These important first steps should not be ignored by new University pilots, and should be completed as soon as possible. Take the time to go through all the steps listed below.  This will save you a lot of time and confusion as well as help to properly orient you and get you involved in the Uni.
+
== Getting Started in EVE University ==
  
== <br> <font size="3">'''First: '''Chat channels and their use</font> ==
+
* [[Mumble]] is our main choice for Voice Communication. Please install and set up Mumble. Follow the instructions here.
You will be automatically added to the Corp and Alliance chat channels. It is highly recommended that you also join Chat.E-UNI and LiveIntel.ILN as well. Be sure you check out what is listed in each channel's MOTD (Message of the Day) as they contain important notes, reminders, and some links relevant to each channel.
+
* [[Discord]] is our main source of communication outside of the game and how we 'ping' people for fleets, classes and other activities in EVE University.
 +
* [[EVE University Forum]] This is where we post details about events, fleets and other important happenings within Uni.
 +
* [[EVE University Overview]] The overview helps you to see things relevant to you, in and around New Eden, for both PvP and PvE gameplay and help to keep your screen functional and organized.
 +
* [[Short Skill Plan]] The 'SSP' is a small set of skills that will get you started in EVE uni quicker and more efficiently. This includes taking part in fleets.
 +
* [[Avoid Losses to War Targets]] EVE University sometimes finds itself at war. Read over this to get the very basics of how to avoid dying to war targets.
 +
* [[Creating an Alt Hauler]] Creating an alt hauler is only one way to help prevent losses to War Targets.
  
*"Corp" chat tab is used to request skillbook reimbursement, hangar requests, etc. This is also where questions about university policies or clarifications about where to ask should go.
+
Please note that you can find Corporation Events/Fleets in game by accessing the Corporation Calendar. To do this, simply click on the time display (at the bottom left of your screen) in EVE Online and it should pop right up for you to check what you can do with your Corpmates today!
*"Alliance" chat tab is for fleet formation. You should only be typing in Alliance to form or join a fleet. To understand how fleets are formed in alliance please read [[The Rookie's Guide To Fleet Ops]]. If you still have questions please ask them in corp chat. You will also see events or classes announced in this channel.
 
  
 +
== Chat channels and their uses ==
  
The below channels are password protected. The password can be found [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=23156 here].
+
We have various different chat channels and we understand that these can be a bit daunting for new members. The most important ones are summarised below.
*"Chat.E-UNI" is the general chat channel for the university. Questions about fleets, fleet formation or [[Wartime Standard Operating Procedures|Wartime SOP]] should not be asked there but should instead be asked in Mess.ILN.
 
*"Q&A.E-UNI" is a chat-free question and answer channel.  Feel free to ask all sorts of questions there.  You will find it free of chat so your important questions will not get lost in the constant din of social chatter in other channels.
 
*"LiveIntel.ILN" is a place where information about current enemies is posted. The password is found under NeoCom -> Social -> Corporation -> Alliances -> Bulletins. Read the Message of the Day at the top, and pay attention to warnings that effect your area of EVE.
 
*"Mess.ILN" is a chat channel restricted to Uni members. It is focused on PvP but is also used for general socialising. It is the only general chat channel with any form of opsec (only current members can see its contents). Questions about anything happening in Alliance should be asked here as well as advice on all things PvP.
 
  
 +
* The "{{Co|#0099CC|Corp}}" channel is used to request skillbook reimbursement and to request items from our hangars.
 +
* The "{{Co|#0099CC|Alliance}}" channel is used for forming and announcing fleets, classes or events happening soon. If you have questions about the announcement, PM the person who made the announcement.
  
Other channels can be found here [[Chat Channels and Mailing Lists]].
+
The below channels are password protected.
 +
* The "{{Co|#0099CC|Questions (EVE Uni)}}" channel is a chat-free question and answer channel. You can ask any type of questions here, and since there is no chat it may be easier to get an answer. The password can be found [https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=23156 here].
 +
* The "{{Co|#0099CC|Intel (EVE Uni)}}" channel is our channel for reporting intel on war targets.
  
== <br> <font size="3">'''Second: '''Is the University at war?</font> ==
+
Other channels can be found here [[EVE University Chat Channels]]. Feel free to join any of the chat channels which cover an area you are interested in.
  
