Think About It Program
As part of the transition to Mount Union, all students are required to complete Think About It, an online alcohol, drug, and sexual misconduct prevention and education program. The interactive program is designed to help you to make healthy choices. We think that you'll enjoy going through the program and that it will give you some useful pointers and advice.
 
An email directly from the Think About It program will be sent to your Mount Union email on July 20, so be sure to check that out to learn how to log-in and complete the course.
 
If you have any questions about Think About It, please feel free to contact the  Office of Alcohol, Drug, and Wellness Education   at (330) 829-6660 or the  Office of First-Year Initiatives   at (330) 823-4489. 

Parking and Security
Are you planning to have a car on campus? Check out all the  information about parking and vehicles   on campus, and be sure to fill out the  online form   to register your car.   There is no fee to register your car at Mount Union, but be sure to get familiar with the parking regulations so you don't get a ticket!

It is encouraged that all students put the Campus Safety and Security number (330-428-1344) in their phones. You can quickly check this off your list before Fall Orientation!
