A) Motto
The motto of the University is LUCERNA ARDENS ET LUCENS \ A FLAME OF GLOWING RADIANCE (John 5:35)

b) Colors
The official colors of the University are: RED and BLUE.

c) Seal
The Corporate seal of the University consists of two concentric circles, the inner circle encompassing the emblem of the University and the outer circle encompassing in its upper half the name of the University and in its lower half the motto of the University.

d) Emblem
The emblem of the University of Sudbury is based on the armorial bearings of St. Ignatius Loyola. The shield is halved, one side for the Loyola family,the other for the saint’s Onaz ancestors. On the left, which is blue, a white cauldron is suspended between two white wolves facing each other. Below them are two crossed swords. On the right, seven red stripes pass obliquely from left to right against a white background. The crest above is a Knight's helmet in profile facing left, and on its left and right sides respectively are a white and green trillium and a blue and white fleur-de-lys. At the bottom of the shield are crossed boughs of laurel and maple leaves.

On the blue and red ribbons are in Latin the name of the University and the motto: "A flame of glowing radiance".

The wolves and cauldron represent the Loyola name and stand for generosity and hospitality. The helmet and swords represent the chivalrons virtues of courage, courtesy, honour, and dedication; the seven red stripes evoke the sacrifice of the seven Onaz brothers who gave their lives as crusaders. The trillium and fleur-de-lys recall the University's French-Canadian origin in Ontario, the laurel and maple leaves, as well as the motto, which is taken from the Gospel of Saint John, symbolize the ideal of academic excellence in Canada.

e ) The Great East Window
The stained glass window above the Canisius door was designed and crafted by Dr. John Elliott, long-time professor of Sociology at Laurentian University, and Chair of the University of Sudbury Parish Council for twelve years. Thanks to a gift for the materials from Dr. Alma Baxter Ricard, Dr. Elliott gave his work to the University of Sudbury in 1997 to mark the silver jubilee of the Parish.
