New Student Orientation
Welcome to Union University! New Student Orientation is the next step in completing the process of becoming a Bulldog. Once you make a tuition deposit, you will receive an e-mail with details to register for orientation. Because there are a limited number of student spots for each orientation session, we highly recommend that you register as soon as you receive your email. That will give you a better chance to choose your preferred date. Orientation will allow you to:
- Meet one-on-one with an academic advisor and register for classes
- Receive more information on academic life and what you can expect in the classroom
- Spend the night in an on-campus apartment to experience life as a Union resident
- Explore the various organizations, clubs, sports and other extra-curricular activities available to you
- Interact with student leaders and members of student organizations
- Learn about and participate in exciting campus traditions
- Have your photo taken for your official Union ID and pick up your parking sticker
- Get a glimpse of the opportunities, fun, and excitement that you will have as a student!
What to Bring
Students will be staying in an on-campus apartment during orientation. Please plan to bring the following items with you:
- Comfortable clothes and shoes (the two days are casual)
- Linens, pillows, towels, and toiletries
- Vehicle Insurance information
Parents & Guests
During orientation, parents and guests will also participate in a variety of sessions that will aid your family in the transition to college life. Parents and guests can expect to receive more information on student life, financial aid, safety, student academic expectations, and opportunities that are available for all students at Union.
While students will stay on-campus during the orientation, parents and guests will need to plan for their own accommodations off-campus. Union has special rates at local hotels.
