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.Join the University of Atlantia staff and support learning throughout the Known World!
Our university is a uniquely Atlantian institution that has lasted for 45 years and become a destination for students and instructors throughout the SCA. The staff of the University of Atlantia is a strong team that uses their real-world skills to ensure that each session is well-organized, properly advertised, and smoothly executed. As Chancellor, I appreciate their dedication and willingness to work together to achieve the best possible outcomes.
The University of Atlantia is in need of deputies to train to become the lead in some of our staff positions. If you are interested, please contact the lead person as listed on the University of Atlantia website contacts page (https://university.atlantia.sca.org/chancellor.php) or talk to a staff member at an event. I will be at KASF on March 1 and happy to speak with anyone interested in joining us. The best place to find me will be the University bookstore table.
The current openings are:
Deputy Chancellor – This person is intended to be the designated successor to the Chancellor to assume the job at 12th Night in January 2026 with the approval of the Crowns. The only requirement is that the candidate be a Fellow of the University. Being Chancellor means overseeing three University sessions a year, supervising the staff activities for public outreach and technical issues, and making policy decisions regarding the University. It requires a consistent presence via electronic communications, conducting meetings 2-4 times a month depending on needs, soliciting bids for future in-person sessions of the University, and ensuring that University income is properly reported and used within the special fund in the kingdom accounts. This is an official kingdom office and requires a warrant from the Kingdom Minister of Arts and Sciences. Responses due by February 26.
Deputy Teaching Assistant (TA) Coordinator – To assist in recruiting and training teaching assistants for online sessions of the University, and to help match up teaching assistants with instructors in the preparations for online university.
Deputy External Communications Lead – possibly two open positions – To assist in preparing material for publication in support of the University (announcements of deadlines, upcoming projects, etc.), and then post on selected social media. This is often done in cooperation with the Video Resources Coordinator. Familiarity with creating graphic content is necessary (the University uses Canva). Creating and maintaining a plan for distribution across appropriate social media platforms is essential. Identifying the right channels of distribution is important not just to reach Atlantians but also for all other kingdoms in the SCA.
Deputy Video Resources Coordinator – To assist in managing the University’s YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@universityofatlantia) with preparation of video content. This will include editing of Convocation materials, and framing of recorded Instructor Spotlight sessions and those classes where instructors grant permission for use on our channel. Work with the External Communications Lead in preparing outreach content.
