Subpart B_What Kinds of Projects and Services Does the Secretary Assist 

                           Under This Program?

 

Sec. 645.12  How are regular Upward Bound projects organized?



    (a) Regular Upward Bound projects--

    (1) Must provide participants with a summer instructional component 

that is designed to simulate a college-going experience for 

participants, and an academic year component; and

    (2) May provide a summer bridge component to those Upward Bound 

participants who have graduated from secondary school and intend to 

enroll in an institution of higher education in the following fall term. 

A summer bridge component provides participants with services and 

activities, including college courses, that aid in the transition from 

secondary education to postsecondary education.

    (b) A summer instructional component shall--

    (1) Be six weeks in length unless the grantee can demonstrate to the 

Secretary that a shorter period will not hinder the effectiveness of the 

project nor prevent the project from achieving

its goals and objectives, and the Secretary approves that shorter 

period; and

    (2) Provide participants with one or more of the services described 

in Sec. 645.11 at least five days per week.

    (c)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(2) of this section, an 

academic year component shall provide program participants with one or 

more of the services described in Sec. 645.11 on a weekly basis 

throughout the academic year and, to the extent possible, shall not 

prevent participants from fully participating in academic and 

nonacademic activities at the participants' secondary school.

    (2) If an Upward Bound project's location or the project's staff are 

not readily accessible to participants because of distance or lack of 

transportation, the grantee may, with the Secretary's permission, 

provide project services to participants every two weeks during the 

academic year.
