DISCIPLINE Biola University is dedicated to the training of people who are sincere and earnest in their desire to live for Jesus Christ. Because this is true, students are expected to give evidence of conduct consistent with such a profession. The disciplined life is consistent with the biblical model for a Christian. By enrolling in the university each student is entering into an agreement with Biola to be responsible for certain details of activity and conduct. This agreement is explained in a "Statement of Rights and Responsibilities" which every prospective student receives as a part of the admissions process. Students whose attitudes prove to be un cooperative may be asked to withdraw from the university. SPECIAL PROGRAMS There are other opportunities for travel each summer and occasion ally at other times during the year. Tours are directed by those with experience in travel and are offered at a nominal price. Although these tours are not limited to Biola University students, it is expected that those joining a tour will be in basic agreement with the Christian viewpoint and the standards of conduct held by Biola University. ln addition, it is expected that the individual 's health will be strong enough to stand the demanding rigors of travel.
