In 2003, the university marked its 40th anniversary. Its history dates back to the founding of Assumption College in 1857. Originally, Assumption was one the largest colleges associated with the University of Western Ontario. In 1950, Assumption College welcomed its first women students and in 1953, it ended its affiliation with the University of Western Ontario and became an independent institution through an Act of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. In 1956, the College changed its name to Assumption University and accepted as an affiliate the non-denominational Essex College. In 1957, Canterbury College became the first Anglican college in the world to affiliate with a Roman Catholic University. On December 19, 1962, the University of Windsor was incorporated by the Ontario Legislature, accepting Assumption University as a federated institution. Soon after, affiliation agreements were made with Holy Redeemer College, Canterbury College and the new Iona College (affiliated with the United Church of Canada). On July 1, 1963, the University of Windsor assumed control of the campus. Image File history File linksMetadata DSC02813. ... Image File history File linksMetadata DSC02813. ...

The campus covers 51 contiguous hectares (125 acres) and is surrounded by a well established residential neighborhood. It takes a walk of a couple kilometres, along the riverfront sculpture lined parkland or Wyandotte Street, to get to downtown.
