{{Infobox university}} is an infobox for articles about universities and colleges; see Wikipedia:College and university article guideline.

Parameters

All fields are optional. Remove hidden notes (including both the <!-- and --> characters) that surround certain entries, in order for the data you enter to appear in the published article. All parameter names must be lowercase.

Full syntax

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow: auto;"> </syntaxhighlight>

Custom blank/free parameters

Note how the 10 customized free-data parameters (or blank label/data pairs) are shown in 3 parts of the infobox as upper/middle/bottom: upper (as "top_free_label=" with "top_free=" to "top_free2"), or middle (as "free_label=" with "free=" to "free2") or bottom (as "sports_free_label=" with "sports_free=" to "sports_free3"). Those 10 custom parameters allow speciality field labels and data values for 10 extra parameter label/data pairs. Also any of those 10 custom fields could be mere note labels, with text, to briefly explain nearby parameters, or link footnotes, without cluttering the other label/data pairs. A custom label can be set blank to hide as with "free_label=&nbsp;" to show only the data portion, with hidden label.
