Student Email @ Union College

Union College has adopted Gmail as the student Email system. Currently all incoming first year students (class of 2014) have accounts on the Gmail system. All current freshmen, sophomores, and juniors (classes of 2011, 2012, & 2013) will be migrated to the Gmail system during the summer.

Graduating seniors (class of 2010) will continue to use their current accounts. These accounts will be active and the email will be available for download until September 30, 2010. Click here for instructions on how to download your email.