With the launch of the Inferno expansion the Uni (Ivy League) has seen itself almost under constant war from one corporation/alliance or another.  Be sure to read through [[Applying to EVE University During War]] so that you understand your options and what we expect of you.
+
== Programs and services ==
  
You will also want to read through how to [[Tips For War]], a most excellent write-up with a link to a forum posting.
+
* [[Mentor Program]] This program is for players that are looking for one-one tutoring, whether for asking questions or practicing concepts ingame. You simply fill out the application provided on the page and our Mentor Manager does the rest! This is open to characters of any age and experience.
 +
* [[The +3 Implants Program]] This program is available to those who have been playing longer than 31 days and have been in the University for at least 7 days. These implants are available at a reduced prices and help with things like faster skill training.
 +
* [[Corporation Hangar]] Access to this service is available after you have applied for [[Freshman]] and received the title, but can be useful when you first join, if you ask another player with the title to help, you get free modules and frigates at the communities. In addition to that we have [[Flight_Deck|free ships for you to use on contract]] - there are called "Flight Deck" or "FD" ships and you are free to take one whenever you need a ship for a specific activity.
 +
* [[The Skillbook Program]] EVE University which allows you to obtain reimbursement for up to three and a half million ISK of skillbooks per day. The instructions are on the page for more info.
 +
* [[Ship Replacement Program]] The program (Commonly known as SRP) is intended to both help new pilots get into PvP and to promote the use of important hulls that benefit the entire fleet.
 +
* [http://eveuni.org/haulingservice Sponsored Community Shipping Service] Is a program that is intended to be available for nearly all communities. However, you can always ask in Mumble for help moving your items from where you are in space.
  
== <br> <font size="3">'''Third: '''Expectations of Students</font> ==
+
== Education ==
 +
Our Education Department works hard to help our members and the players of EVE Online, to be able to better understand the game basics and make the game as enjoyable as possible. Most of our classes are available with a .PDF so you can read before you venture out to the great unknown and try something new.
 +
* [https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=72 Classes available at this time] You can also check the in game Corporation Calendar at any point by clicking on the time display in the bottom left hand side in EVE Online.
 +
* [[Classes|Classes often taught at EVE Uni]] On this page you will also find instructions on requesting a class from this list on Discord.
 +
* [[Pod saving]] This class is at the very core of everything you do in EVE Online.
  
Students are expected to follow the advice and direction of EVE University staff.  And there is also the expectation that students will take responsibility for their own education in reviewing all the material presented to them, such as this wiki page and the wiki pages that the links direct one to.  There is a lot of information to get to know.  There is nothing wrong in asking in an appropriate channel for help or clarification.  Fellow students providing any answers are expected to be providing accurate information and not hearsay or misinformation.  Yes, we expect students to do some homework in reviewing the information.  EVE University and it's staff cannot be held responsible for actions a student takes against advice or other presented information.

== Progression Titles in EVE Uni ==
 +
As you learn and grow in EVE University, you may find that you want to do more. You can work towards our Freshman, Sophomore and Graduate titles. These indicate how far along EVE Uni's path you have traveled, and give you a sense of achievement, along with some in-corp perks.
 +
* [[Titles within EVE University]] Each title has perks with it. With the ultimate goal of becoming a GRADUATE.
 +
* [[Community Content Initiative]] As the name implies, the focus of the program will be "content generation" (i.e., activities) spread around multiple "communities" and/or areas of space.
  
*Bookmark these sites for future reference in the In-Game Browser (IGB) or your favorite browser.
+
== Understanding Fleets ==
**[[Welcome to EVE University]] (this page)
+
No matter what kind of ship you fly, or the Community you live at, there is always a FLEET available in the EVE University. It is a great part of being in a corporation. However, being part of a fleet means knowing a few basics.
**[[EVE University Consolidated Information]]  
+
* Fleet Commands and understanding Fleets- Read this: [[Fleets (CORE class)]] This can make the difference in losing or keeping a ship sometimes when [[Suicide ganking|gankers]] come around to cause havoc.
**[http://www.eveuniversity.org EVE University Website]
+
* Obeying EVE University's [[EVE University Rules|Rules of Engagement]], when roaming or on fleets is a great way to make sure you are able to participate in all kinds of fleets and outings.

*Note: This step may not be possible for applicants relocating to Aldrat or awaiting role cool down until you are fully accepted into the University
+
With the exception of our Wormhole Community, our communities do not have an application or skill requirement. So, please join in at any of the activities that you wish to.
*'''Navigate to''': [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=76 Hi and Bye forum]
 
*Make a post in the Hi and Bye forum and let us know you better.
 
