History

St. Jerome's University was established in 1865 as St. Jerome's College. In 1959 an Ontario government Act gave the College 'university status' and changed its name to the University of St. Jerome's College. St. Jerome's University does not grant degrees. In 1959, St. Jerome's University entered into a federation with the University of Waterloo. St. Jerome's suspended its degree-granting powers and became a branch of the University of Waterloo. In 1998, St. Jerome's changed its name to St. Jerome's University.
