Notes
In 1865 St. Jerome's College was founded by the Reverend Dr. Louis Funcken, of the Congregation of the Resurrection, to meet the demand for higher education in Waterloo County.

Over the years, the College grew in size and occupied various locations in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. In 1959, through an Act of the Ontario Legislature, St. Jerome's College was granted independent university status. The name was changed to the University of St. Jerome's College to reflect new university powers and the authority to grant degrees.

As an independent university, St. Jerome's College entered into federation with the newly established University of Waterloo, and a series of College buildings were constructed in the heart of the University of Waterloo campus. In the federation agreement, St. Jerome's waived its degree-granting rights so that its students earn a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Mathematics degree from the University of Waterloo.

In 1998, the University of St. Jerome's College officially and legally changed its name to St. Jerome's University, a change that clarifies St. Jerome's status as a federated university. Students graduate with a University of Waterloo degree.
