STUDENT SERVICES
B iola 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 ta contributing ta 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 communi ty. 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 sk ills development, ethnic and international student relations and campus safety. Auxiliary Services Department is responsible for the business management of the residence halls, the cafeteria, the bookstore and the scheduling of facilities 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 ta 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 ore resident directors Most rooms accommodate two students and are equipped with individua l 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 juniors under21 years of age and not living with their parents are expected to live in the residence halls if they are enrolled far ten units or more. Seniors and postgraduate students may live in the residence halls on a space-available basis. Requests far exceptions are to be directed in writing to the manager of the residence halls. All resident students are and assistants available in each hall ta assist you. THE RESIDENCE HALLS All accepted applicants will be sent ahousing 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 $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 ore unable to enroll may request a refund of this deposit if the university has been notified prior to July 15 that the applicant will be unable to enroll far the fall semester or prior to December 15 far the spring semester.

CONTINUING STUDENTS: PROCEDURE FOR RESERVING CAMPUS HOUSING Continuing students desiring to reserve on-campus housing far the fall must sign up far 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.
