Preview Days

High school students visit Union College

During Preview Days, Union College offers potential students an opportunity to explore what the college has to offer. Students take a two day tour going over all of the campus. Whether it would be about building locations, classes, professors or even student resources such as Student Success, nothing is left out.

For people who are interested, there are multiple Preview Days in the semester. The first lasted from Jan. 26-27. The next Preview Days are later on in the semester March 23-24. Alternatively, prospective students can register for an individual visit. For an individual visit, potential students will have the opportunity to meet with admissions and scholarship advisors, talk one-on-one with professors and explore their strengths to help them find the right major. The third option are the virtual tours through Zoom. Visits through Zoom include meeting with a professor, talking about the future with a life coach reserved only to freshmans and discussing what potential scholarships a new student would be eligible for. These tours are available from Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Meetings on Friday will only last until noon. Visits during the weekends are not available. 

For other accommodation options, Union offers a complimentary pick up/drop off for visitors who are flying into Lincoln (LNK) or Omaha (OMA) airport. This can all be arranged ahead of time by emailing visit@ucollege.edu the necessary itinerary and the individual’s cell number in order to schedule pickup at the most convenient time. This must be arranged five days before the individual's departure.

Union College offers reimbursement to individuals who travel to visit in the form of a $250 payment as well as free lodging for three days and nights. Food is also included in this reimbursement. Grad students are not eligible for a free visit, however they are still welcomed to tour the campus. Contact Brienne Engelheart with any unanswered questions.
