The story of our university began in September of 1857, when the first students arrived to study at its predecessor, Assumption College.
In the 160+ years since, the small Roman Catholic college gave rise to a non-denominational, comprehensive, teaching and learning university. More than 16,000 students attend the University of Windsor today and its alumni family boasts 100,000 members.
