Trinity Western College was built on the site of the former Seal-Kap Dairy farm, on the former Hudson's Bay Company farm, in Langley. In the renovated farm buildings and some prefab dormitories donated by a construction company, Trinity Junior College was launched in 1962 with only 17 students. In 1972 the name was changed to Trinity Western College to differentiate it from another Evangelical Free Church school, Trinity College at Deerfield, Illinois (near Chicago). In 1977, Trinity Western's charter from the provincial government was amended to provide a four-year degree program; and in 1979 it was amended again to confirm the authority of the school to grant baccalaureate degrees. In 1984, Trinity Western was granted membership in the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, the national conference which represents Canada's degree-granting institutions to governments and to the rest of the world. In October 1985, the name changed to Trinity Western University.
