Rebound Opportunity

Welcome to the Rebound opportunity. Let's Get Started.

Rebound is a retention and academic recovery opportunity for diploma or certificate students with an end of term GPA (TGPA) that requires withdrawal from their program, as per Academic Regulations progression requirements.

With Rebound, students have the opportunity to stay enrolled at the college by taking the General Arts and Science - College Transfer certificate or the General Arts and Science – Technology certificate. Participating in Rebound is an opportunity to increase your GPA and prepare you with the skills and strategies to set you up for success in a a program of their choice.

Diploma and College Certificate students who achieve 60% or higher after one semester may be eligible to return to their home program.
