History, Affiliations and Rankings

The Oblates of Mary Immaculate founded the College of Bytown in 1848 as a bilingual Catholic college; students studied in both English and French from the start. The newly renamed College of Ottawa was elevated to university status by royal charter in 1866, and it was granted pontifical status in 1889. The Oblates gave up control of the University in 1965, and it became a provincially funded secular institution. The college is affiliated with the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU), Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC), Association of Colleges and Universities of the Canadian Francophonie (ACUFC),  Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) and Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE).
