Missing Person Policy
In compliance with the Clery Act, Union University's missing person policy states: If a member of the Union University community has reason to believe that a student who resides in on-campus housing is missing, he or she should immediately notify Union Safety and Security. Upon receiving a missing person's report, it is Union's policy to notify the Jackson Police Department. All students are required to provide emergency contact information prior to enrolling for classes each semester. Union University will notify a student's emergency contact no later than 24 hours after the student is determined to be missing. A student's emergency contact information will be accessible only by authorized campus officials and law enforcement. - from page 45 of the Campus Life Handbook
Timely Warning
In the event that a situation arises either on or off campus that, in the judgment of the Dean of Students in consultation with the President and/or Vice President(s) constitutes an ongoing threat, a campus wide "timely warning" may be issued. The decision of whether to issue a timely warning will be made on a case by case basis. Timely warnings will be issued to the campus community as soon as pertinent information about the incident is available. Timely warnings will be delivered via emergency text message, uu.edu/uualerts, Union email, posted announcements and/or verbal warnings. - from page 45 of the Campus Life Handbook
Voter Registration
All states require that you be a United States citizen by birth or naturalization to register to vote in federal and state elections. You cannot be registered to vote in more than one place at a time. Each state has its own laws regarding registering and voting as well as deadlines for registering to vote and absentee voting.
