January 1844 CE

Notre Dame had begun as a primary and secondary school, but soon receives its official college charter from the Indiana General Assembly on January 15, 1844.

Under the charter the school is officially named the University of Notre Dame du Lac (University of Our Lady of the Lake).

Because the university is originally only for male students, the female-only Saint Mary's College is founded by the Sisters of the Holy Cross near Notre Dame in 1844.
