All you need to know!!

Can you believe we are at the start of a whole new school year already?? Hard to believe, yet here we are.

For the 2009-2010 school year the Admissions Office is going to keep you "in the know" through this blog. It will be updated weekly to give you pertinent dates and information about UC Events.

As September kicks off the Admissions is already in full swing visiting grammar schools, attending high school nights and making plans for the October 8th Open House. We don't want you to miss a thing so we are posting a "must do" list for all prospective 8th grade students:


September- Register for the High School Entrance Exam (COOP). You may do this through your catholic grammar school or by visiting www.coopexam.org. Make sure you list UC as one of the choices to receive your scores. Our school code is 835

October 8th - Attend the Fall Open House. This is a great time to pick up the new Union Catholic Viewbook and UC Application as well as an opportunity to meet our students, teachers and coaches!

October through May - Schedule your Freshman For A Day Visit. Come see for yourself all that UC has to offer!

December - Make sure that your application as well as your 6th 7th & first marking period of 8th grade grades are submitted to our office.

January 9th - Take the Union Catholic Scholarship Exam.

If you follow this timeline, hopefully on January 22, 2010 we will be mailing you your invitation to join the UC Community in the Class of 2014.

If you can't make Open House or have additional questions, feel free to make an appointment on "True Blue Thursdays" when the Admissions Office offers appointments and tours from 8:30 am to 7 pm - call 908.889.1600, ext. 302 for more information.

You may also want to stop by a see a UC volleyball or soccer game on the new "state of the art" turf field. Check our website for dates and times www.unioncatholic.org/athletics

The fall play "Noises Off" is also a must. You'll receive a complimentary ticket by attending Open House!!
