Housing Contracts are for the academic year, not per semester. Freshmen and sophomores not living at home are required to live on campus.
Cancellation of housing reservations for students not enrolling at Biola must be in written form and addressed to the Housing Office.
Meal plans are for the academic year and must be cancelled in person or in writing addressed to the Operations Manager. Students are charged for meals until the meal plan contract is cancelled.
Residents of campus housing, except for the apartments, are required to purchase a minimum 10 meal plan. Meal plans are offered to apartments residents, but are not required.
Additional Housing Info
The triple occupancy discount is not "official" until the primary billing date of each semester (September 15 for Fall; February 15 for Spring). Triple room resident may see the discount on their Registration bills if all three triple room occupants are assigned at the time of semester Registration. However, if one or more roommates does not arrive or moves out of the room between Registration and the semester billing date ( September 15 for Fall; February 15 for Spring), subsequent semester billing statements will reflect the normal double occupancy rate.
University insurance does not cover students' personal belongings. Check with your home owners or renters insurance carrier to see if your student's belongings can be covered while he or she is away from home.
Roommate conflicts are resolved through your students RD or ARD and the students involved.
All contracts are signed by your student and therefore are the responsibility of the student to comply with and/or to cancel. Notifying other departments on campus does not cancel housing or meal plans. The housing office and/or the Operations Manager must be contacted.
