Academic Resources

We want to help you go beyond. So, if you need a little extra help, we have many resources in place to assist you. The services are free.

Students who use the academic resources find them helpful in many ways.

Curt Barner, a health and physical education major from Kane, Pa., said, “It is extremely comforting to know the ACTC, Math Center, Writing Center and many other services are available for any questions or concerns I develop. These services are probably my favorite feature of UPB.” 

For Tracy Dang, an exercise science major from Malvern, Pa., “The ACTC has definitely helped me emotionally and mentally. They made me see things from multiple different perspectives. They helped guide me onto the right path and I am very grateful that they were there when I needed help.”
