Students will also have the opportunity to work with "Upswing"! We've partnered with Upswing to add ease and simplicity to such processes as learning, grading, communicating, and academic development. Upswing gives our program participants, advisors, tutors, and other contributors a unique platform to work together on in an effective, and exciting way! If you're interested in learning more about Upswing now, feel free to visit their website for more details!

Our program administrators are looking forward to incorporating a convenient tool called "Parchment"! With Parchment, we are better able to work with student record and transcript reception. Parchment allows our Upward Bound advisors and staff to send and receive student transcripts and other academic documents. We are in the process of setting Parchment up for use within our program, but if you'd like to get a head start in learning all about how Parchment will simplify document management for our students and staff, visit https://www.parchment.com/ for more information!

All of the above services are FREE to program participants!
