What We Do

The primary goal of UNECOM's Office of Constituent Services is to help prospective and current students as well as alumni. The information on this page will give you a "snapshot" of what we do; however, it certainly is not all-inclusive. If you have a simple question or a more complicated need, we hope to be able to assist you; please feel free to contact us at comsa@une.edu or 207-602-2329. We consider our office a "one stop shop"--meaning that if we don't have an answer for you, we'll get one.

We're here to help you succeed!
