Spring Preview Day

February 14-15, 2010

Spring Preview Day is a two-day event where students and parents have the chance to explore different parts of the Biola community. You'll spend time checking out classes, meeting and chatting with students and faculty, worshiping at a weekly praise chapel, and touring the campus.

The event also includes Admissions and Financial Aid sessions where you can get your questions answered. Students are invited to spend the night in a residence hall.

The cost of Spring Preview Day is $25 per student and $20 per parent. If you have any questions, please contact our office at (562) 944-0351 x5353.

Students interested in enrolling in the Torrey Honors program may register for the Honors Luncheon by calling 562-906-4555 or by sending an email to torrey.honors@biola.edu.
