Universitus (also known as Universitus University, The Universitus School, or simply "U"), is a coeducational, non-sectarian university located in the state of Domz in The Allied Empire of Jey, and the only Quaternary Education facility in the country. The massive university is larger than most cities within Jey, and the amount of students, faculty, or facilities maintained by the school is significantly larger than any other institution of higher learning. The founding date of the university is unknown (though can be approximated as roughly between the years 3600 - 3695 (JY)), as are the founder(s) of the school.

The rigors associated with Universitus are legendary within Jey and other countries. The perfection required by students in order to join the university is embodied within the school's motto, Perfectus, Latin for "perfect". All students within Jey have a direct possibility to be admitted into Universitus, but must do so by acquiring a certain percentage throughout standardized testing and grade point averages. The intense curriculum of Universitus produces some of the most successful of Jevian citizens.

History

Most of the history of Universitus is unknown, thus legendary tales are commonly used to explain unanswered questions concerning Universitus' history. Universitus is commonly thought to have been founded between the years of 3600 - 3695 (JY), easily making Universitus the first Jevian university of any sort. The university's oldest known diploma is from the graduating year of 3698, causing most to believe that the university was founded 3 years prior, allowing the known graduate to enter as a freshman in 3695. Until 4000, Universitus operated similarly to a postgraduate institution, allowing students to graduate in 4 years, after the conventional Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years.

Universitus is known to have been founded initially as a sectarian institute for the followers of the Church of Jey, and, until 3879, the university was known as the University of the Church of Jey. Presidents prior to 3879 were known as "Provosts". Provost Alchelm McFir offered a referendum to the alumni, students, and faculty in 3879 to remove the affiliation the school had with the Church of Jey, which is said to have passed by a considerable margin, thus making McFir the last Provost and first President of Univsersitus. By 3900, the university began competing with other colleges across Jevian lands, and with a sizable endowment from its rich history of alumni, Univeristus quickly became known as the most prestigious university in all of Domzian territory. In 3922, President Uri Ferloshenberg renamed the school from Jey University to its current name, a move which is considered a statement of Universitus' prominence over other schools. Universitus, in Jevian, means "the University", thus the renaming of the school alludes to the university's position as the prestigious institution of Jey.
