SDSU Counseling & Psychological Services

Bounce Back Retention Program Participant Information

We meet with small groups of students on academic probation. We meet once a week for 50 minutes for 15 weeks throughout the semester. Using a resilience-based approach, we teach various academic skills such as time management, test taking, and study skills. Working experientially, we teach how to increase resilience by strengthening the ability to bounce back from adversity.

Additionally, each small group has the opportunity to work with a peer resilience coach for additional support, guidance and motivation.

Students who participate in the Bounce Back retention program are less likely to be disqualified than students who choose to not participate.

Bounce Back is offered for 1 unit of course credit. All Bounce Back class assignments and attendance standards must be satisfied.

Session options: Mondays at 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm, Tuesdays at 9:30 am, Wednesdays at noon, Thursdays at 3:30 pm, or Fridays at 10:00 am.

Location: Counseling and Psychological Services, Calpulli Center, Suite 4401 (same building where Student Health Services is located).

Bounce Back classes start the first official day of classes each semester.

Registration for Bounce Back is the same as registration for all other SDSU classes, via the Web Portal at the designated day/time assigned to each student for registration.

You will ONLY need an add code if you attempt to register AFTER the first day of classes.

Program evaluation

Participants need to complete the program evaluation form, which is required along with other course assignments to receive class credit.
