needs of Biola's commuter students through a program involving student Commutor Advisors . Facilitating the relationships between the commuter student and the college and between the student and his community is a prime concern of this program. The unique needs of the married student are considered along with those of the single student. Housing and car pooling information are also available in the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs. The college has an on-campus lounge for commuter students. DISCIPLINE Biola College is dedicated to the training of young 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 college each student is entering into an agreement with the college 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 uncooperative are asked to withdraw from the college. STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES Biola College offers a Health Service for all registered students. This service is under the direction of an on-campus physician with a scheduled sick call every morning and every afternoon, Monday through Friday. A medical consent form must be signed by parent or guardian for all unmarried students under eighteen years of age. This consent does not take away a student's privilege of choosing his own medical care. Students carrying 7 units or more are required to have physical examinations prior to coming to Biola College. These records must be complete and on file with the college physician. Biola offers protection to the student against certain expenses caused by accident, injury, or emergency illness in the form of a required plan of medical insurance. The cost of this insurance is subject to change from time to time by the company. Biola does not assume any responsibility for serious illness or accident on or off campus, in or out of college games or activities. The use of school facilities is at the student's own personal risk. CAREER PLANNING AND PLACEMENT Biola College offers assistance to graduates and current students in the area of career development through the Career Planning and Placement Office. Counseling, testing, job search seminars and career days are some of the programs which exist to help students learn about themselves, occupational opportunities, and how to plan and influence their future. The office has a number of resource materials
