What is the current waiting time for title issuance?

This depends on the title and your individual situation as a whole. The individual waiting time may vary between a few hours and up to 14 days.

I think I meet all of the requirements, yet have not received my title. Is this normal?

This is perfectly normal. If you feel that you are eligible for a title, then you still need to apply for it. Until you have submitted your application nobody will be able to process your request and, if you really are eligible, approve it. Additionally, while you may already meet the requirements for a title, the title still needs to be applied manually by a Director.

The forum says I am not in EVE University while I am. What should I do?

Be patient. The tool may just need a little more time to update or it is having issues again. Usually most of these issues solve themselves given time.

The out-of-game tool says that I have a title, but the game doesn't. Why?

The out-of-game tool is what the Titles Staff uses to manage the applications. If that tool indicates that you 'have' a title, it really means that Titles Staff have 'approved' you for that title. Now your title application has moved into a different queue and is waiting for a Director to actually apply the title ingame. However, this still requires a Director to log in, and decide to spend time playing apply-titles-online instead of flying their internet spaceships. So if you notice this change in the out-of-game tool, then you may still need to wait several days for a Director to apply the title (sometimes longer).

Do I need to have been an Omega clone at some point for all three progression titles?

No. Currently Alpha Clones are allowed to apply for the Freshman title.

Do I need to maintain an Omega Clone state all the time in the Uni?

No. There must only be evidence that you, at one time (even before your time with the Uni), held the Omega Clone state.

I understand that the information available by CCP via the API does not show Clone status, what criteria does the Uni use to verify that I was once in an Omega Clone state?

At the moment, you must have injected the Auto-Targeting missiles skill (it is cheap, and you don't even need to train it), as that is what we use to test whether you were ever Omega.

If I once held a progression title and left the Uni or otherwise need to get a progression title back, do I need to be in Omega State?

No. If you already held a particular progression title, you may apply for a 'Returning' title in the Alpha clone state.

I'm mostly an Alpha state player, and I don't want to gamble a month of Omega state if my application for a progression title isn't successful. What should I do?

If that is your concern, remain in Alpha state and apply for the title. If the only problem with your application is your clone state, a Titles officer will contact you and let you know (if there are other problems, they'll let you know that, too). Then you can activate Omega state, notify the Titles Officer, they will check, and then grant you your title.
