Attendance Policy

If you have to miss a Saturday for any reason, you are required to make up the work from each class on Canvas. You will need to complete each classes' work by the following Wednesday at 11:59 PM. If you do not have access to the Internet please inform a staff member immediately. If you are absent for more than 5 Saturdays we will talk about exiting you from the program. 

Communication

If you are going to be absent, text, call in, or email staff members.  Do not wait until Saturday afternoon to communicate your absence.  Also, be respectful of UB staff; do not text or call after 10 pm or before 7 am.

You MUST communicate with us that you will not be here!
MESSAGE ABOUT RECRUITMENT 
Due to what’s going on right now recruitment will most likely operate a lot differently. We are still trying to get into the schools but with a split in the students, we won’t be able to inform all the target students. There is even a high chance we won’t be able to get into the school. So, we really need ya’ll’s help to make this year’s recruitment successful! If you have any ideas of how to reach students or ways to keep students engaged through zoom send a staff member a message. Also, if you know of someone who would be great for the program please be sure to pass along the information. Once we get everything set we will send ya’ll information, calendars, and marketing material.

The teachers will give you access to the link once in the class and you will use your student ID to sign-in and give your signature.

Changes to the Big Terry Scholarship 

The Terry Freshman Scholarship, known as the Terry Traditional Scholarship, is awarded to Texas high school seniors who have been accepted for admission to one of the Terry-affiliated public universities in Texas. This scholarship pays for a student's full tuition and housing. It is a great opportunity but it is highly competitive. 

Effective May 2020, the Terry Foundation will no longer offer transfer scholarships. All existing Terry Transfer Scholarships will be funded, and we look forward to supporting our Terry Transfer Scholars as they complete their degrees and pursue their goals.

Effective July 2020, the Terry Foundation will no longer fund NEW scholarships at Sam Houston State University and Texas A&M Galveston. All current SHSU and TAMUG Terry Scholars will continue to receive their funding, per the scholarship program’s guidelines.

Create a TRIO UB Club

Being a part of a club or organization is part of your UBjectives. We realize that it may be difficult for some students to join a new club this semester. To help students complete this UBjective a student can now create clubs in TRIO UB, which will count for the Organization UBjective. 

In order to start a club in TRIO UB students will need at least five interested members, an advisor, and to submit a request form. Staff will review each submission within 24 hours. 

Colleges NOT Requiring SAT Scores

There are over a thousand colleges across the US that have changed their approach to emphasizing standardized test scores. Since the coronavirus pandemic, many schools have actually updated their admissions policy to reflect the current challenges of taking the SATs and ACTs safely. To view a list of colleges that are not requiring the SAT or ACT scores click the button below.
