Commuter FAQ

Is there a commuter lounge?
Better than a lounge, The Collegium is a home-away-from-home with a full kitchen, food bar, computers, printing, wireless, and super comfy furniture. Located in the Upper SUB it is also central to campus and has a great community vibe. Just $55/semester or $90 for a full-year membership!

Where Can I Put My Stuff?
There are lockers available located around the Student Union Building. Reserve lockers at front desk of Collegium in the Upper SUB. Locker reservations for the 2012-2013 school year will begin on Wed, Aug 29, at the Collegium in the Upper SUB. We will be taking in-person locker reservations only. Please bring a current Student I.D. They'll be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Where Do I Park?
Commuters can park in any unlabeled space in all lots except D (visitors/employees) or F (employees). There are no lots reserved for resident students only. All vehicles parking on Biola property must have Biola parking permits. For more information, check the Biola Campus Safety site.

Where can a commuter find a fridge or microwave?
The most accessible refrigerator requires membership in The Collegium, located in the upper SUB above Common Grounds. There are two microwaves in the Collegium, as well as several in the Eagles' Nest and the Library snack area.