*This is a requirement to obtain the [[Titles Within EVE University#Freshman|Freshman]] status.
 
*Please note that most "Hi" postings won't get a reply from anyone (this is normal) unless you post something that someone else finds interesting or relates to.

=== Wormhole Community (WHC) ===
 +
[[File:WHClogo.png|left|70px]] The '''[[Wormhole Community]]''' focuses on living in [[wormholes|wormhole space]], and dedicated to educating students about [[Living in Wormhole Space|wormhole life]]. The Wormhole Community is currently based in J211936, a C2 wormhole with hisec and C3 static connections; giving easy access to known space for logistics, and to higher class w-space for PvP and PvE. Wormhole space is one of the most hostile - but also one of the most lucrative - areas of space in EVE. For more information, visit the [[Wormhole Community]] page.
  
*'''Read''': [[EVE University Rules|EVE&nbsp;University&nbsp;Rules]] &amp; [[Wartime Standard Operating Procedures]]

=== Incursion Community ===
 +
[[File:Incursionlogo.png|left|70px]]The '''[[EVE University Incursion Community]]''' works together to introduce students and alumni to that area of the game, and runs sites as a cohesive group. The community primarily focuses on running short-ranged, stationary shield fleets in Vanguard sites, and has a doctrine that is very forgiving for lower skill-point and cheaper hulls often associated with E-UNI students. For more information, visit the [[EVE University Incursion Community]] page.

While some roles in Incursions can be performed by players of all skill levels, please see their specific [[EVE University Incursion Community#Requirements|requirements]] listings.
*Configuring your overview to the University standard is a great learning process about your overview.
 
*University Standard Overviews are '''required''' for fleet operations.
 
*The other thing required for fleet operations is reading and understanding the [[The Rookie's Guide To Fleet Ops]]

[[File:Orientation Logo.png|left|80px]] Got questions, ask anyone in the '''[[Orientation Department]]''', on [[Discord]] or in [[Mumble]]. They are here to help you get settled in your chosen community or even help you with general game play questions you might have. Don't worry about asking 'stupid' questions - we have heard them all before and won't judge you! If you are new to the game, you should also consider applying for a mentor to help get you started. Orientation will help you with this process as well and even answer your questions if you have a wait for a mentor!

If you need help from a particular department, there is a list of '''[[EVE University Management]]''' here showing who is responsible for each department. Most departments also have their own Wiki page for a list of staff you can reach out to. However, if you have a problem with that department, please make sure to talk to the Manager of that department for a resolution.

== Helping EVE University ==
 +
EVE University does not have any 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. It may not seem like you know a lot about EVE Online at the moment, but you almost certainly know more already than some other players who have been playing for less time than you. We really appreciate any members helping others out, no matter how new you are to the game. If you'd like some ideas on how you can give back to EVE University and help out other members, see [[Helping EVE University]].

+
[[Category:EVE University]]
 
 
*'''Moving In:''' Once you have settled in, a lot of Unistas tend to move into the Metropolis region, or Aldrat itself. You do not ''have'' to move here - you can usually attend classes from anywhere in the galaxy - however the corp hangars&nbsp;are located here and this is where most of our practical activities take place.<br>
 
*Be mindful when travelling with cargo haulers - especially when moving through low security (0.1 - 0.4) and null security (0.0) systems.
 
*DO&nbsp;NOT go AFK at gates in such systems - they are very dangerous and there is a high likelihood you will lose your possessions.
 
*TIP:&nbsp;If you set 'Aldrat' as your Autopilot destination, you can adjust the Autopilot settings to avoid low and null security systems - while the journey may be a little longer, it will be a lot safer.&nbsp; You can access Autopilot settings by opening your Map screen [F10] and then selecting the Autopilot tab &gt;&nbsp;Settings.<br>
 
*'''Wartime Hauling''' If you have decided that you really want to move to Aldrat then you must consider that hauling your stuff in will be very dangerous, especially once you reach Hek, and then into the "pipeline" to Aldrat. Many a new Unista have lost their assets moving through this area.  It is highly recommended that you either wait (and just show up with a PvP fit frigate, don't worry, we'll supply you with stuff) or if you need you can find an OOC (Out of Corp) [[Creating_an_Alt_Hauler|hauling alt]] (many Unistas have hauling alts) to help you move stuff.
 
