UB SERVICES @ YOUR HIGH SCHOOL
The Upward Bound Academic Advisors support and guide participants to pursue a postsecondary education. Academic advisement takes place through out the year at each of the LACC Upward Bound school sites. All students are advised to pursue the A-G requirements in order to be eligible for admissions to most four-year colleges and universities.
Academic Advisors meet with participants to inform them of college credit courses that will allow them to receive both high school and college credit. Students are also informed on volunteer and community service opportunities, and receive assistance with registering for the PSAT, ACT, and SAT. Advisors will also discuss current and future class schedules, academic performance, tutoring opportunities, and provide educational, personal, and career advising.

UB AFTER SCHOOL TUTORING Starting Monday, Monday 10, 2008 UB Advisors and tutors will be reinstating our After School Program. This program will be held once per week at each high school (see schedule below), and will incorporate tutors, the academic advisor assigned to that school, and UB director Michael Lopez. The program will include various activities geared toward colleges, academics and FUN. Each week there will be something different, from presentations by college professionals to games and food. In addition to the activity planned for the day, at least one tutor will be available to students who need help with their homework. Attendance will be MANDATORY for any student receiving a D or lower in any class, and optional to every UB participant with Cs or higher. Chrystina Smith-Rasshan, Maxine Estick or Drew Yamanishi will be checking to make sure that students with low grades or other "issues" are attending the After School program. This is another opportunity for all students to make weekly contact with their advisors and to have fun. Features of After School: Snacks, Games, Tutoring, Presentations, Workshops
