It changed its name to Assumption University of Windsor in 1956 and subsequently affiliated with Essex College, Holy Names College, Holy Redeemer College (now Academie Sainte-Cecile), Iona College (a United Church affiliate) and Canterbury College. In December, 1963, those colleges joined into an affiliation agreement (or in the case of Essex, which ceased to exist) and became the University of Windsor.