 
 
== <br> <font size="3">'''Step 9:''' Review the Consolidated Information Page</font> ==
 
 
 
*Please take the time to review the page: [[EVE University Consolidated Information]].
 
*It is meant to introduce you to the programs &amp; information you'll need to get the most out of your time at the University.
 
 
 
== <br> <font size="3">'''Step 10:''' Attend a Class</font>==
 
* Take a look at our [http://calendar.eveuniversity.org/ Calendar] and plan to attend classes that you find interesting.
 
* Browse the [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=72 Class Forum Section] to read about upcoming classes that have not yet been scheduled, or to indicate your interest in a particular subject.
 
* Miss a class? EVE University records nearly every class and hosts it in our [[EVE University Class Library|Class Library]].

= Frequently Asked Questions =
 
 
 
{{FAQ Simple
 
|Question= War? War? What does that mean to me?
 
|Answer= When EVE University is at war we implememt a set of rules, guidelines and procedures known as the [[WSOP]].
 
 
 
The basics are explained below:
 
* '''What is a wardec?''' It means you can and will get shot in any system of any security level and anytime without repercussions.
 
* '''What are the uni wartime rules?''' In summary: Activities such as mining, missioning, exploring, ratting, and hauling can be  risky.  Be careful. More specifically, see [[WSOP]] and [[Tips For War]].
 
* '''When can I undock?''' WSOP states anytime there is not a lockdown you may undock. If you want to be safe, it's recommended to check there are no wartargets in local, log into Mumble, and form in a fleet (even if just yourself) before you undock. Look at local chat member list to check for wartargets (Recognizable by the red background, white star icon). Monitor LiveIntel.ILN (check bulletins), heed and pay attention to Travel Advisories and ask in appropriate channels (Mess.ILN and in Mumble Combat Lounge) if it's safe for you to travel to Aldrat. Travel as fast as possible (warp to zero, no AFK/autopilot travelling!) and dock up instantly if you see a wartarget appear in local.
 
* '''What is a Travel Advisory?''' Management and ILN officers will often issue a "Travel Advisory", which means NOBODY should (they are not "orders" but being undocked solo and/or conducting PvE activities in the indicated areas is extremely dangerous) undock from any station or any system in EVE for the systems, areas, or regions indicated unless you are in/joining a combat fleet. DO NOT undock until you get orders from your Fleet Commander to undock from the specific station you are located in. Travel Advisories are usually posted in Alliance mail. Make sure you read your mails (both corp/alliance) when you log in to know if there's a Travel Advisory active at a given moment in time. "I missed the mail" is no excuse for losing your ship in an area under a Travel Advisory. Travel advisories expire after 1 hour.
 
* '''Isn't that restictive?''' Yes, but this is designed to allow you to understand the risks involved in undocking solo and/or for PvE activity during wartime, and to minimize unnecessary losses to yourself. Rest assured that these rules have been developed over a period of seven years and are in your best interests!
 
* '''What happens if I break these rules?''' Our [[WSOP]] does allow you a fair amount of flexibility and for certain ship types, fits, and activities we let you determine your own risk understanding that should you suffer a loss that is contrary or violates other Must do's and don'ts to what's outlined in the [[WSOP]] then you can read what you can [[Student_Guidance_Department#I_screwed_up_with_the_WSOP._What_can_I_expect.3F|expect here]].

{{FAQ Simple
 
|Question= How do the classes and events work?
 
|Answer= Classes and events are posted in the forums by an instructor or organiser in the [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=158 Events & Education forum]. They can also be seen on the [http://calendar.eveuniversity.org/ out-of-game calendar], as well as the in-game corp calendar, which can be found by clicking the button at the bottom left of your game window, beneath the Undock icon on your neocom.  The in-game calendar can also be used to confirm or decline attendance.
 
[[File:Calendar.jpg]]
 
 
 
You can also find this calendar on [https://gate.eveonline.com EVE Gate], where you can view EVE University events and confirm attendance without logging in to the game.  You can also check your eve-mail there!
 
 
 
Most classes are presented by voice using Mumble. They may involve working as a fleet and may require you to be logged in. The chat channel class.e-uni is used for questions, links and other text based feedback.
 
}}
 
 
 
{{FAQ Simple
 
|Question= Apparently I should get a 'jump clone'. What are they, and where can I get them?
 
|Answer= All pilots in EVE have a 'medical clone' which acts as a 'respawn point' when your capsule or 'pod' is destroyed.
 
