New Student Academic Planning Guide

Welcome Class of 2029! We are so happy you have chosen to join us at Union College and we are eager to support your transition to campus life.

Union College’s mission is to provide “a rigorous, holistic, and immersive residential liberal education that emphasizes integration, innovation, inclusion, and reflection for every student.” You will begin this process of reflection now, as you consider your academic areas of interest and start to plan for Fall Term 2025. However, you will not be alone in this process. Union College faculty, staff, and administrators will support you during each step of your educational journey, beginning with the first-year course registration process this summer.

This new student advising and course planning guide will provide you with all the information you need to begin preparing for your academic career at Union College. Links to key information about course registration, course offerings, academic advising, and academic planning are included on the menu to the right. As you navigate this planning guide, you can also direct any questions to our Director of Academic Advising at academicadvising@union.edu.

Again, welcome to Union!
