University of Atlantia

Welcome!

The University of Atlantia is dedicated to the advancement of teaching in the Kingdom of Atlantia, SCA, Inc. Degrees presented by the University of Atlantia are not awards of the Society for Creative Anachronism or any of its branches and do not convey SCA precedence. We are therefore pleased to be able to offer degrees to qualifying students and faculty across the Knowne World.

There are two to three University sessions each year. If you are interested in hosting a University, please refer to our bid guidelines.

For more details on teaching classes, check out the page on Teaching at University.

For those planning to attend the upcoming Fall session of the University of Atlantia, greetings from Dame Deirdre O’Siodhachain, Chancellor of the University.

I would like to remind everyone that pre-registration for classes ends Wednesday, September 18 at midnight. You DO NOT have to pre-register for in-person classes, although it is a great help to instructors to know how many students to be prepared for. You DO have to pre-register for online classes. Only students whose classes have been cancelled after the deadline will be able to register for another class with the assistance of University staff.

There is no charge for attending in-person University. However, we do ask for donations at the door. If you cannot afford a donation, come anyway. Donations can only be made in cash or check made out to the Canton of Tear’s-Sea Shore. There is no cost for online University.  If there is a fee associated with your class, it is paid directly to the instructor.

The University of Atlantia is funded entirely by donations and fundraisers. Tear-Sea’s Shore will be holding a bake sale in the morning. There will be a $10 lunch available for up to 75 people. The menu will take into account a variety of dietary needs. Please sign up via the Google form when posted on Atlantian social media. Local options for food service are limited. If you are not planning on the offered lunch, consider bringing your own food.

The University Bookstore will be on site and offer a variety of items for purchase with all proceeds going back to fund the University. The bookstore can only accept cash or checks made out to the Canton of Tear’s-Sea Shore. Separately, the Buck-A-Book Box fundraiser for the Kingdom A&S Festival will be on site. This is sponsored by the Minister of Arts and Sciences and not run by the University.

This is an open-air University. While there are sufficient chairs and tables for class areas, if you have a camp chair, consider bringing it as more comfortable in the circumstances.

Schedule for in-person University on Saturday, September 21:

7:30 AM – site opens. The Canton would appreciate extra hands to set up pavilions.
