Academic Success Center

About

The Academic Success Center (ASC), located on the third floor of the Cullom-Davis Library, brings together students, faculty and staff campus-wide to develop initiatives aimed at maximizing student potential. Resources such as tutoring, Supplemental Instruction, and academic coaching are centralized and delivered in a supportive environment that encourages students’ growth and development as learners.

The Academic Success Center is committed to empowering all Bradley students to achieve success by enhancing their lifelong learning skills in collaborative, inclusive, and supportive environments with peers and professionals.

Academic Services

Tutoring is a free, peer-based resource available to Bradley students. The tutoring program focuses on providing support for many 100 and 200 level STEM courses. We invest a great deal of time into the program to ensure our practices are compliant with the standards set by the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA). We work closely with the faculty across multiple academic departments to recruit tutors in subject areas where support is needed, and we contact students directly if they meet the criteria for an open position. Those messages are sent to your Bradley email if you fit the criteria for an opening at the time. We invite you to attend tutoring in the Academic Success Center on the third floor of the Cullom-Davis Library.

Through academic coaching, students can identify and address barriers to academic success. Academic coaching takes the form of one-on-one meetings with ASC staff members who will work with students to identify strategies and resources that can be used to be a more effective learner. Academic coaching appointments are collaborative and intended to help students identify and maximize their strengths.

Many students experience some form of academic difficulty during their college career. At Bradley, undergraduate students whose difficulty has resulted in first-time academic recovery are required to participate in the Turning Point Program (TPP). TPP’s mission is to assist first-time recovery students as they work to regain good academic standing.

Program participants will complete the following mandatory steps:

  • Participants will be automatically enrolled into AEP 115 10. Shortly thereafter, students will also be assigned to a specific TPP Coach when they are added to a specific lab section of AEP 115 (these sections are designated with letters on your schedule visible in MyBradley, for example “AEP 115 A”).
  • Complete an online course that explains academic recovery and TPP requirements in Canvas.
  • Attend a required meeting with your TPP Coach within the first two weeks of class. During this meeting, you will identify goals that you would like to set for the semester, and your TPP Coach will also determine how often you will meet throughout the semester.
  • Submit your semester grade goals early in the semester to your TPP Coach through your University email.
  • Submit your post-midterm grade report to your TPP Coach through your University email.
  • Attend two Student Success Workshops during the semester. The first workshop attendance will be required before midterm, and the second workshop attendance will be required before the end of the term. Workshops are held in-person in the Academic Success Center, which is located on the third floor of the Cullom-Davis Library.
  • Meet with your TPP Coach each time an appointment is requested or at any point you would like to discuss your progress, questions, or concerns.

At the end of the semester, you will receive a Pass or Fail grade for this 0-hour course based upon completion of the required components above. This grade will become part of your academic record, but it will not factor into your grade point average (GPA).

TPP Coaches are meant to be additional resources for you. They will help you identify areas for improvement and strategies for being a successful college student. We recognize that the circumstances that affect students’ academic performance vary from student to student, so it is important that you meet with your TPP Coach to identify the resources and tools that will best assist you in your academic recovery.
What does it mean to be on Recovery?

All students with a Bradley cumulative GPA below a 2.0 are placed on some form of recovery. Students in TPP must achieve a semester GPA of at least 2.25 or move their cumulative GPA to 2.0 or above to continue at Bradley. Please refer to the Undergraduate Scholastic Recovery, Dismissal, and Forgiveness Policies section of the Undergraduate Catalog for more details.
What happens if I am dismissed?

If you are dismissed, you must petition for reinstatement. Obtain a petition and get more information about reinstatement.

For more information regarding the Turning Point Program contact the Academic Success Center at (309) 677-2416 or [email protected].

The educational environment at Bradley is demanding, and developing good academic skills will result in academic success. From time management and goal setting, to test anxiety and preparing for exams, our workshops can help you establish strong habits that can enhance your learning and help you to balance the numerous demands of your varied coursework.

We also offer workshops and presentations in classes upon request from the instructor, pending staff availability to present during your requested time.

Please see the current term workshop schedule using the buttons to the right. Students must register to attend their chosen workshops. If faculty/staff require verification of attendance, please contact [email protected] with details.

Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a peer-led academic assistance program meant to improve students’ academic performance and increase retention. SI Leaders facilitate a peer-to-peer learning environment in weekly study sessions.

Supplemental Instruction is different from tutoring in that it is an interactive group learning environment where challenging materials are reviewed. It helps students develop study habits while getting to know their classmates. Supplemental Instruction is available for select classes. Schedules are subject to change, so please bookmark the schedule linked above. Supported courses are subject to change on a term-to-term basis.
