In 1972, Collège Jésus-Marie in Shippagan was affiliated directly with the Université de Moncton and offered the first two years of the arts program.
Following recommendations made in 1975 by the Committee on Higher Education in the Francophone Sector in New Brunswick, chaired by Justice Louis A. LeBel, the Université de Moncton underwent a major reorganization. In 1977, the Université de Moncton became a university composed of three equal campuses, located in the three major francophone regions of the province: Edmundston, Moncton, and Shippagan. Collège Jésus-Marie became the Centre universitaire de Shippagan, campus de l’Université de Moncton, and Collège Saint-Louis-Maillet became the Centre universitaire Saint-Louis-Maillet, campus de l’Université de Moncton. Moncton was named the Centre universitaire de Moncton, campus de l'Université de Moncton.
The current designations since 1994 of the three constituents of the Université de Moncton are: (1) Université de Moncton, campus d'Edmundston (UMCE), (2) Université de Moncton, campus de Moncton (UMCM) and (3) Université de Moncton, campus de Shippagan (UMCS)
