Support Program for Students
on Academic Probation

Bradley University requires participation in the Turning Point Retention Program for students placed on academic probation for the first time, and for selected students who have been academically reinstated by the Academic Review Board. Once probation status is recognized at semester's end, students are automatically enrolled in the Turning Point Program, listed as AEP 115 section 10 on their course schedule.

The program begins with an individual assessment of each student's academic needs. Further referral to an appropriate training program may be offered. Individual and group academic support is provided for enrolled students through weekly meetings. Participation in the weekly meetings offers encouragement for changing study habits and practical life-skills needed to cope at the university and professional level. Topics covered include time management, test anxiety, learning styles, procrastination, motivation, stress, and success.
