Spring Orientation

The vast majority of the students who begin taking classes during the winter are transfer students, though it is certainly not uncommon for a first-year student to start then either. If you are starting Union as a new student this spring, please contact Karen Taylor (ktaylor@uu.edu) in the Office of Student Leadership & Engagement to set up a time for a individual orientation meeting. During this meeting, you will receive information about campus life and she will answer any questions that you might have.

Also, before you come to campus in February, please make sure you look over and complete these necessary forms.
