The Academic Ombudsman, a faculty member to whom students may bring complaints about teaching, operates under the following conditions. The Ombudsman will have a mainly communicative function. If the student desires, after the student discusses the complaint with the Ombudsman the Ombudsman will communicate the nature of the complaint to the instructor involved. Then, if the student thinks an insufficient corrective effort has been made, the student may discuss the matter with the Ombudsman and request that the complaint be forwarded to the instructor’s chair or director.

The Ombudsman will regard all information received by virtue of this position as absolutely confidential, except as provided in this statement.

Students who do not choose to use the services of the Ombudsman can use the process of administrative appeal, starting first with the instructor, then the instructor’s chairperson or director, then the dean, and finally the Academic Grievance Committee. Complaints should be resolved at the lowest possible level.

The Academic Review Board is authorized to act upon petitions for reinstatement of undergraduate students dismissed for poor scholarship. This board also considers petitions for other academic irregularities.

Scholastic Dismissal

A student enrolled on probation who does not achieve either a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or a semester GPA of 2.25 at the end of the semester will be dismissed.

Once dismissed, the student will not be allowed to attend any class offered by Bradley University for college credit, including any interim or summer session, without reinstatement by the Academic Review Board. A student’s enrollment in summer school or interim session will be canceled as a result of academic dismissal.

Petitions for Scholastic Reinstatement

Any student dismissed for poor scholarship has the right of appeal for reinstatement. A student should not expect to be reinstated until after one full regular semester has intervened. Petitions for reinstatement should be directed to the Academic Review Board.

Academic Forgiveness Policy

To qualify for the Academic Forgiveness Policy, students must not have been enrolled in a Bradley degree program for at least five years. Persons who wish to be readmitted to Bradley University under the Academic Forgiveness Policy must petition the Academic Review Board and request forgiveness of previous grades earned at Bradley. If the petition is approved, grades for all Bradley courses taken before the hiatus of five or more years will be removed from the GPA calculation. Students will retain credit for those courses with grades of “C” or better, whether the credit was taken in residence at Bradley or from another source. The forgiven grades shall not count in determining the student’s gradepoint average for academic probation or dismissal or for graduation; however, they shall remain on the transcript with an appropriate notation, and shall be used in determining graduation honors.

Forgiveness is a one-time option which is final and irreversible once granted. This regulation became effective beginning with the first semester of the 1987-88 academic year.

It won’t be long before you find yourself in the Library looking through magazines in the browsing area or doing research for a term paper. The Library's online catalog and circulation system incorporates Bradley’s holdings and those of 99 other academic libraries in Illinois. The Library provides access to a wide variety of electronic journal indexes and abstracts, and to several full text databases.

The Library carries a wide assortment of books and periodicals. Recently, films from the Student Foreign Film and Art Society have been added to the circulating collection. Tapes and music scores are located in the Music Resource Collection on the third level of the Library.

If the Library doesn’t have the book or journal article you need, ask for an interlibrary loan. The item can probably be borrowed from one of over 6,000 cooperating libraries in the U.S. and abroad. Allow at least two weeks for delivery. This is a good reason to start your work early. Your Bradley I.D. serves as your library card not only at the Bradley University Library but also at local area libraries. In order to borrow materials from the Bradley Library and any library that shares the Bradley online circulation system, students must either register or update registration each semester at the Bradley Library. To do so, present a currently validated I.D. to Bradley Library Circulation Desk personnel.

The Library provides seating for 1000 students. Snack foods and beverages are permitted in the Break Room and some other areas, but not near computers, in the Music Resource Center or in Special Collection Center.
