The format for a Union student email address is xxxxxxxx@garnet.union.edu, where xxxxxxxx = the first 7 characters of the student's last name plus their first initial. If the student's last name contains fewer than 7 characters, then it's simply the last name and first initial. Occasionally, due to common names, a number may be added to the email address to make the distinction.

The mailroom is located on the first floor of the Reamer Campus Center. The mail counter is open 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday through Friday for sending and picking up packages or special delivery mail. A full range of U.S. postal services is provided, including UPS, FedEx, FedEx Ground and DHL.
When students receive a package, they are notified with a "Package Slip" in their mailbox. It is the responsibility of each student to pick up the package within a reasonable time. Please do not send cash to a student's campus mailbox since the College is not responsible for missing funds.
Celebrate
Order a birthday cake to feed one or up to 75 students. For other occasions or "just because," send your student a "Surprise Someone Package" from Dining Services. Choose from pizza and ice cream to Starbucks or healthy snacks.
What's Happening on Campus
Read Union's News site; The Chronicle, a weekly newsletter produced by the Office of Communications; and the Concordiensis, produced weekly by students during the academic year.
