Orientation

STEP 3: Register for Your Orientation Session

Remember, in order to sign up for a session you may need to wait up to 24 hours after BUnetID and Password activation. Before registering for an orientation session, talk with the up to four guests who can come with you, and discuss the session that works best for everyone.

You can make changes in the reservation system Bradley Bound Page, up to one week prior to your assigned session. Within one week, you will need to contact the orientation office for any changes.

STEP 4: Accessing Math and World Language Assessments

All students are required to complete their first attempt of the math assessment within one week of their orientation session. Students will have access to the math assessment 24-48 hours after they have registered for an orientation session. Students who studied a foreign language in high school or at another college or university and who wish to continue studying the same language at Bradley University must take a placement test before enrolling in a language course. Click either “Math Assessment” or “World Language Assessment” below to review the full information, which includes where both assessments are located and how to access them. Below are some quick details about both assessments.

Math Assessment

• All students, even those with AP, Dual or IB credit, are required to take the math assessment.
• Even if you are taking a math course currently that would boost your score later, you are encouraged to complete the math assessment ASAP. If you are in Calculus now, you should place around the Calculus level. If you don’t, the prep and learning module could not only assist your score at Bradley, but also help you with the course you are taking now!
• Students are able to retake the math test up to three times
• The math assessment can be accessed through the Canvas course site Starting Off Fall 2024. Please click on the “Math Assessment” link for instructions on how to access the Canvas course Starting Off.
• Within 48 hours of registering for a session you will be eligible to take the math assessment starting March 15.

World Language Assessment

• Bradley currently offers an online language assessment in French, Spanish and Chinese. If you've studied a language before, you cannot enroll in a class without a placement score.
• While language coursework is required for the Bachelor of Arts degree, and some Bradley majors, not all students are required to complete language coursework.
• If you are interested in language courses it is best to take them sooner rather than later.
• Please click on the “World Language Assessment” link above for more information and directions for taking the test.

STEP 5: Student Health Form

Illinois State Law requires that students have a completed health form on file with Health Services. A doctor's physical is not required. Access and download the updated Health Form here. The health form should be completed and returned to Bradley Health Services, or brought with you when you come to campus. For questions on the health form please contact (309) 677-2700 or bradleyhealthservices@bradley.edu
