�������ϲ�

The official �������ϲ� website (www.une.edu) presents the University to a wide variety of audiences, including prospective and current students; faculty; professional staff; alumni; donors; the local community; and the general public.

Our site is primarily intended as a recruiting tool for prospective students. It also serves as a tool for current faculty, students, and professional staff, allowing them to access our academic catalog, library services, and more. Finally, the site represents UNE to the public, showcasing our brand; sharing stories; and publicizing our programs and events that enrich the community.

In addition to the central UNE website, the Office of Communications maintains a set of WordPress sites. These UNE-branded sites include an easy-to-learn management system that allows site publishers to autonomously manage content on their sites. The sites are available to all current faculty and professional staff for the purpose of showcasing their research, academic interests, and UNE-related work. The sites are expected to amplify faculty work to internal and external audiences with content that augments our primary site. 

The central UNE website consists of more than 150 subsites that represent different official units across the University. To ensure that our site remains relevant and easy to navigate for our users, we maintain a set of guidelines around creating and maintaining subsites. The following units may request their own subsites:

• Colleges
• Schools
• Academic Departments
• Centers and Institutes
• Administrative Units (e.g., Student Affairs, Institutional Research)
• Major central annual events (e.g., Commencement, Orientation)

​Other requests are handled on a case-by-case basis. In order to warrant a unique subsite, content must be robust and require its own navigation — in other words, if your content is a single page, it is not eligible. 

Managing Subsite Edits

The Office of Communications and Marketing manages all updates for une.edu. Since only the communications team has access to certain features, this is the most efficient way to make your updates. Our web team can also help you to optimize your page layouts and edit your content to ensure compliance with our writing and style guidelines and accessibility standards. If you’d like to make changes to your subsite, please submit your requests using our .

Content Coordinators

The Office of Communications and Marketing relies on departments to check their website section regularly and request updates on dated information. We ask that each department assign a team member to be “content coordinator” who will review web sections regularly and request updates from Communications. The can be used by the content coordinator (or any staff member) to request web changes at any time.

If your site requires frequent, minor edits to web copy, your unit may designate one site editor. Once the site editor completes the required web training, they may submit their updates through the site directly. Site editor privileges are limited and do not permit instant publishing.

Writing

�������ϲ� publications follow the  (AP) style of writing, with the exception of scholarship written for purely academic audiences. The UNE Style Guide (PDF) contains a selection of words, terms, and usage issues that commonly arise when writing about a university. It provides short explanations of proper AP style for each, as well as information about other stylistic practices �������ϲ� has adopted.

All UNE faculty and professional staff members should have an online profile on une.edu. Profiles contain your name, title, contact information, bio, a portrait, and more, helping both internal and external audiences understand who you are and what you do.

Though the Office of Communications manages the overall une.edu website, faculty/professional staff profiles are owned by individual faculty/professional staff members. This enables you to manage your own entry so that it is as up-to-date as possible. Having ownership over your own profile also allows you to update your entry as frequently as you would like.
