Welcome to Information Technology Services

Information Technology Services (ITS) provides support for the use and integration of computing, communications, multimedia and associated information technology to the students, faculty, staff and administration of Union College. Focus for this support is to enable the College to achieve its academic and research missions and accomplish the administrative functions of the College with the highest possible efficiency and effectiveness.

Attention Class of 2013

You will have received your College ID number in your Admittance Letter.  Additionally, if you used the online Check List system while you were submitting your paperwork, you would have used your ID number.  If you cannot locate that number, you will be receiving it again sometime during the week of June 1, 2009 when you receive information from Dean Bidoshi (Dean of Studies) about pre-registration.

System Status:

To ensure that the college's computer servers are secure and running at their optimal capabilities, Information Technology Services has scheduled daily server maintenance period between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. This fixed maintenance window is being introduced to remove the unpredictability of service disruptions and to provide the college with the ability to install required hardware, software, and security upgrades on a regular basis. This maintenance will be performed only as needed and may impact the availability of some servers for a brief period of time. Maintenance includes, although is not limited to such activities as adding, removing or replacing hardware on servers, applying software updates to servers, applying security updates issued by the manufacturer, correcting problems with software, or installing new software on servers.

Maintenance windows are generally used to perform non-urgent work. Urgent work will always be scheduled as quickly as possible with as much notification as possible.

Currently: No Problems
