In 2015, management of Clubs and Societies, Tune!FM, Uni4me (Independent Student Advocates), and the 2nd Hand Bookstore were transferred from UNESA to UNE Life by order of the University of New England's CFO Prof. Peter Creamer.
Following the introduction of voluntary student unionism, UNESA was dissolved at a special general meeting of the members in late March 2006.
Postgrads@UNE remained separate under the same name until 2013, when both groups reunited with the re-establishment of the University of New England Students Association.
UNELC members also controlled the student union and the University Council undergraduate position.
