One-on-One Academic Advising
Counselors meet with UB Classic participants to review their transcripts to make sure that they are taking the classes that will fulfill the A-G requirements set by the University of California and the California State University systems. Counselors also remind participants about important deadlines (SAT/ACT, college admissions, financial aid, etc.), and offer assistance when parents/participants fill out college admission and financial aid forms.
College Campus Visits
During the academic year, participants tour colleges in and around Southern California. Most tours also include a presentation where college students share their experiences.
California College Tour
In the summer, a select group of participants go on a three-day trip through Northern California for college tours and cultural activities. UB Classic provides transportation, food, lodging and any fees associated with the trip.
Cultural Activities
Participants take field trips to Sea World, Knott's Berry Farm and other attractions around Southern California. Transportation and expenses are covered.
Saturday Sessions
One Saturday each month, participants are bused from their high school to UC Riverside for classes in the morning and enrichment activities in the afternoon. Breakfast and lunch are provided.
Summer Program
UB Classic's summer session is an intensive six-week program that lets participants experience college life. For four weeks, participants are bused from their high schools to UC Riverside, Monday through Thursday, for class. Fridays are reserved for activities and field trips. During the last two weeks, participants take academic enrichment courses. A stipend is provided to program participants.
After School Tutoring/Study Hall
UC Riverside college students provide free tutoring after school several times a week at all participating high schools.
