H.E.L.P

Appalachian Bible College Student Studying

Each student is unique and capable of success. The H.E.L.P. program at Appalachian Bible College offers you personalized care, enabling you to learn and maximize your potential.

H.E.L.P. stands for How to Expand Learning Proficiency. This academic assistance program consists of special testing, tutoring and counseling that can provide you with individualized attention and advice.

Voluntary Enrollment

Some students seek assistance on their own. For example:

  • Students who did well in high school but find the transition to college more challenging than they anticipated
  • Newly married students
  • Students with special social or academic needs
  • International students

  • Current students with low GPAs
