Admitted Student Day
March 25, 2013
So you’ve been accepted to Biola. Congratulations!
What’s next? It’s decision time, and we want to help you make that decision. On Monday, March 25, we'll be hosting a day specifically for students like you, that have submitted their application and have been accepted to Biola! We want to provide you with an opportunity to get your final questions answered, meet with Academic Departments, take one last tour around campus, catch a glimpse of your favorite dorms, and much, much more. You can stop by The Collegium if you’re planning on living off campus. You can go to a Q & A Session with Biola’s renowned Torrey Honors Institute. You can even go to Chapel and attend classes.
If you decide you want to come to Biola, you can submit your enrollment deposit the day of the event! Once you’ve submitted, you can even get your Biola Student ID Card printed to take home with you (make sure to bring a valid government ID). Top it off with your favorite piece of Biola apparel from the bookstore and consider yourself one of us! We want to help you get your questions answered and event will do just that.
