HOUSING RESERVATION All accepted applicants will be sent a housing information card with the notice of acceptance which must be filled out and returned by all who plan to enroll. On-campus housing is highly desired by students, thus early application will help to ensure that you will have a space reserved for you. However, those who desire on-campus housing must also 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 are unable to enroll may request a refund of this deposit if the University has been notified prior to July 31 that the applicant wi II be unable to enroll for the fall semester or prior to December 31 for the spring semester. Failure to notify Biota by the designated dates will result in forfeiture of the deposit. At this time Biola is not able to offer any housing for married students , but does have a housing office to aid students in finding off-campus housing.

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 consis tent 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 "State ment 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 university. STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES Biola University offers health services for all registered students . These services can be obtained at the campus Student Health Center. Physician hours change from semester to semester and are posted on the doors of the university health center. 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 seven units or more are required to have physic al examinations prior to coming to Biola University . These re cords must be complete and on file with the university health center. 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 university games or activities. The use of school facilities is at the student'·s own personal risk .
