Biola’s Cost of Attendance
The cost of attendance is a measure whereby Biola University follows federal and state regulations to establish the maximum amount of financial aid a student can receive. The cost of attendance is determined for each academic year based on the student's program of study, academic credit load, and in some cases, housing status. Please note that the cost of attendance will differ, sometimes significantly, from a student's account balance. To determine a student account balance, students should visit myaccount.biola.edu. Students with questions regarding their balance can contact the Biola Student Accounts team at student.accounts@biola.edu.
The following costs of attendance are based on a student enrolling full time or at the recommended enrollment load for the program of study based on Biola University enrollment status definitions determined by the Office of the Registrar.