 
 
There is a second type of clone you may purchase, known as a jump clone, which is a spare body for your pilot where, when docked, you can 'jump' your consciousness into the jump clone, wherever it is in EVE, and then use it as you would your previous body. Your previous body then becomes a jump clone which you can return to in the same way.
 
 
 
Additional details and locations for corporate jump clone services can be found in the [[Jump Clones| Jump Clone Guide]].
 
}}
 
 
 
{{FAQ Simple
 
|Question= Everyone is saying o/ or o7, what do they mean?
 
|Answer= o/ is a person waving hello or goodbye. o7 is a person saluting. There is also a handy [[Eve Lexicon|lexicon]] on the wiki which contains a list of the common acronyms and terms used in EVE.
 
}}
 
 
 
{{FAQ Simple
 
|Question= Where can I ask questions?
 
|Answer= When you are in game, most questions can be answered by other members in the "Chat.E-Uni" channel, or if you prefer a quieter dedicated channel we have "Q&A.E-UNI" and out of game you can post questions on the [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/ forums], which are very well frequented by both current members and former members.
 
 
 
A more detailed list of available chat channels and mailing lists is available in the corporate bulletins.
 
}}
 
 
 
{{FAQ Simple
 
|Question= The University is a large corporation, how do I meet fellow members with similar interests?
 
|Answer= The first place to look would be in various [[Chat Channels and Mailing Lists|chat channels]]. Exploration.E-UNI is the channel for exploration, from scanning to wormholes. Industry.E-UNI is the channel mining, research, production and marketing. Missions.E-UNI is the channel for mission and incursion runners. Mess.ILN is the channel for PVPers and those interested in fleet command.
 
 
 
There are also different channels on our Mumble server. There is the Public Lounge, various on-demand channels which users can create, and fleet operation channels.
 
}}
 
 
 
{{FAQ Simple
 
|Question= I have negative standing with the Amarr/Caldari/Gallente/Minmatar faction, is that going to be a problem?
 
|Answer= If your standings with an empire faction go below -5, you will not be able to enter their space without being shot. We usually recommend declining empire faction kill missions to avoid being in this situation. Having -5 or below standings with an empire faction can cause problems during war fleets, lowsec patrols, wormhole ops, and many other circumstances.
 
 
 
When you have -2 or below standing with a faction, only the Level 1 agents will be available to grind standings, which could be a lengthy process.
 
 
 
You can check mission information before accepting or declining on [http://eve-survival.org/wikka.php?wakka=MissionReports EVE Survival].
 
}}
 
 
 
{{FAQ Simple
 
|Question= Should I join Faction Warfare?
 
|Answer= The Advanced Warfare tutorial gives a Letter of Recommendation which new players can use to join the militia without having to grind standings. However, if you join the NPC militia, or any other player-run Faction Warfare corporation, you will no longer be a member of EVE University.

E-UNI Emblem.png This page is specific to EVE University. Other corporations or groups in the game may operate differently.
For a summary of EVE University's rules and code of conduct, see EVE University Rules.

Welcome to EVE University. If you are reading this, you must be new to EVE University, or possibly a returning member. This page is here to help guide you to information on how to make a smooth transition to Uni, and the game as well. As a member of EVE University, you are able to utilize several features not available to outside players.

E-UNI.png

Getting Started in EVE University

  • Mumble is our main choice for Voice Communication. Please install and set up Mumble. Follow the instructions here.
  • Discord is our main source of communication outside of the game and how we 'ping' people for fleets, classes and other activities in EVE University.
  • EVE University Forum This is where we post details about events, fleets and other important happenings within Uni.
  • EVE University Overview The overview helps you to see things relevant to you, in and around New Eden, for both PvP and PvE gameplay and help to keep your screen functional and organized.
  • Short Skill Plan The 'SSP' is a small set of skills that will get you started in EVE uni quicker and more efficiently. This includes taking part in fleets.
  • Avoid Losses to War Targets EVE University sometimes finds itself at war. Read over this to get the very basics of how to avoid dying to war targets.
  • Creating an Alt Hauler Creating an alt hauler is only one way to help prevent losses to War Targets.

Please note that you can find Corporation Events/Fleets in game by accessing the Corporation Calendar. To do this, simply click on the time display (at the bottom left of your screen) in EVE Online and it should pop right up for you to check what you can do with your Corpmates today!

