New Student and Family Programming

Students Enrolling in January 2025

1. First-Time Student

   Preview is a required one-day program that provides new students and families the opportunity to “preview” all that Mount Union has to offer. At Preview, new students have the opportunity to build connections, learn about resources, and schedule their classes for the fall semester.

     

   Spring Preview 2025 Sessions

   All new students who plan to enroll for the Spring 2025 semester must attend the Preview session on January 12. New students’ families and guests are invited to participate as well.

     

   If you are unable to make the above Preview session due to being out-of-state or experiencing extenuating circumstances, please contact Student Affairs at NewStudent@honornm.com, or 330-823-2243.

     

   Register for Preview

   Preview registration will open mid-May and must be completed online. Students will receive an email, text message, and postcard from the University when registration opens.
