Union College Launches MyUnion Web Portal

Union’s Web content is getting personal.

Union launched my.unionky.edu last week. The new site offers personalized content for various audiences.

The site is being developed and released incrementally. For now, most of the available content is related to academics. Students can use the site to see who their advisors are, review class schedules, print unofficial transcripts, see grade reports for a particular term, and search for courses.

Faculty can pull class lists, enter grades online, access standard forms, review curriculum plans, see lists of advisees, and schedule advising appointments.

The next sections to be developed include those for alumni and friends, a Union Life portal that outlines student groups and activities, and more useful sections for faculty and staff.
