STUDENT SERVICES 1111111:l
B iola recognizes that education does not toke place exclusively in the classroom; rather, the individual student is viewed as a "whole person" and we ore 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 deportments ore devoted to this emphasis. The Student Affairs Deportment is responsible for programs and activities both in the residence halls and throughout the campus community. Also, they supervise such areas as career planning, financial aid, health services, discipline, advisement to student organizations, publications, new student orientation, counseling and testing, learn ing skills development, ethnic and international student relations and campus safety. Auxiliary Services Deportment is responsible for the business management of the residence halls, the cafeteria, the bookstore and the scheduling of facilities for Biala's various programs. RESIDENCE LIFE The residence halls ore more than a place for students to sleep and study. We also see the halls as a place for a person to develop in oil areas of his or her life . Programs and staff ore therefore available to provide such growth. We see the residence hall as on exciting, challenging place to live. There are resident directors Most rooms accommodate two students and are equipped with individual study desks, single beds, individual wardrobe closets and chest of drawers. Each residence hall has laundry rooms equipped with metered washing machines and dryers. Students ore expected to supply their own linens (sheets, pillowcases and towels, blankets, pillow, bedspreads) and electric irons. No cooking equipment is allowed in the residence hall rooms. Student Affairs has qualified staff members supervising the development and well-being of the individual students in each residence hall unit. RESIDENCE REQUIREMENTS All unmarried freshmen, sophomores and iuniors under 21 years of age and nol living with their parents ore expected to live in the residence halls if they are enrolled for ten units or more. Seniors and postgraduate students may live in the residence halls on a space-available basis. Requests for exceptions ore to be directed in writing to the manager of the residence halls. All resident students ore and assistants available in each hall to assist you.

COMMUTER STUDENTS Students who live off campus ore on important part of our university community.
