REBOUND Program

REBOUND: This intervention program is designed for first-year students who have completed their first semester with a GPA below 2.0. Participants engage in sessions throughout the semester, including discussions with leadership, advising meetings, developing a personalized plan, workshops, and exploring available resources. The acronym for the program is “REBOUND,” representing key steps: Retake classes, Engage in your purpose, Be intentional about attendance, Own your future, Understand what went wrong, Narrow your activities, and Determine that you will succeed.

Is the REBOUND Program Right for You?

The REBOUND Program is designed to support students who may be struggling academically and are ready to take actionable steps toward improving their performance. Ask yourself the following questions to see if REBOUND is a good fit for you:

  • Are you currently enrolled at Middle Tennessee State University?
  • Did you complete your first semester of freshman year with a GPA below 2.0?
  • Are you on academic probation?
  • Are you ready to commit to improving your academic standing and achieving success?

If you answered yes to these questions, the REBOUND Program is here to help! With personalized support, structured resources, and a dedicated team to guide you, REBOUND is your opportunity to turn things around and thrive at MTSU.

Take the first step toward a brighter future!
