“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” — John Dewey
Welcome to YOUR University! Pennsic University is the place where our passion for sharing what we know and what we do comes alive. We offer more than a thousand classes, taught by hundreds of instructors. I challenge anyone to look through the listing of classes and not find at least one that piques your interest. There is a deep pool of knowledge to be found within our tent walls; jump in and join the fun! And once you’ve had a chance to enjoy a class or two, take a moment to thank the people that made it happen. Pennsic University is only made possible by the dedication and talents of every one of our instructors who volunteer their time and expertise to inspire and teach. Thank you all so much for sharing your SCA with the rest of us!
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Pennsic University staff <names>
Mistress Ciara McRobbie,
Pennsic University Chancellor
Class Schedule: Up-to-date and complete class information, including cancellations, can always be found online at pennsicwar.org/THING. University Point and Information Point will also have a daily list of changes, new classes and cancellations.
Important Information for Teachers: Want to teach a class? Come to University Point and schedule a class right now. Already a teacher? Please check in at University Point (opposite St. Lily’s Commons) at your earliest convenience to get your teacher “thank you” token – and also so we know you are on site and ready to teach. If you are teaching in a private camp or merchant booth, please be ready to provide directions to your location from University Point when you check in. The Point is open July 28 to August 6 from 9 am to 4:30 pm.
Important Information for Students: There is no charge to attend any Pennsic classes. Some classes have handout and/or materials fees, but you may audit any class you wish without cost, subject to safety considerations. There are no signup lists permitted for any class. All class materials should be provided on a first-come/first-served basis. Please do not come to “reserve” your place far ahead of your intended class when there is a class in session in the tent.
Culture: Please use an empty tent to wait. No one should sell anything in any of our classes, unless the class takes place in a registered Merchant booth. Class handouts and materials kits should be provided at cost of materials and duplication. Come to University Point if you suspect an infraction of this policy.
Minors and Classes: Everyone is welcome at the University! However, per University Policy, ANY minor (under 18) attending class in a Private Camp must have a parent or legal guardian who remains with them for the duration of the class. In the “regular” University Tents, minors are welcome, but minors under 12 must have a parent or legal guardian within direct eyesight for the duration of the class – except in YouthU and TeenU classes. Minors are NEVER permitted to attend any classes marked as “Adults Only.”
