University of Holy Cross was founded in 1916 as a two-year women's normal school by the Marianites of Holy Cross. Its original location was in the Bywater area of New Orleans.[5] It became a 4-year institution in 1938. In 1947, a 40-acre (16 ha) parcel of land in Algiers was donated to the Marianites. The college completed a move across the river to this new site in 1960. Its area was later reduced by a sale. Men were first admitted in 1967.
In August 2011, the Marianites dismissed the college's president and all 19 of its trustees without warning.[6] The move prompted an investigation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) Commission on Colleges, the college's regional accreditor.[7] Following the investigation, SACS placed the college on probation for six months.[8]
In January 2016, the institution, formerly Our Lady of Holy Cross College, was renamed University of Holy Cross.
