University is an optional educational path for Young Adult Zois. It enhances specific skills through structured academics. In the current Early Access build, no careers require a degree for employment or advancement.
Open the Smartphone [P], click the School app, go to the University tab, select a degree program, and click Apply. Enrollment is instant with no admission requirements or fees. Three degrees are available: Business Administration, Computer Science, and Multimedia Arts.
Classes run 3 days per week, 10 AM to 5 PM. A notification appears when it's time to go. Choose "Go" (bus) or "Travel by Car." University is currently a rabbit hole -- the Zoi is uncontrollable during class. Players manage other household members while waiting, with limited interaction available through the portrait sidebar (study hard, take notes).
At the end of each university day, the Zoi receives 2 tasks with a short deadline (a few hours). Tasks typically involve using a computer or bookshelf -- make sure to select the correct item (advanced vs. beginner books). Completing tasks on time improves Academic Level. Missing deadlines or skipping classes drops performance. Homework is the main driver of progress; attendance prevents penalties.
Graduation takes roughly 8-10 in-game days, though timing depends on the enrollment day. There's no clear countdown. Upon graduating, the Zoi's profile includes a diploma. Whether the diploma provides direct career benefits is unclear in Early Access.
Open Career App > My Information > Drop Out. All academic progress is permanently lost. Not recommended unless the player has a specific reason.
Zois cannot attend university and hold a job at the same time. Getting a job while enrolled automatically drops the degree (all progress lost). Enrolling while employed automatically quits the job. No warning is given in either case.
