All students are expected to be present and on time to all classes and program activities. The University of Georgia Upward Bound Program determines absences on the basis of the U.S. Department of Education standards and program policy. Students are expected to be prompt to class and meetings. Tardiness results in unnecessary interruptions, delays and distractions for other students in the room. Tardiness will result in disciplinary actions.
Students are to be seated up front, and ready to work at the scheduled time.
All work that is missed because of absence must be made up by the student. The school work must be made up within the time specified by the teacher in order to receive a passing grade for the work. It is the student's responsibility, with the help of the teacher to make up work. The staff, parents, community, students and The University of Georgia are working together to provide you with and prepare you for a future of success. Since it is the goal of the Upward Bound Program to assist students in preparing for post secondary education, it is important that students be enrolled in appropriate and challenging high school academic classes.
