ATTENTION UB Students

All Upward Bound Students are required to maintain a B or higher in all of their core subjects. We check grades every 9 weeks to verify and determine stipend amounts.  If grades are C or below in core subjects, you may be required to attend tutoring that will be set up by Upward Bound (if your school has a before/after school tutoring program we will use this, if not, we will pay for a tutor to assist you until your grade improves.) If grades continue to decline, you may be placed on academic probation or exited from the program.

If you are struggling in a core subject, you may contact us  to set up tutoring for you. We always commend students for being pro-active!
Tutoring Services
If you are in need of a tutor, please contact the Upward Bound office or inform your school site person. Tutoring is free of charge to you as an Upward Bound student..

ACT PRACTICE

Notice
All students are required to attend school site visits individual academic sessions, and Saturday Seminars.  Only school functions and activities are considered excused absences.  You must notify staff prior to seminar! Sickness will be considered on a case by case assessment. Students are only allowed 3 unexcused absences before being removed from the program and $5 will be deducted from your stipend for each unexcused absence. You may be dismissed after 3 unexcused absences.

*Students must attend and stay  for the entire visit or seminar unless excused by UB staff.-Failure to do so will result in forfeiture of stipend.

*Students who do not attend a Saturday seminar and are excused will need to complete an alternative assignment before they will receive their stipend. This is in addition to having to have a note from a school sponsor turned into the UB office no later than 14 days from missed seminar. Students are required to notify staff of absence prior to missed event!
