Student Notices

Prescription medications must be left with the Upward Bound Residential Health Care and Administrative Assistant to ensure personal compliance and security.

It is not recommended that you bring large TV sets, or gaming systems.  Earbuds/headphones are allowed but students are responsible for their own belongings.  (NOTE: In the past, these expensive items have been lost, stolen, or damaged, so do not bring anything that cannot be easily replaced.).  Upward Bound reserves the right to confiscate items if necessary.

STUDENT ARRIVAL: Upward Bound Summer Session participants will be checking into the residence hall the afternoon of June 23rd, 2024.  Upward Bound can assist with transportation to UWSP, if necessary.  If anyone other than a parent/guardian or Upward Bound staff member will be bringing an Upward Bound student to UWSP on June 23rd, a Permission Slip for Personal Vehicle must be submitted prior to June 23rd.

Date: June 23rd, 2024

Time: 1:00 – 3:00 PM

Location: Hansen Hall, 409 Isadore St.,  Stevens Point, WI 54481    

If you experience transportation problems or cannot make your assigned check-in time on June 23rd, please call 715-346-3337, option 2, to let us know. Upon arrival at the UWSP campus, please park your vehicle in Lot P located on Isadore Street (see enclosed map).    Please do not unload your vehicle. Check-in starts in the Hansen Hall lobby (#70 on map).

Next, students and a parent/guardian will proceed to the Health Office to review health forms and collect any medications brought to campus. Please make sure that all medications are brought in their original containers. Students will not be allowed to keep any over the counter (OTC) medications so please keep those at home. The Health Office will keep a supply of OTCs on hand for student use when needed. The Health Care staff members will dispense all prescription and OTC medications to students as indicated on their prescription labels.

Once students have cleared through the Health Office and turned in medications, they will proceed to the front desk to pick up their room key. At this point, students can begin to bring their personal belongings into their assigned residence hall room. Staff will be on hand with carts to help families move belongings from vehicles parked in Lot P into Hansen Hall and the students’ rooms.

Once students have settled into their assigned residence hall room, we ask that families say their good-byes. Staff will then take over and direct students to the basement to pick up their backpack/books and to participate in group activities.

July 4 – 7  Holiday Break: The residence hall will close for a break from 4 PM on Wednesday, July 3rd through 4:00 PM on Sunday, July 7th. Upward Bound can provide transportation home for a limited number of students on Friday (7/3), if needed.

The residence hall will reopen at 4:00 PM on Sunday, July 7th.  Upward Bound may be able to assist a limited number of students with transportation back to campus on July 7th with advanced notice.

STUDENT DEPARTURE: Unless selected for participation on the Honors Trip, students will have the option of being picked-up by their parent/guardian, designated family member or transported home by the Upward Bound Program staff on July 25th.  Honors fieldtrip students will not be returning home until Sunday, July 28th.
