Simultaneous play in Uni

It is much more different than in The Sims 2.
In The Sims 4, the term still continues while you are playing with another household. Once it ends, they'll wait for the player to return so they can re-enroll them (unless they're marked as unplayed). In The Sims 2, the semester timer would freeze until you return to the college household.

Also in The Sims 4, when enrolling your sim to the university, you don't have to move them out. They can stay at home and do their studies.

Like The Sims 3, The Sims 4 enrollment works differently. While in The Sims 2, only teens can enroll into college by using a phone (or a tool in the family bin) and moving there. It didn't cost anything to the family they left from. Once you move them into a lot, they'll become young adults and study in there. Once they graduate, drop out, or get expelled, they'll become adults, move out, and can never return to college.
In The Sims 4, sims must first send an application to universities in order to see which distinguished degrees they can get (which depends on their high school grade and skills). That interaction becomes avaliable once a teenager is near aging up. Once the results arrive, any young adult, adult, and elder sim can enroll in university by using their phone. You first choose the university, then a degree, then where your sim will live, and finally how will you pay the tuition. University can end with either dropping out or graduating (getting caught cheating or having bad grades will eventually get your sim suspended for some days). Sims who have dropped out or graduated can return to college (unless they already have all the degrees).

Also in The Sims 4, when a term ends, you don't have to reenroll immediately, though if you do make that choice, your sim will lose their scholarships.

Oh, and unlike in The Sims 3, sims age at university.

Does it continue even if you don’t have aging on? So I can essentially send my sims to uni, never play them over there and they will
Progress without supervision while I play on their “home” lot?

I've found that if you mark them as unplayed they will either graduate on their own with a B- or face probation. I cheat their relevant skill levels up before I leave them because I think that gives a higher probability of graduating.

If they are marked as "played" I believe they'll a) finish one term and then you have to manually enroll them in the next term or b) their grades suffer and they get expelled. Perhaps another simmer is more knowledgable with what happens if you leave them as "played".

You can skip around playing other families, but still have to keep track that a day is still a day, there are still classes to go to and homework to do, and skipping a day will reduce your grades a lot. You'll never get an honours degree.

Thank you for your responses, but it doesn’t really answer my question. I want to know if I can send a kid to uni and still be able to play the parents or am I forced to follow the kid to uni until they graduate.

I take it they will progress without my supervision if I’m playing other houses but I want to know if I can play their original home base while they are on campus?

Sims at Uni are no longer a part of the parent's household, so playing the parent house is just like playing any other household.

Oooh. Interesting. Ok thank you that helps!
