Union College offers a wide range of services to help students succeed academically, both directly and indirectly. These range from services related to classes themselves to overall wellbeing/safety to records needed for advising, graduation, and more.
Campus Health is a non-urgent health clinic on campus committed to providing quality health and well-being care in a compassionate environment. Its purpose is to enhance academic excellence and support student experience by providing high-quality and accessible physical and mental health services to students.
For various reasons, students may find it necessary to voice a concern related to a class. In those cases, issues should be addressed as follows:
The Title IX Educational Act of 1972 prohibits violence, harassment, and discrimination based on sex and gender. This definition of gender-based violence includes sexual assault; rape; dating/domestic violence; stalking; sexual harassment; harassment based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression; stalking; cyber-stalking; etc. If you or someone you know experiences such a crime, you have options for support.
Because we are created in the image of God, we have immeasurable value. In harmony with our calling as followers of Jesus, Union College celebrates our many ways of being diverse and aims to offer every person an equitable learning and working environment as well as foster a sense of belonging among all on campus.
If you witness or experience an injustice or inequity, you can report the incident using the uMatter form (linked below) on uGroups. All reports are taken seriously and investigated. You can use the same form to voice general concerns or make suggestions.
Every student is expected to know and uphold standards of intellectual, ethical, and moral integrity, including with the (un)acceptable use of Artificial Intelligence. Please refer to the entry titled “Integrity of Scholarship” in the Union College Bulletin as well as the document titled “Academic Integrity Policy and Procedures” that is linked below.
Union College's Ella Johnson Crandall Memorial Library leads the campus in the utilization of information resources and preservation of institutional heritage and serves students, faculty, staff, and community members in their intellectual and spiritual growth.
The Studio for Writing and Speaking is staffed with both professional and peer consultants to support you at any stage of a writing or speaking project. This service is provided at no cost to students and is offered on a first-come, first-served basis in Library 243.
To foster academic integrity by learning and applying ethical practices in research and writing, some courses use Turnitin software to generate a similarity report along with grammatical and mechanical guidance for students. This software compares your writing to the writing of other students in the Turnitin repository, internet sources, and academic databases. It also stores your submissions for future use. The goal of employing Turnitin is to help students develop a better grasp of their paraphrasing, summarizing, and citing skills.
Life coaching is a collaboration between the coach and the student. It is an individualized process to help students identify their scholastic or personal goals and support students toward achieving these goals by providing structure, support, feedback, and encouragement.
All incoming first-year students are assigned a Certified Life Coach who becomes their person for selecting courses, exploring major options, and adjusting to college life through the first academic year.
We are here to help Union College students prepare for their career including coaching, internship or job search, resume reviews, practice interviews and more. We look forward to working with you!
