To continue with the Orientation reservation process, please complete the following steps:

  • Students must activate their BUnetID and set a password to complete the registration process for Orientation. If you haven't done this, please go to http://newaccounts.bradley.edu as soon as possible. Information you will need to complete this process was provided in a letter in your Orientation Packet.  
  • Students will also need to opt in or out of the Forewarn Emergency Text Messaging system on their MyBU site, then return to this site to register for Orientation.

STEP 2

We encourage you to visit the following websites for more in-depth details regarding Orientation. These details will help you in your registration process.

STEP 3

  • Before logging in to register, talk with your family about who is coming with you! If you have not already selected an orientation session, also discuss what dates work best for you--refer to the list above for available dates.  Once you begin the registration process, we will ask you for this information.
  • After 30 minutes of inactivity on any registration page, the system will log you out.

STEP 4
