The University was founded on January 20, 1661 when the King John II Casimir of Poland issued the Diploma granting the city's Jesuit Collegium, founded earlier in 1608, "the honour of the Academy and the title of the University".

From 1919 until September 1939, in the Polish Second Republic era, the university was know as John Casimir University (Polish: Uniwersytet Jana Kazimierza) in honor of its founder. In 1920 the University received from the Polish government the building formerly used by the Galician parliament, which has since been the university's main edifice. Ukrainian professors were required to take a formal oath of allegiance to Poland; most of them refused and left the university in early 1920s.
