51ÂÜÀò

Specific orientation events such as Academic Orientation and Student Life Orientation are mandatory for new students, but all parts of orientation are an amazing opportunity to connect you with resources on campus and help you start to build a community that lasts a lifetime.

All new students – transfers and freshmen alike – should attend. We’ve created special events geared toward the needs and interests of transfer students, and we know that the information we share with you will ensure your success as a new student at 51ÂÜÀò.

Yes! Parents and families are welcome to come to New Student Orientation. Look for information about Parent and Family events on biola.edu/parent-relations.

All unmarked parking is open without a permit for new students and families throughout Orientation. If you are moving into campus housing, you will follow signs to park temporarily in front of your residence hall to unload, and then park in one of the two parking structures closest to your living area (either structure K or S). Commuters, we recommend you park in the parking structure S.

Email us at orientation@biola.edu. We respond to emails Monday-Friday.

If you have a question about housing, such as what items are allowed in my dorm room, you can contact housing at undergrad.housing@biola.edu.

51ÂÜÀò allows as a privilege to its students the use of skateboards, non-motorized scooters, roller skates and roller blades on campus, but only for the purpose of efficiency of movement around campus and only when operated in accordance with this policy and the safety rules outlined within. If you have have further questions about regulations, reach out to campus.safety@biola.edu.
