For questions regarding the meal plan, please visit https://bradley.campusdish.com/. Residential students are required to have a meal plan. If no meal plan is selected, your meal plan will default to the 14 Per Week meal plan. You can make changes to your meal plan beginning Aug. 18 - Sept. 1.

On Saturday, August 19, all traffic to campus will be diverted along N. University St to W. Bradley Ave (see above map). As you arrive on campus, you’ll be given a vehicle form to complete. You can fill out the form in advance, print it, and place it on your dashboard. Click here for the fillable pdf.
When you pull up to your residence hall, we’ll have helpers ready to get you unloaded and help move your items to your room. Once your car is unloaded, find a parking spot and enjoy the rest of the day.
You’re required to follow the move-in route as many streets surrounding campus will be closed and rerouted. Bradley Police will direct traffic to keep a steady flow. Please follow their lead.
