Abstract
We study the congruence classes attained by positive integers $D$ with a prescribed period of the continued fraction of $\sqrt D$. As an application, we refine the available results on large ranks of universal quadratic forms over real quadratic fields by also imposing congruence conditions on their discriminants.
