History
It was created on January 13, 1969, as the University of Bagé Foundation (FUnBa) by Attila Taborda, when the higher education courses of the institutions were unified: The Catholic Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters, the Faculty of Economic Sciences, the Faculty of Fine Arts and the Faculty of Law.{{Cite web |date=2016-09-22 |title=Jornal Minuano - Bagé/RS.

With the emergence of more courses, FUnBA became the Attila Taborda Foundation and on February 16, 1989, the institution was recognized as the University of the Campanha Region. After Urcamp was founded, campuses were created in Dom Pedrito, Caçapava do Sul, São Gabriel, Santana do Livramento, São Borja, Alegrete and Itaqui.
Since 2007, Urcamp has held the seal of Socially Responsible Institution from the Brazilian Association of Higher Education Providers — ABMES.{{Cite web |last=Alves |first=Jonathan |date=2022-11-21 |title=Selo Instituição Socialmente Responsável |url=https://responsabilidadesocial.abmes.org.br/index.php/9 |access-date=2023-11-13 |website=responsabilidadesocial.abmes.org.br |language=pt-br}}{{Cite web |date=2018-10-19 |title=Urcamp renova selo de |url=https://www.jornalminuano.com.br/noticia/2018/10/19/urcamp-renova-selo-de-instituicao-socialmente-responsavel |access-date=2023-11-13 |website=Jornal Minuano {{!}} O jornal que Bagé gosta de ler |language=pt-br}}
In 2017, the rectory and members of the university council, considering the need to readjust to the academic, financial and administrative reality, and considering that the institution did not meet all the requirements to remain in the academic organization of the university type (among them, the absence of stricto sensu postgraduate courses, masters and doctorates) opted to request the institution's re-accreditation as a University Center. In August 2018, after the on-site visit related to its re-accreditation process, it received the highest score from the Ministry of Education (MEC).{{Cite web |date=2018-08-22 |title=Urcamp recebe nota máxima na avaliação do MEC {{!}} Editoria Cidade |url=https://www.jornalminuano.com.br/noticia/2018/08/22/urcamp-recebe-nota-maxima-na-avaliacao-do-mec |access-date=2023-11-13 |website=Jornal Minuano {{!}} O jornal que Bagé gosta de ler |language=pt-br}} This re-accreditation, however, changed the institution's academic organization from University to University Centre, as requested and given that the institution did not meet all the criteria to be classified as a university.{{Cite web |title=Parecer CNE/CES Nº 734/2018 |url=http://portal.mec.gov.br/index.php?option=com_docman&view=download&alias=105051-pces734-18&category_slug=dezembro-2018-pdf&Itemid=30192 |website=portal.mec.gov.br |access-date=2023-11-17 |archive-date=2021-12-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211206025941/http://portal.mec.gov.br/index.php?option=com_docman&view=download&alias=105051-pces734-18&category_slug=dezembro-2018-pdf&Itemid=30192 |url-status=bot: unknown }} The institution's academic organization was changed from University to University Centre.
