More than a place to stay. A community where you belong, grow, and thrive at uni.
This flagship program has been established for decades, boosting confidence (and the GPAs!) of generations of Union College residents.
Our comprehensive scope of tutorials means that every Union College resident can request tutors for any of their enrolled subjects, regardless of their degree or university.
Our tutors are sourced from industry, academia, and top-ranking students, so you can be confident you’re receiving support that matches your needs.
Tutorials are held in dedicated Tutorial Rooms, equipped with SmartBoards or remotely via video-conference software.
Have a handle on the course content but need help with foundational work? We provide tailored sessions for academic writing, study techniques, coding basics, and neurodivergent-friendly tutorials.
Safety and wellbeing remain top priorities at Union College. Take a moment to read through our expectations surrounding college policies and gain a better understanding of how we approach this together.
Your university journey will present you with opportunities that lay outside Union College, and we’re ready to support those too. Our qualified academic and career counselling is available year-round to all residents. We provide tailored support with resume and interview skills, internship planning, and industry links, with real, life-changing outcomes.
"The career counselling offered at college has been an absolute game-changer for me. [It] helped me refine my resume so I could it submit it to HDF Energy, receive NCP grant funding, and work for 9 weeks in Indonesia. This was a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience, which I credit in large part [sic] to career counselling, as it helped me believe in myself."

Academic support is also available, if you need advice with degree planning, study loads, or managing your coursework.
College life that’s bold, welcoming, and one-of-a-kind – that’s the Union College experience. Since our foundation in 1947, we’ve supported countless generations of remark-a-bull residents across their journey of personal and academic growth.
