The library and Centennial computer labs each contain 20 workstations and a laser printer connected to the campus network. A third lab, the Hensley lab, provides the same type of access with 17 computers.

The Academic Resource Center (ARC) provides free services to Union Commonwealth University students in several academic support areas.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.unionky.edu/Acad/SpecPrg/ARC.asp |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030224102746/http://www.unionky.edu/Acad/SpecPrg/ARC.asp |archive-date=2003-02-24 |title=Student Support Services at Union College - The Academic Resource Center}}</ref> Individual tutoring is available in a variety of subject areas in both upper and lower division classes. Students may work with a tutor to review for classes, refresh [[study skills]], or prepare for professional examinations such as GMAT, LSAT, MCAT, GRE, and NTE. Each semester, courses that have been deemed academically challenging are selected for [[Supplemental Instruction]] (SI). Students attend group study sessions, which are held a minimum of three times a week with a student leader who has already excelled in that particular course. The SI leaders model good study strategies and encourage collaborative learning.

The Sharp Academic Center is one of the primary classroom facilities on campus. Named for alumnus and Nobel Laureate [[Phillip Allen Sharp]], the Sharp Academic Center was added to a remodeled dormitory, providing classroom and office space. Currently, the offices include the Office of the President, the Office of the Academic Vice President, Student Support Services, the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences, and the Department of History.

The Ramsey Center is an additional classroom and laboratory space on campus. Named for [[Kenneth and Sarah Ramsey]], the center was remodeled from the former Knox County Hospital. This building houses the Department of Natural Sciences, the Psychology Department, and the Edna Jenkins Mann School of Nursing.
