| width="40%" | I think I meet all of the requirements, yet have not received my title. Is this normal?

| Yes. To hold one of the progression titles, you will need to apply for it through the Portal. A ~~titles~~ officer will then individually review it. The in-game title and its associated permissions will then have to be applied by a director.

| width="40%" | The forum says I am not in EVE University while I am. What should I do?

| The tool may just need a little more time to update. Usually most of these issues solve themselves given time, but if they don't please reach out to one of the ~~titles~~ staff.

| width="40%" | The Portal says that I have a title, but the game doesn't. Why?

| The Portal is what the ~~titles~~ staff use to manage applications. If it indicates that you hold a title, it really means that ~~titles~~ staff have approved you for that title. Now your application has moved into a different queue and is waiting for a director to actually apply the title in-game. You may still need to wait several days for a director to apply the title (sometimes longer).

| width="40%" | I'm applying for Sophomore, do I need to include a reference?

| No, but it might help. If you think that your participation in Uni activities is not well-recorded enough for ~~titles~~ officers to discover through the forums or killboard, then you may wish to include a reference that can provide them with more information. '''Including a reference is optional.'''

| width="40%" | What should someone listed as a reference expect?

| The listed reference will receive an in-game EVEmail or an out-of-game ~~forum PM~~ from a ~~titles~~ officer, asking them what they know about the applicant relevant to the applied-for title. This may mean asking your reference questions about how you engage with other people in the uni, what your in-game activity is like, and the kind of expertise you have in a specific area of gameplay, amongst other things. Whatever response they provide will be taken into account by the ~~titles~~ officer evaluating the application.

'''How does Titles Staff evaluate my Sophomore application?'''

Titles Staff checks these three components for all Sophomore applicants: wiki, forums, and killboard, because they are easily evaluated without you (the applicant) having to do much. However, lots of students participate in a variety of other activities that aren’t easily tracked by the game or the EVE University servers. Incursions, AMC~~, and Solitude~~ are examples of PvE activities that can be hard for Titles Staff to evaluate (although there is no reason why participating in those campuses wouldn’t lead to activity in the wiki, forums, and killboard). In these cases we can rely on references. If you feel that you are active in some way that we won’t be able to assess, then in the text of your application give us some names of individuals that can vouch for your activities. These people could be Mentors, Campus Officers, or other students that hold the Graduate Title. Titles Staff will contact them and ask them about your ‘active participation.’

Contribution to the wiki shows participation, but it isn’t for everyone. If you are actively participating in the EVE University forums, that goes a long way, too. Titles Staff does not just count how many posts you have, we read most of them (that’s right)! Saying hello, thanking people for teaching a class, putting in requests for LSC and NSC shipments are fine, but they aren’t considered ‘active participation.’ Getting involved in discussions in a real, meaningful way is what we look for. That being said, trying to over think whether your forum activity ‘counts’ or not and second-guessing every post probably isn’t a good approach. We also examine your EVE University killboard. It is a way to measure your activity in the PvP aspect of the game. We look at the frequency patterns in your kills and losses, we examine your losses for fits and for comments. We expect to see an improvement over time (comments should demonstrate what you learned from a loss, and we should see your fits improve over time, too).

Line 121:

'''How does Titles Staff evaluate my Graduate application?'''

The Titles Staff does a deep review of your wiki contributions and your body of work as represented by your forum posts and killboard searching for the Graduate qualification aspects . Just as with Sophomore, if there are activities in which you engage that would demonstrate the key aspects which we look for in Graduate applicants, but which are not reflected in those areas, then you need to tell us about them in your application, and provide references, if needed.

Just as with Sophomore, if there are activities in which you engage that would demonstrate the key aspects which we look for in Graduate applicants, but which are not reflected in those areas, then you need to tell us about them in your application, and provide references, if needed.

The Graduate applicant should demonstrate that they have mastered a range of aspects of EVE gameplay and mechanics. You aren’t expected to know everything about EVE, but you should be extremely knowledgeable about several areas of EVE gameplay.

Line 147:

| Yes. Please specify your last character's name in your title application, and the title from your last character will be applied to your new one. In the case of Graduate, only the title will be reapplied.

| width="40%" | I currently hold either Freshman/Sophomore/Graduate on one Uni character, how can I get the same progression title across my [[Alternate_characters|additional characters]]?

| To get your progression title awarded to your uni alts, you need to make sure that your alt is [[Applying_to_EVE_University#Linking_Alt_Characters|linked]] to your main character on the Portal, and then apply for the titles that your main character holds separately.
