Catalog Year Policy

Students are automatically assigned to the catalog active during their first semester of enrollment. Students departing the university for one academic year (3 consecutive terms, e.g., fall, spring, summer) or longer will be required to follow the current catalog at the time of their readmission.

Students finishing degree requirements with classes being taken outside Biola and that are away for less than one academic year will return under the catalog they were enrolled in at the time of departure.

Students may request to change to any subsequent catalog year in which coursework was completed by submitting the Student Catalog Year Change form by applicable deadlines. Once the Office of the Registrar has approved catalog year change requests, students are subject to all curricular requirements of the newly designated catalog year.
