Exterior[]
The university is the shape of a college graduation hat. It appears to be made of black brick. It has a porthole above the front door with what appears to be a bell hanging in the center. Said bell is a couple of keys.
The university's past appearance is shown in the Nick Mag Presents Winter 2004 comic Plankton: The College Years as different than its later-introduced present appearance from "Salsa Imbecilicus," "Intelligent Financial Life," Mr. Krabs' Financial Dashboard, and The Patrick Star Game.

"Salsa Imbecilicus"[]
Sandy and Karen run the university to re-teach the people of Bikini Bottom after they all got rained on by the Salsa Imbecilicus. After everyone in Bikini Bottom passes, an event known as Bikini Bottom University Graduation Day takes place. Everyone gets their diploma, except Mr. Krabs and Plankton, the former inventing the Krabby Patty again and the latter trying to steal it. When SpongeBob realizes that Mr. Krabs hasn't gotten his diploma, SpongeBob runs to Mr. Krabs and gives him the diploma, right before Plankton gets the Krabby Patty secret formula. Mr. Krabs suddenly becomes smart, which surprises Plankton. Mr. Krabs says that he took accelerated classes months ago and the diploma was just a formality, although Plankton doesn't understand this. Sandy gives him a final A+ for acting, which also surprises Plankton. Mr. Krabs picks up Plankton and kicks him out of the school onto Karen, who drives off into the distance.
