Veterans Upward Bound is not only committed to helping you get back into the classroom, but ensure success once you are there. We offer in-person tutoring on the OTC campus for participants, but there are many online resources you can take advantage of as well. We provide monthly workshops and will make any workshop materials available on our Canvas site for participants.
Refresher Courses and Tutoring
All VUB participants are invited to participate in refresher courses or one-on-one tutoring, led by our tutors. VUB offers refresher courses in Math and English, but can also offer classes in computer skills, science, communication, economics, history, and others by request. Refresher courses are self-paced, individualized courses under the instruction of a tutor. Participants are given an assessment to determine their skill level and the tutor works with them to continue to build their skills around a specific curriculum, built around the requirements of their planned degree program. Refresher courses are not meant to replace required courses within a degree program, but to develop the skills needed for success to enter the required courses. Refresher courses aim to reduce the time and money spent on remedial or developmental classes that may not count toward your degree program.
One-on-one tutoring is also available for participants who want to focus on specific subjects, outside of what a refresher course offers.
Tutoring and refresher courses are offered in-person, by Zoom appointment, virtually, or a hybrid option.
Academic Lab
The academic lab is available to all VUB participants. The lab can be used for studying, questions about homework, tutoring, academic assessment, and more. The lab offers free printing and staff assistance.
