Grades and records
Your student will be able to access grades and finances on the Portal website. Because of the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), Union College cannot release grades or financial information to you without your student’s consent.

Most Union students live in residence halls, with good reason: national research shows students who live on-campus are more likely to finish college within four years and with higher grades.
