Mentoring is free for UTPB freshmen who request it.

These mentors fill the role of big brother or big sister on campus and mix weekly academic assistance with monthly social activities.

UTPB was founded as an upper-level institution, and this University continues to welcome and accommodate older and non-traditional students. We offer numerous evening classes, online classes, and a study room for veterans. The Student Multipurpose Center under construction will also house a day care center.  There are even scholarships for non-traditional students.

The primed, steel columns and beams have risen quickly for the Student Multipurpose Center on campus. Already, the first floor slab is 98% complete, the decking for the second floor slab is on its way, and masonry on the elevator shaft has begun. This highly anticipated facility, for traditional and non-traditional students alike, will offer a dining room with a wide variety of items, childcare center, fitness center, meeting, and study rooms as well as offices for student organizations, a lounge, and external, shaded pavilion.
