During the academic year, Upward Bound scholars receive weekly tutoring/homework help. Services are provided on the Lake Michigan College campus in classroom settings. Scholars are required to attend one, two-hour session of tutoring a week, to be arranged with the Academic Programs Counselor. If a scholar's grade drops to a "C" or below, the student will need to attend extra tutoring sessions, as arranged between the Upward Bound Staff and the scholar, until his or her grade rises above a "C" again.

Tutoring sessions are held in the following subjects, using the ACT retired tests as the text for study:

Mathematics

English Composition/Literature

English Foundations

Reading

Homework help follows tutoring sessions. Scholars are required to bring all materials (including textbooks, study guides, handouts, past tests/quizzes, syllabi, project sheets, etc.) to tutoring/homework help sessions.

Academic Prescriptions
In addition to tutoring and homework help, the Upward Bound Staff meets to discuss scholar progress, both in school and in tutoring. From these meetings, Staff create Academic Prescriptions for each scholar. These prescriptions let parents/guardians and scholars know where the scholar's strengths and weaknesses lie and what both the parent and the scholar can do to improve upon strengths and overcome weaknesses.
