Deposits and Payment

One-Time Deposits

Upon admission to Biola, a $300 Enrollment Deposit and a $250 Housing Deposit are required to secure a space for you in the incoming class.

These deposits will be refunded when you graduate or terminate enrollment. The housing deposit will also be refunded if you move off campus while still enrolled.

Payment Information

Biola offers three payment plans to choose from in paying for your expenses. You can select one of these plans during registration, when the down payment for your first semester is due.

Payment Plan 1

Pay in full at registration. With this plan, all outstanding charges for the semester are paid on or before registration.

Payment Plan 2

60% down payment at registration with balance paid by first payment date. The first payment date is October 15 for the fall semester and March 15 for the spring semester.

Down payment includes 60% of the balance of tuition, room and board, class fees, and vehicle registration, less confirmed financial aid, plus 100% of insurance charges. No finance charges are assessed.

Payment Plan 3

60% down payment at registration with balance paid in three equal monthly payments. The payment dates are the 15th of October, November, and December for the fall semester and the 15th of March, April, and May for the spring semester.

Down payment includes 60% of the balance of tuition, room and board, class fees, and vehicle registration, less confirmed financial aid, plus 100% of insurance charges. With this plan, a 1.5% finance charge of the first $1000 and 1% of any additional amount over $1,000 is added to each billing statement.

"The most valuable thing I will take from Biola into my classroom will be my mindset, beliefs, and worldview. I want to impact my students for Christ by praying for them and seeing them as children of God. Biola has shown me I'm not just a teacher, but a guiding light of truth in the education system."

– Rosa, Elementary Education
