Join EVE University: Difference between revisions

Welcome! If you've arrived here you're (presumably!) looking to join [[Eve University]], [[New Eden]]'s oldest and best known educational institution. Our [[List of Personnel Officers|Personnel Officers]] (POs) do their work unpaid out of goodwill, so we ask that you make their job easier and don't waste their time by following all of the steps below. Particularly note the further information linked in Step 8 for when Eve University is at war, which can be quite often.  

Please note that Eve University operates [[Public channel policies|strict policies]] prohibiting profanity and abusive or sexual content within its official chat channels and these rules extend to your character name. If your name is deemed potentially offensive by your PO you may be asked to change it or rejected outright.

'''***IMPORTANT***''' Completing the steps below is a ''requirement'' of a successful application, ''it'' ''is not a guarantee that your application will be successful''. Eve University retains the right to reject any applicant at any point during the process. If you are rejected, '''you will not be told the reason why! '''This is because it would be far too easy for an applicant to re-try the process with a new character were they to be told exactly where they went wrong. This is an unfortunate necessity and is common practice in EVE.

*In the new window, right click on the top entry for '''"Eve University"''' (ignore the rest) and select '''"Show Info"'''.

*In the new window, type a short introduction about yourself, or why you'd like to join Eve University. Click '''"OK"'''.

<br> You have now applied to Eve University. You should receive an evemail reply within 48hrs - if you haven't received a response within 72hrs please contact an PO either directly or via EVEmail informing them of the issue.  

== Step 3 - Add Eve University to Your Contacts  ==

To add Eve University to your contact list:  

*In the new window, right click on the top entry for '''"Eve University"''' (ignore the rest) and select "Add to Contacts".

*You should now see Eve University in your Contacts list.

You will be asked about our Code and Rules in your Applicant Questionnaire (Step 6), so please familiarise yourself with them -- they are important. You will be required to follow them during your time within Eve University, so please make sure you know them. Should you violate one, ignorance will not be a valid excuse and you will likely be removed from the University as a result.

Don't forget that even if you aren't a member of Eve University, you can still access all the content on the wiki here, even without a forum account or logging in! If you haven't read it already, [[Getting Started In Eve Online|Getting Started In Eve Online]] is a great place to start! Otherwise, simply use the "Search" feature to find articles of interest to you.  

Our public Channel, "E-UNI", is always available to all those who are not hostile toward us. Apart from being an area for general chat and new players to ask questions, it is also the location where new messages are posted regarding any public events in Eve University, and applicants await their turn to speak with a Personnel Officer.  

From time to time, groups declare war on Eve University. Typically, they either see us as an easy target (which is of course not the case), or feel the need to test themselves.  

During these times, recruitment procedures are modified slightly to prevent new members from becoming easy prey to the hostiles, and we use a secured chat channel where ex-, current and prospective members of Eve University can share knowledge and work together while they wait for the war to end.  

In addition to this, members can also sign up for our forums and be provided access to many of the teaching resources, or even join Eve University fully if they feel they are ready for PvP.
