=== General Rules ===

* Members are expected to join the in-game HQ standing fleet if they are mining or planning on mining in any of the high-sec stagings, except for Shared Cans, which may operate out of separate fleets. Furthermore, participating in the HQ Standing fleet on ~~Mumble~~ is highly encouraged for faster voice communication.

* Members are expected to join the in-game HQ standing fleet if they are mining or planning on mining in any of the high-sec stagings, except for Shared Cans, which may operate out of separate fleets. Furthermore, participating in the HQ Standing fleet on Discord is highly encouraged for faster voice communication.

* EVE University treats Moon Ore belts no differently than any other Asteroid Ore belts in New Eden. However, if the owner of an Athanor directly asks you to leave, please avoid unnecessary conflict.

=== Structure Owner Expectations ===

* If you deploy a structure and invite Uni members to mine it, '''you are solely responsible for all fuel, upkeep, and defense'''

* You may not ask for, encourage, or imply any form of payment from Uni members in exchange for access — including taxes, tips, fuel contributions, or donations.

* What you request or receive from non-Uni members is outside the scope of EVE University rules.

* If you cannot afford to run or defend a structure without Uni member support, you should not deploy one.

=== Tips and Payments ===

* ~~Tipping should neither~~ be ~~asked nor expected. If tips are given for any reason~~, ~~they need not be returned~~.

* ~~Just as we do not enforce payment~~ from ~~players who mine from our own belts after they spawn,~~ EVE University ~~does not impose~~ any ~~mandatory payment obligations.~~

* '''No payments, fees, taxes, or tips (or anything that could be implied as such) from Uni members may be requested or implied by structure owners, fleet boosters, or fleet organizers.'''

* While a corporation may own the structure operating the drill, ~~miners are not formally required~~ or ~~obligated to provide tips for the ore they extract~~.

* Uni members mining from any structure — whether owned by EVE University or a member — do so '''without any obligation to pay''', including “optional,” “suggested,” or “voluntary” contributions.

* If ~~a structure owner initiates a discussion about taxes in the local chat~~, ~~it is advisable~~ not to engage directly ~~but to~~ report the matter to ~~community coordinators~~ for ~~resolution~~.

* If anyone asks for or implies payment, miners should '''not engage directly'''. Instead, report the matter to Community Coordinators for review and action.

* ~~Incidents or disputes related to taxes will be addressed individually~~, ~~with a focus on diplomatic communication~~ and ~~resolution~~.

* This policy protects newer players, reduces pressure, and ensures Uni mining remains fair, supportive, and educational.

=== Fleets ===

* Fleet Commanders for Shared Can Fleets, as in any other fleet, shall have final authority over the fleet members and interpretation of mining guidelines.
