Early history of student affairs
The Canadian students services of higher education roots date back to the seventeenth century and vocational school established at the Collège des Jésuites. Further development of student affairs has many similarities with authoritarian style of education that was common in United States in terms of monitoring and controlling students behaviour on campus in nineteenth century. A student case, occurred at Queen's University in 1875 when Principal William Snodgrass suspended several students for drinking outside of campus, lead to the larger protest. After the Principal reported to the Senate, two students were suspended; they were allowed to attend the class, but they couldn't graduate. Although their friends sent an appeal to the Senate, and refused to go to the class, the Senate rejected their request. All students had to return to the class after a week. This protest indicated a need for closer observation of students behaviour. Staff representatives started to organize social, cultural and sport activities in order to prevent further incidents. A several decades later, the Queen's Principal Robert Bruce Taylor, emphasized importance of student representatives by including deans of men and women to be elected and responsible for cooperation with the administration, students events and regulations. These deans lived on several campus and supervised regulation on campus and students' visitors, approved off-campus housing, dress code, etc. The first Dean of Women Caroline Libby McNeil started at Queen's in 1918 and soon, the other Canadian universities followed the same practice an appointed dean of men and women on campus.

Development
According to scholars, the Canadian student affairs expanded by supporting solders who received tuition and living assistance based onVeterans Rehabilitation Act (1945) after WWII. Almost 54,000 veterans enrolled Canadian universities by 1950. Therefore, the University Advisory Services was established to help veterans to hastened a degree, and provide personal and career counselling, but not to other students. In 1952 this organization changed the name to University Counselling and Placement Association (UCPA) to support students on the national level.The organization grew to include staff working in a new student orientation, financial aid, international student advising and student/housing residence life.

Professionalization
During almost two decades of serving domestic and international students, the organization was restructured to reflect specified area under the current name The Canadian Association of College and University Student Services (CAUCUSS) in 1971. This organization arranges conferences, evolve in administration structure, publish a national magazine Communiqué and discuss about networks and communities. Most of associations are focused on professional development and specific student services, e.g.:


 * Canadian Institute on Student Affairs and Services (CISAS) ,
 * Canadian Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators,
 * National Aboriginal Student Services Association (NASSA) ,
 * Canadian Association of Disability Service Providers in Post-secondary Education (CADSPPE) ,
 * Canadian Academic Integrity and Student Judicial Affairs (CAISJA).

Canadian student affairs continues to develop and prepare professionals by recognizing demands of growing internationalization, diversity and sustainability in higher education. The specialization and further expansion is identified to focus also on mental health, accessible learning, academic integrity, experiential learning, etc.
