Welcome to EVE University! If you're reading this, you're probably new to the Uni, or maybe a returning member. This page points you to the information you need to settle in, both at the Uni and in the game itself. As a member, you also get access to a range of programs and services that aren't available to outside players.
Your first three steps
- Join our Discord: it's where we ping fleets, classes and events, and where all our voice comms happen.
- Install the EVE University Overview, so your screen shows what matters for both PvP and PvE.
- Start the CORE 30 skill plan: a small set of skills that gets you ready for Uni life and fleets quickly.
Finding activities
Corporation events, classes and fleets are on the EVE Uni Calendar in Alliance Auth and in the Events area of Discord. Some events are also added to the in-game calendar.
Chat channels
We have quite a few chat channels, which can feel a bit daunting at first. These are the most important ones:
- Corp: general chat.
- Alliance: highlights upcoming classes, fleets and events.
- Intel (EVE Uni): for reporting intel on enemy capsuleers.
See EVE University Chat Channels for the full list.
Programs and services
Free fitted ships on contract, ready to take whenever you need a ship for an activity.
Free starter skillbook bundles, plus up to 3.5M ISK of skillbooks per day once you have the Student title.
Free sets of +3 implants for faster skill training, for members with the Student title.
SRP helps new pilots get into PvP by covering losses in Uni fleets, and promotes the hulls that help the whole fleet.
Free fitted ships for members who train into and fly roles the Uni needs more of: scouts, hunters, logi, booshers and Orca pilots.
Mining barges at half their Jita price, to get you out of your Venture faster.
Sell your loot, ore and salvage to the Uni without hauling it to Jita yourself.
Subsidised hauling between Jita and Isbrabata.
Education
Our Education Department works hard to help members, and players of EVE Online in general, understand the game and enjoy it as much as possible. Most of our classes come with a PDF, so you can read up before you venture out and try something new. See Attending classes to get started.
Training on Tap and other learning videos
Understanding fleets
Whatever ship you fly and whichever Community you live in, there is always a fleet to join at EVE University. Being part of a fleet means knowing a few basics:
- Fleet commands: read Fleets (CORE class). Knowing them can be the difference between losing and keeping your ship when gankers come around.
- Rules of engagement: following EVE University's rules of engagement on roams and fleets makes sure you can take part in all kinds of fleets and outings.
Community life
Our communities have no application or skill requirements, so join in with any activities you like.
Based in Korsiki, with "Horizon" as the staging structure for most Uni events. Within a few jumps you'll find places to mine, run missions and do PvP, with corpmates doing all of those you can join.
Life in low security space, based in the Minmatar/Amarr Faction Warfare warzone, with good connections to Gallente/Caldari space, Jita, Dodixie and the Main Community in Korsiki.
Introduces students and alumni to Incursions, running Vanguard sites as a group in short-ranged, stationary shield fleets. Its doctrine is forgiving for lower skill points and cheaper hulls. Some roles have requirements.
Feeling a bit lost?
We know this is a lot of information when you first join, so please don't panic! Bookmark this page so you can come back to it later. If you have any questions, ask in the #eve-uni-general channel on Discord.
If you need help from a particular department, the EVE University Management page shows who is responsible for what. Most departments also have their own wiki page listing staff you can reach out to. If you have a problem with a department, please talk to that department's Manager first.
Helping EVE University
EVE University has no paid staff: all its programs, services and departments are run by volunteers. We also rely on members to create content for each other and to help each other out by answering questions. You might not feel like you know much about EVE yet, but you almost certainly know more than someone who started after you. We really appreciate members helping others out, no matter how new they are. For ideas on how you can give back, see Helping EVE University.
