Welcome class of 2028!
We are happy to welcome you and up to four additional parents and/or supporters/siblings to your overnight session. Orientation registration is now open! Please refer to the tab “Available Sessions,” located below the picture of Bradley hall, to review your options. On your phone, across from “Orientation” tap onto the three black lines. All sessions are first come, first serve. The August session is primarily for international and domestic students coming from great distances and those local commuter students that cannot come to an earlier session. When a session reaches its capacity, it will be removed from the “Available Sessions” tab. The 2024 Orientation schedules will be available by May 31. In the meantime, you can view schedules from 2023 toward the top of the page. The 2024 schedules will be similar but not identical.
Welcome class of 2028!
We are happy to welcome you and up to four additional parents and/or supporters to your overnight session. Orientation registration is now open! Please refer to the tab “Available Sessions”, located below the picture of Bradley hall, to review sessions you can attend. On your phone, across from “Orientation” tap onto the three black lines. All sessions are first come, first serve. The August session has been primarily for international students, domestic students and families coming from great distances and those local commuter students that cannot come to an overnight session in June or July. When a session reaches its capacity, it will be removed from the “Available Sessions” tab. The 2024 Orientation schedules will be available by May 31. In the meantime, you can view schedules from 2023 toward the top of the page. The 2024 schedules will be similar but not identical.
To attend, each parent/guest/supporter is charged $135. The $135 fee includes three meals—one off campus dinner at a local steakhouse for parents/guests/supporters, breakfast with your student, and a lunch on campus. All families receive one tote bag, folder and materials throughout the program. Students do not pay any additional fees to attend. The funds collected from this program supplement the student program.
Please read through the step-by-step orientation registration process below:
A short 90 second tutorial video is available by clicking here. The orientation registration link will appear on your Bradley Bound Page within 24 hours of activating your BUnetID.
After your BUnetID and Password are activated, you MUST opt in or out of foreWarn by logging into your MyBradley account using your BUnetID and Password, click/tap onto “Other Resources” on the lower left side of the page or on your phone. Under “Resource Links”, at the top of the page, click/tap onto foreWarn. Please make sure after providing your domestic cell phone number, you click onto the “Update” button. Shortly after, you should receive a test text message from foreWarn. If you don’t please contact the IT Service Desk at (309) 677-2964.
Remember, in order to sign up for a session you may need to wait up to 24 hours after BUnetID and Password activation. Before registering for an orientation session, talk with the up to four guests who can come with you, and discuss the session that works best for everyone.
Once the registration link becomes available in your Bradley Bound Page, we will ask you to select an orientation session. You can make changes in the reservation system, located on your Bradley Bound Page, up to two weeks prior to your assigned session. Within two weeks, you will need to contact the orientation office for any changes.
Please review the remainder of this website for important information on the following:
Meals, staffing and needed materials are ordered in advance. A 72-hour cancellation notice BEFORE the assigned Orientation session begins is required for a refund. No refunds can be issued within 72 hours of your scheduled session.
All students are required to complete their first attempt of the math assessment by May 31. Students will have access to the math assessment 24-48 hours after they have registered for an orientation session. Students who studied a foreign language in high school or at another college or university and who wish to continue studying the same language at Bradley University must take a placement test before enrolling in a language course. Click either “Math Assessment” or “World Language Assessment” below to review the full information, which includes where both assessments are located and how to access them. Below are some quick details about both assessments.
Illinois State Law requires that students have a completed health form on file with Health Services. A doctor's physical is not required. Access and download the updated Health Form here. The health form should be completed and returned to Bradley Health Services, or brought with you when you come to campus. For questions on the health form please contact (309) 677-2700 or bradleyhealthservices@bradley.edu
