Academic Success Center
The Academic Success Center strengthens comprehensive learning, enhances retention, and promotes student success by providing academic support services to Bradley students. The programs provided include:
University Program
The University Program helps students get started at Bradley on the right track by ensuring appropriate academic advisement and goal-setting for major(s) of interest. Students in University Program majors will be assigned an advisor in their college or a professional advisor and will spend time outside of their traditional classes working toward developing habits that enhance academic success and identifying major options that align with students’ interests, skills, and goals.
Academic Exploration Program
The Academic Exploration Program (AEP) helps students with undecided majors and undeclared majors (exploratory students) identify and pursue their academic and professional goals.
Through a combination of instruction, reflection and exposure, students gain the experience and confidence to declare a major and succeed professionally. The key to success in the Academic Exploration Program rests with the student-academic advisor relationship. Each student in AEP is assigned an advisor, with whom they will spend time in the classroom and in one-on-one advising within the first semester. The award-winning academic advisement in AEP is integrated throughout the AEP curriculum and helps students select the major and career path that's best for them through the lens of whole student development.
Tutoring
Bradley undergraduate students qualify for one hour of free one-on-one peer tutoring per subject, per day. Free drop-in tutoring is also provided for select courses each semester. Check the ASC website for a specific list.
Turning Point Retention Program
Many students experience some form of academic difficulty during their college career. At Bradley, students whose difficulty has resulted in academic probation are required to participate in the Turning Point Program (TPP). The Turning Point Program's mission is to assist first-time probation students as they work to regain good academic standing. Program participants meet with TPP staff and create and accomplish a plan for the semester that may include the Learning Enhancement Strategies Seminar (AEP 115), weekly accountability meetings, or connections to other campus resources.
Academic Coaching
Students experiencing challenges that are causing academic difficulty (poor time management, test anxiety or inadequate test-taking strategies, low reading comprehension, etc.) can meet with an ASC staff member to create a learning improvement plan and to identify strategies to improve their likelihood of academic success.
AEP 115: Learning Enhancement Strategies Seminar
The Learning Enhancement Seminar (AEP 115) is for University program students to ensure they have the college-level study skills necessary to be successful at Bradley and to help explore a broader set of major options. Topics include self-regulation, time management, note taking, test taking, textbook reading, and goal setting.
This is the official catalog for the 2017-2018 academic year. This catalog serves as a contract between a student and Bradley University. Should changes in a program of study become necessary prior to the next academic year every effort will be made to keep students advised of any such changes via the Dean of the College or Chair of the Department concerned, the Registrar's Office, u.Achieve degree audit system, and the Schedule of Classes. It is the responsibility of each student to be aware of the current program and graduation requirements for particular degree programs.
