All residents must check in during the Fall semester check-in period and when they return for either Interterm or Spring semester. Failure to properly check-in, or checking-in after the Housing Claim Deadline, will result in a $100.00 fine.

Students who have not checked in to their Housing Assignment by Noon on the Housing Claim Deadline must first check with the Housing Manager in the Housing Office, Student Services Building to determine if their assignment has been changed (562-944-0351, extension 5838).

If you know you will not be able to claim your Housing Assignment by the Claim Deadline, you must notify the Housing Office in writing or via e-mail before the Housing Claim Deadline to have your space saved and/or to avoid late check-in fines.

Students with signed Housing Contracts who do not claim their Housing Assignment by the Housing Claim Deadline will forfeit their Housing Deposit and pay one month’s prorated “No Show” housing charge. If you know you will not be coming to or returning to Biola, notify the Housing Office in writing prior to the relevant Housing Claim Deadline date. Do not rely on any other office, department or personnel to inform the Housing Office for you!

Residents who do not complete Registration by the final date of Late Registration either semester (see IMPORTANT DATES) will be required to move out of their room/apartment and remove all their belongings from campus within 24 hours of the final date of Late Registration. Such unregistered students may not use "guest nights" to prolong their stay on campus (see VISITORS).
