Tutors are available in most subjects. Any High Point University student is eligible to receive tutoring for any course free of charge. A tutoring session is generally for the purpose of reviewing difficult material and clarifying ideas, not an opportunity for the tutor to provide assistance on material to be marked for a grade. The tutor's role is to provide constructive feedback based on specific questions and goals brought to a tutoring session by the student.

Students experiencing academic difficulty may make an appointment with the Director or Assistant Director for personal academic counseling. The center provides a number of computers for student use. The ASC provides the opportunity for students to type papers and conduct research on the internet. Programs are in a number of categories in study skills, test anxiety, reading, and other areas.
