Academic Rebound Services

The Academic Persistence Program at Wayne State University supports students in achieving academic success and degree completion. Focused on providing personalized resources and guidance, the Academic Persistence Program assists students facing academic challenges, helping them build resilience and develop skills essential for college success. The program’s goal is to promote sustained engagement and perseverance, empowering students to overcome obstacles, improve academic performance, and stay on track for graduation. Academic Persistence specialists provides Academic Rebound services which include collaboration with academic advisors, academic staff, University resources, and faculty to foster a supportive environment, ensuring students have the tools they need to thrive throughout their college journey.

Students utilizing Academic Rebound Services can expect: 

• Individualized Support: Each student will be paired with an Academic Persistence Specialist who will work closely with them to create a customized academic success plan. This plan will outline individualized academic goals, improvement strategies, and bolster their confidence in their academic capabilities. 

• Biweekly Check-ins: Our Academic Persistence Specialists will conduct regular check-in sessions with each student to monitor their progress towards their academic goals, provide guidance, and make necessary adjustments to their academic success plans. 

• Access to Resources: Students participating in the program will gain direct access to a number of academic support services such as: tutoring, supplemental instruction, study skills coaching, and success workshops, all aimed at enhancing their understanding of course materials and aiding them in navigating academic and non-academic challenges. 

• Collaboration with Staff: We intend to adopt a “support team” approach to each student’s rebound plan, working closely with advisors, success coaches, and other staff members to form a dedicated support network around the students. This collaborative effort ensures that students know they have an entire team dedicated to their success.
