The Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act requires that colleges and universities receiving federal funds publish campus security policies, crime prevention programs, and specific campus crime statistics on a yearly basis. This information is available to employees and applicants for employment upon request.
When a serious crime occurs on the Biola campus, the campus community will be notified within a reasonable amount of time by one or more of the following methods: Campus Safety Alert Notices, posted at all common building entry points; The Chimes; Inside Story; and/or e-mail. In addition, all related policies and statistics are available at the Campus Safety Administrative Office.
The Campus Safety Crime Report Log is available for inspection at the Campus Safety Administrative Office on a daily basis. The daily log will list all crimes that have occurred on university property during the previous 2 days (48 hours).

Employees may not possess other weapons such as a dirk, dagger, ice pick, or knife having a fixed blade longer than 2 1/2 inches on their person, property, or vehicle while on campus. California Penal Code Section 626.10 (b) states, "If any person without prior permission of the President of the University, or his or her designee, brings or possesses a dirk, dagger, ice pick, or knife having a fixed blade longer than 2 1/2 inches, to a public or private college or university, they are guilty of public offense, punishable by imprisonment in a county jail, or state prison."
