Participants must notify the staff of absences in advance regarding conflicting school activities or family responsibilities.

Excessive unexcused absences may result in your dismissal from the program.

Ask a staff member if you are unsure about what to wear. REMEMBER: Your clothing choices reflect on you as well as Upward Bound! Upward Bound staff will make the final decision about the appropriateness of students’ dress.
