New Resource for Students who Have Been Incarcerated

Announced on: Monday, Mar. 11, 2024

Are you a Chico State student who has been incarcerated?

Chico State has a new student success center just for you called Chico State Project Rebound.

Check out the Chico State Project Rebound website to learn more about our program, to see if you are eligible, and to get the link to our on-line interest form https://www.csuchico.edu/sa/project-rebound/index.shtml . Once you fill out the form, a staff member will reach out to you to do a program intake.

Formerly incarcerated* students can stop by the Project Rebound drop-in center in Butte 111 Monday to Friday between 9am-5pm to fill out the Interest form, use the computer/printer, study, socialize, etc. (We are closed Wednesday 1-2pm for our staff meeting.) The drop-in center is also open to system impacted* students.

Project Rebound also helps currently incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people enroll at Chico State. If you have a friend or family member anywhere in California who is interested in attending Chico State, have them fill out the interest form on our website. if they are currently incarcerated, we can mail a hardcopy of the form to jail or prison)

Please also check out Rebound Scholars, the student club for formerly incarcerated and system impacted students and allies. The club meets on Thursdays from 5-6pm. The meeting is hybrid, in the Project Rebound drop-in center (Butte 111) and on Zoom (ID: 893 7442 4519. Passcode: rebound).

*We define formerly incarcerated and system-impacted using the definitions from the Underground Scholars Language Guide for Communicating About Those Involved in the Carceral System.

  • Formerly Incarcerated Person refers to anyone who has been in a carceral setting (prison, immigration detention centers, local jails, juvenile detention centers, etc.) and is now released.
  • System Impacted includes those who have been incarcerated, those with arrests/convictions but no incarceration and those who have been directly impacted by a loved one being incarcerated.
