Student Requirements
ALL STUDENTS:
Attend at least one summer program. The summer program between students' eleventh and twelfth grade years is MANDATORY.
Attend Saturday campus programs at the University Park campus using the transportation provided. Students who are unable to attend a Saturday program because of a mandatory school-related activity should contact the Upward Bound director in advance. Students who are absent because of illness or another unavoidable situation should have their parent/guardian contact the Upward Bound director before 5p.m. in the afternoon of the scheduled Saturday Program. PLEASE NOTE: Only one unexcused absence from a Saturday program is permitted each year.
Attend coordinator meetings at your high school. Let your coordinator know in advance if you are unable to attend and why.
Maintain grades C or better in your academic courses (English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Foreign Languages). If you are receiving a D or lower, you will be expected to work with your school's UB coordinator to arrange for tutoring. Also, complete and return all tutoring forms before the stated deadlines.
Notify the UB office at 1-800-475-4039 or e-mail a UB staff member if your address, telephone number, and/or e-mail address changes.
