Participants from the 2023 Financial Literacy Summit at Bridgewater State University who would like to take the free 3 credit graduate course should follow the directions below to create a profile in our BSU system with Graduate Admissions and formally register for the course as a non-degree student via the "Student Portal".
Step 1: Complete the Graduate Non-Degree Application
Students starting non-degree course(s) for the Summer 2023 term, should click here for the Graduate Non-Degree application (https://www.bridgew.edu/grad-non-degree).
If you’ve never entered our application portal, you’ll want to click on “Students without an Account” and click “Start a Non-Degree Application”.
Please contact Graduate Admissions (gradadmissions@bridgew.edu) with questions regarding the Graduate Non-Degree Application.
Step #2: Retrieve Your BEAR ID
Your BEAR ID is the 8-digit number emailed to you once your Graduate Non-Degree application has been processed by Graduate Admissions. You will need this to access many of the items below, so be sure to have it handy. If you have lost your acceptance letter or cannot remember it, the Office of Graduate Admissions can help. Write to GradAdmissions@bridgew.edu from the email address used to complete your Graduate Application for any help or questions during this step.
Step #3: Access and Use Your BSU Email account

To access your email, use the link provided in the communication sent from IT. You can also access your email on the student portal by clicking on email from the left navigation bar.
