Student Orientation

Orientation is an essential and exciting program that introduces incoming students to all aspects of campus life, and prepares returning students for another year at Union. It will be an opportunity to meet with administrators, faculty and fellow students to ease your transition to Union Theological Seminary.

Communications

All official correspondence related to Orientation will be emailed exclusively to Union email addresses. Official new student information and necessary forms are shared below via the Action Items for incoming and returning students. You will need to use your UNI (University Network ID) which is also your Union email username. Please memorize your UNI. You will need to enter it on many of the forms and documents you submit to Union. If you have questions about your UNI or Union email address, please contact our Helpdesk at [email protected]. Please allow 24 to 48 hours for a response.

Please visit the Action Items for incoming and returning students (see below). When completing your action items, please provide consistent information in all forms, particularly when sharing your legal name. The relevant data/demographic information collected in your orientation paperwork will be shared with administrative offices at Union for educational purposes.
