New Student Orientation

New Student Orientation (NSO) at Union College is for all first-time, full-time students entering the College during the Fall or Spring semester. At NSO, students will learn how to set up college email, navigate our systems, meet with an academic advisor, and register for courses.

Attending these sessions will help you build a solid foundation of student success. Part time students are encouraged to attend New Student Orientation.
