• Online Orientation (Pre-Departure) + Canvas Modules
  • Students are invited to a virtual “Pre-Departure Orientation” hosted by your admissions counselors alongside GSPD on Wednesday, June 30 at 6 a.m. (PST). Get to know other global students, make sure you have everything you need before heading to Biola and learn more about what to expect from our in-person orientation experience. There will be a time for your questions to be answered by your admissions counselors as well as by members of GSPD. Sign Up for the Zoom link!
  • Every incoming global student will be granted access to a Global Student Orientation Canvas Module on July 1. These modules will be ‘asynchronous’ (at your own pace and time) and you will receive an email once they are finalized. These modules will have valuable information regarding your transition to Biola, so make sure to complete them BEFORE orientation.
