- Bulldog Guide - Brief, helpful and essential information for new students entering Union University.
- If you are a student with any special needs such as a learning disability, physical limitation or hearing impairment and require any accommodations, visit our Office of Disability Services and contact the director at least a month before you arrive on campus so he may ensure everything is in place to ensure you are able to immediately succeed at Union.
