Change of Registration A student who finds it necessary to drop or add a class must obtain from the Office of Admissions and Records the proper form for such procedure. A student who drops a course without fulfilling this requirement will receive a "UW" in the subject. A charge of $2.00 is made for each class change transaction . Addition of classes may be made during the first two weeks of the semester. After that date courses cannot be added unless approved by the Registrar. Courses may be dropped without penalty during the first twelve weeks of classes. If a course is dropped during the first six weeks of classes, it will not be recorded on the student's permanent record. Courses dropped between the sixth and thirteenth week of classes will have a grade of "W" recorded. Withdrawal A student who officially withdraws from college during a semester will receive a grade of "W" in all courses if withdrawal is no later than the end of the twelfth week of class. Otherwise, a grade of "UW" or "F" will be given. A student who withdraws may be granted honorable dismissal provided that he has met all his financial obligations to the college, has secured from the Office of Admissions and Records and completed all forms for withdrawal, and is in good standing at the time. A student who withdraws unofficially, that is, has not completed the proper forms supplied by the Registrar, will not receive a refund of any portion of his tuition or fees, and will receive a grade of "UW" in each course. If he has no financial obligations to the college, a transcript of his work will be sent to another school upon request. Classification of Students A student's classification is determined at the beginning of each semester according to the following plan: Freshman 26 units or less completed Sophomore 27-56 units completed Junior 57-95 units completed Senior 96 units or more completed Junior College Transfer No student will be permitted to transfer more than 70 units of credit from a junior college. No upper division credit can be allowed for courses taken in a junior college. Final authority for the acceptance of transfer credits into Biola College is the Office of Admissions and Records. Admission Counselors are prepard to give academic advisement to those attending or planning to attend community (junior) colleges with the intention of transferring into Biola College .
Attendance Regular class attendance is expected of all students. Classes are conducted in a manner that will encourage academic excellence and the growth of Christian chara.cter. Because of the tremendous variety of class size and purpose, specific requirements in attendance, the final authority for attendance, and any effect that it might have upon grades rest with the individual faculty member. Pre-Registration Pre-registration for the fall semester is held during the month of May, and for the spring semester in late November and early December. All students are required to pre-register if they plan to return to school the next semester. Failure to pre-register will mean filing an application for re-admission (fee $25.00) if the individual plans to enroll for the next semester .