Chat channels and their uses

We have various different chat channels and we understand that these can be a bit daunting for new members. The most important ones are summarised below.

  • The "Corp" channel is used to request skillbook reimbursement and to request items from our hangars.
  • The "Alliance" channel is used for forming and announcing fleets, classes or events happening soon. If you have questions about the announcement, PM the person who made the announcement.

The below channels are password protected.

  • The "Questions (EVE Uni)" channel is a chat-free question and answer channel. You can ask any type of questions here, and since there is no chat it may be easier to get an answer. The password can be found here.
  • The "Intel (EVE Uni)" channel is our channel for reporting intel on war targets.

Other channels can be found here EVE University Chat Channels. Feel free to join any of the chat channels which cover an area you are interested in.

Progression Titles in EVE Uni

As you learn and grow in EVE University, you may find that you want to do more. You can work towards our Freshman, Sophomore and Graduate titles. These indicate how far along EVE Uni's path you have traveled, and give you a sense of achievement, along with some in-corp perks.

  • Titles within EVE University Each title has perks with it. With the ultimate goal of becoming a GRADUATE.
  • Community Content Initiative As the name implies, the focus of the program will be "content generation" (i.e., activities) spread around multiple "communities" and/or areas of space.

Understanding Fleets

No matter what kind of ship you fly, or the Community you live at, there is always a FLEET available in the EVE University. It is a great part of being in a corporation. However, being part of a fleet means knowing a few basics.

  • Fleet Commands and understanding Fleets- Read this: Fleets (CORE class) This can make the difference in losing or keeping a ship sometimes when gankers come around to cause havoc.
  • Obeying EVE University's Rules of Engagement, when roaming or on fleets is a great way to make sure you are able to participate in all kinds of fleets and outings.

Community Life

With the exception of our Wormhole Community, our communities do not have an application or skill requirement. So, please join in at any of the activities that you wish to.

Main Community (Uni Headquarters)

The Main Community in Stacmon is our main staging area for the Uni. "The Quad" being our main staging structure for most Uni Events.

Within a few jumps radius of Stacmon, you can find areas in which to mine, run missions, participate in PVP, and there will be other corpmates engaging in those activities that you can join up with.

Wormhole Community (WHC)

The Wormhole Community focuses on living in wormhole space, and dedicated to educating students about wormhole life. The Wormhole Community is currently based in J211936, a C2 wormhole with hisec and C3 static connections; giving easy access to known space for logistics, and to higher class w-space for PvP and PvE. Wormhole space is one of the most hostile - but also one of the most lucrative - areas of space in EVE. For more information, visit the Wormhole Community page.

The Freshman title and some basic skills and ships are required to join the Wormhole Community.

Incursion Community

The EVE University Incursion Community works together to introduce students and alumni to that area of the game, and runs sites as a cohesive group. The community primarily focuses on running short-ranged, stationary shield fleets in Vanguard sites, and has a doctrine that is very forgiving for lower skill-point and cheaper hulls often associated with E-UNI students. For more information, visit the EVE University Incursion Community page.

While some roles in Incursions can be performed by players of all skill levels, please see their specific requirements listings.

Feeling a bit lost?

We know that this is a lot of information when you first join, so please don't panic! Bookmark this wiki page so you can refer back to it later. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the Questions (EVE Uni) channel.

Orientation Department

Got questions, ask anyone in the Orientation Department, on Discord or in Mumble. They are here to help you get settled in your chosen community or even help you with general game play questions you might have. Don't worry about asking 'stupid' questions - we have heard them all before and won't judge you! If you are new to the game, you should also consider applying for a mentor to help get you started. Orientation will help you with this process as well and even answer your questions if you have a wait for a mentor!

Management Support

E-UNI.png

If you need help from a particular department, there is a list of EVE University Management here showing who is responsible for each department. Most departments also have their own Wiki page for a list of staff you can reach out to. However, if you have a problem with that department, please make sure to talk to the Manager of that department for a resolution. However, if it is a personal problem, player to player, contact our Student Advocate whose role is to mediate disputes between members and bring any necessary matters to the attention of EVE University management.

Helping EVE University

EVE University does not have any 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. It may not seem like you know a lot about EVE Online at the moment, but you almost certainly know more already than some other players who have been playing for less time than you. We really appreciate any members helping others out, no matter how new you are to the game. If you'd like some ideas on how you can give back to EVE University and help out other members, see Helping EVE University.
