Navigate
Bradley University has partnered with EAB to enhance student success through the Navigate360 application. This platform aims to improve retention and graduation rates on college campuses, including Bradley University.
Navigate360 combines technology, research, and predictive analytics to help instructors, advisors and administrators promote student degree completion and life success. The platform provides advisors and other pertinent departments with a software system that allows them to identify students who may need additional support. Students benefit from a coordinated and consistent platform to access academic advising and other student services.

Bradley ALEKS Math Placement Assessment
Bradley University requires an ALEKS Placement, Preparation and Learning (ALEKS PPL) Assessment to determine readiness for mathematics courses. All incoming first-year students are required to take the mathematics assessment, including students who have or will be receiving AP or transfer credit. Students can take the exam at a time that is convenient and should take 60 – 90 minutes to complete. Our goal is to give the best academic advice for mathematics placement for all students. The ALEKS Assessment MUST be completed as soon as possible. A hold will be placed on your account until you have completed the assessment, which will prevent you from registering for classes. Students who have questions about the assessment at any time should contact [email protected]. Success in math starts with taking the right course. It is important that you are placed in the appropriate math course so you do not waste time and money in courses that you are over- or under-qualified for. Students have additional placement assessment opportunities; therefore, students should take the math assessment as soon as it becomes available. If you would like to try to place higher, ALEKS offers an individualized Prep and Learning Module which can lead to higher placement prior to class registration.
Accommodations
Extended time accommodation is built into the placement assessment. Students who require vision accommodations for using the JAWS2019 reader should contact the Office of Student Access Services at [email protected].
Follow the steps below before beginning the process of taking your assessment.
