21 STUDENT SERVICES
Student Services Biola recognizes that education does not take place exclusively in the classroom; rather, the individual student is viewed as a "whole person" and we are committed to contributing to his or her development 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 community. Also, they super vise such areas as career planning, health services, discipline, advisement to the student organizations, new student orientation, learning skills development, ethnic and international student relations and campus safety. The Auxiliary Services Department is responsi ble for the business management of the residence halls, the cafeteria, the bookstore and the scheduling of facili ties for Biola's various programs. RESIDENCE LIFE The residence halls are more than a place for students 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. Programs and staff are therefore available to provide such growth. We see the residence hall as an exciting, challenging place to live. There are resident directors and assistants available in each hall to assist you. THE RESIDENCE HALLS Most rooms accommodate two students and are equipped with individual study desks, single beds, indi vidual closets and chest of drawers. Each residence 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 equipment is allowed in the residence hall rooms. Student Affairs has qualified staff members super vising the development and well-being of the individual students in each residence hall unit. ON-CAMPUS APARTMENTS Beginning the spring semester of 1990, two apart ment buildings will be ready for occupancy by Biola students. Two-bedroom apartments may be rented by students 21 years of age or older. Each apartment will be occupied by four persons, two per bedroom. One bedroom apartments will be available primarily for married student with no children. Information on deposits, rental rates and opening dates may be obtained from the Housing Services Office.
are expected to live in the residence halls if they are enrolled for 10 units or more. Seniors and postgradu ate students may live in residence halls or apartments on a space-available basis. Requests for exceptions are to be directed in writing to the manager of the resi dence halls. 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 peri ods should contact the Housing Services Office early in the fall semester to make necessary arrangements. HOUSING RESERVATION All accepted applicants will be sent a housing infor mation 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 $50 room reservation deposit in addition to the $50 enrollment deposit. No room can be reserved without this deposit. Applicants who have paid the $50 room reservation deposit and are unable to live in the residence halls may request a refund of this deposit if the Housing Office has been notified in writing. The Housing Office 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 Office by the designated dates will result in forfeiture of the deposit. At this time, Biola is not able to offer any housing for married students, but does have off-campus housing information available in the Housing Office. CONTINUING STUDENTS: PROCEDURE FOR RESERVING CAMPUS HOUSING Continuing students desiring to reserve on-<:ampus 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. Due to the fact that it is often difficult for the commuter students to feel a part of a university community, we strongly encourage them to interact with students living in residence halls and to participate in student life on campus. Information and services for commuter students are available both through the Student Affairs Department and the Department of Auxiliary Services. The Housing Office maintains listings of apartments, homes and ofkampus rooms which are for lease or rent. Information regard ing the legal rights of renters in California is also avail able in the Housing Office. In addition, the Student Affairs Department has provided a commuter lounge where you may unwind and relax during lunch or after classes. The commuter lounge is located in the Student Union Building.
