Parking
Biola Avenue would be easiest to access parking lots A and B. If you are going Northbound on Biola Avenue you will pass the main entrance on the right that will have an LED screen and yellow arms that come up and down to let people in. If you do turn in the area, there should be someone at the gatehouse to direct you to get to the lot. The next entrance on the right is where you will want to turn into for Parking Lot A. This entrance should be labeled Entrance 8. The gates should be open. If you are coming Southbound on Biola Avenue, then Entrance 8 will be on the left and will be the first turn you can make onto Biola’s campus. Any open spots are available for you to park in. If Lot A is full there is Lot B just on the other side of Sutherland Hall if you follow the road.
Here is a link to an interactive campus map that shows entrance numbers, Lot locations, and buildings: http://now.biola.edu/campus-maps/
Once you are at the Business Building you will go through the main doors that are sliding automatic doors. Walk toward the hallway and slight right. All the way down at the end of the hall past the restrooms will be the entrance to Business 109. All of our rooms are labeled with numbers and Business 109 will have an additional label that says Moats Lecture Hall. You will notice some main entrance doors right next to Business 109. These doors are usually locked but can be open from the inside.

Lodging
Unfortunately, on-campus lodging is not available.
Biola has a special rate at the nearby Holiday Inn. Visit this page https://www.biola.edu/about/location/accommodations to see special instructions and directions to the hotel.
