.
