__NOTOC__Members of [[Eve University]] benefit from '''The Skillbook Program''', providing vital [[skillbooks]] up to a value of 1 million ISK. Skillbooks are available in the [[Corporation Hangar]], or reimbursement to purchase the skillbook may be issued through the Skillbook Wallet.

= The Skillbook Program =
Members of [[EVE University]] have access to one of two skillbook programs depending on what titles they have. The Skillbook Reimbursement program allows members with the student title to obtain reimbursement for up to three and a half million ISK of skillbooks per day. Members without the student title have access to the Starter Skillbook Bundles which provides most of the skillbooks used in the [[E-Uni Basics Skill Plan|Basic]] and [[E-Uni CORE Skill Plans|Core 30/60]] skillplans.

== Skillbooks from Hangars ==
<center>''YOUR  allowable daily withdrawal is UP TO 3.5M ISK per day (downtime to downtime)''</center>'''</big></span style>
Members with [[Freshman]] status or greater are encouraged to check the corporation hangars when looking for skillbooks. The skillbook containers are refreshed periodically, and hold the vast majority of common skills.


Members may take one of each required skillbooks that they can use, but must ensure they follow the normal corp hangar process and ensure any stacks are re-locked. Skillbooks may also be provided to other members who do not currently have hangar access, however excessive usage of this may lead to investigation.
= Members with no title: Starter Skillbook Bundles =
Members who don't yet have any [[titles]] within EVE University can use our Starter Skillbook Bundles instead. The procedure to claim them is as follows:


It should go without saying that skillbooks provided are not for resale, and like any other E-UNI service, abuse of this may lead to your [The Departed|dismissal].
:1. Dock at "Korsiki – Horizon"
:2. Open Neocom → Finance → Contracts → Contract Search
:3. Set Filters
::''Item Type: Caldari Shuttle''
::''Location: Current Station''
::''Contract Type: All''
::''Item Category: All''
::''Availability: My Corporation''
:4. Look for "Skillbooks in Cargo. Basic + Core Plan" (Caldari Shuttle)
:5. Accept 1 contract → open the shuttle's cargo → right-click and inject your books
:6. Return any skillbooks you didn't consume to the Donations Can (Inventory → Corporations Hangar → Donations and Loot)


To request a skillbook from the hangar, simply ask in the Corp chat channel. Where at all possible, please [[Auto Link]] the skillbook.

== Rules and restrictions of the Program ==
In order to ensure we have enough to go around, we impose some restrictions. Members should ensure that they follow these rules when obtaining reimbursement:


== Skillbook Wallet ==
* Members can claim reimbursement up to a total of three and a half million (3,500,000) ISK per day, although this can be over several skillbooks.
Members with [[Student]] status or greater are provided with access to the "Skillbook Wallet" corporation wallet. This allows members to reimburse the cost of skillbooks when the hangars are not accessible.
* We take "per day" to mean the twenty-four hour period from downtime to downtime (11:00 - 10:59 EVE time).
** The 24 hour limit resets each day and is not cumulative.
* Each skillbook must individually cost 3,500,000 ISK or less. We do not partially reimburse higher value skillbooks.
** Skillbooks with an NPC seeded price over 3,500,000 ISK are not eligible for reimbursement.
* Skillbooks can be reimbursed at either the <em>NPC seeded</em> market price, or at the <em>Remote Injection</em> price via the skill queue, provided the total is less than 3,500,000 ISK.
** If you purchase a skillbook that is listed at a different price than the <em>NPC seeded</em> price, you will receive reimbursement at the <em>NPC seeded</em> price, regardless of the amount you spent.
**Certain skillbooks are not available via <em>Remote Injection</em> nor via <em>NPC seeded</em> market listings, such as the Precursor ([[Triglavian_Collective|Triglavian]]) skillbooks. Despite these books sometimes costing under 3,500,000 ISK on the open market, they are <i>not</i> eligible for reimbursement.
** Do note that there are a handful of skillbooks that cost under 3,500,000 ISK at the <em>NPC seeded</em> market price, but cost more than the limit when purchased directly via <em>Remote Injection</em> from the skill queue.
*** If these skillbooks are purchased via <em>Remote Injection</em>, they may be reimbursed at the <em>NPC seeded</em> market price.
* Members should claim reimbursement for skills they intend to use immediately.
* Members may only claim reimbursement for skillbooks purchased while they are in EVE University, not before they joined or after they leave.
* Members may only claim reimbursement for skillbooks used by their characters in EVE University. We do not reimburse skillbooks for [[alternate characters]]. Skillbooks for [[Applying_to_EVE_University#Adding_Additional_Characters|alternate characters within the Uni proper]] is permitted, and the 3,500,000 ISK limit is per character.
** If you are reimbursing a skillbook for an additional character, skillbook reimbursement ''must'' be withdrawn by the character that is training the purchased skill.
* If you make a mistake with the skillbook wallet, you can report it to any Manager or Director


Rules for Reimbursement:
== Checking skillbook prices ==
# '''Skillbooks are reimbursed at NPC seeded prices only.''' These can be identified on the market as sell orders with 364 day expiry. If the skillbook in question is not NPC seeded, then it is not covered by this program.
# '''There is no reimbursement for skillbooks of 1 Million ISK or greater.''' Similarly, there is no partial reimbursement for any skills.
# '''Members may receive reimbursement for one skillbook per day.''' For tracking purposes, this is 00:00 - 23:59 Eve time. Any more fequent will lead to an investigation.


Where possible, members should check the corporation hangars prior to using the skillbook wallet.
You can look at the [[Skillbook Program Seeded Price]] page for a list of skillbook prices, or look it up yourself ingame through the [[Neocom#Regional Market|Regional Market]] or by either right-clicking a skillbook or through the '''Show Info''' window and selecting '''View Market Details'''. For the market price, make sure that it is the <em>NPC-seeded</em> price you're looking at and not player offers.<ul style="margin:0px;"><li style="border:none; vertical-align:top; display:inline-block;">
[[File:identifying_npc_sellers.png|500px|thumb|left|You can easily verify that it is an <em>NPC sell order</em> by the fact it expires in several hundred days, like the orders marked in {{co|lightgreen|green}}, where as players are limited to 90 days (3 months). Those NPC sell orders are also placed exclusively from educational places like '''Academies''', '''Schools''' and '''Universities''' as seen by the locations marked in {{co|lightskyblue|blue}}.]]
</li><li style="border:none; vertical-align:top; display:inline-block;">
[[File:reimbursement_marketprice_only.png|500px|thumb|left|Here's an example of a skill, in this case {{sk|Large Hybrid Turret}}, that has a (NPC) '''market price''' of 3,000,000 ISK but a '''direct''' price of 3,900,000 ISK. You'll be unable to claim the '''direct''' price of 3,900,000 ISK marked in {{co|crimson|red}} since it's above that limit, but you are still able to claim the '''market price''' of 3,000,000 ISK marked in {{co|lightgreen|green}} as it's still within the limit.]]

= How it Works =
== Obtaining reimbursement ==


== Members with Freshman or no Title ==
Members who have the [[Student title]] should reimburse themselves directly from the skillbook wallet. The procedure is as follows:


=== Requesting Reimbursement ===
:1. Ensure that the skillbook qualifies for reimbursement under the above rules
# Ensure that the skillbook is NPC seeded, and costs less than 1 million ISK.
::''I.e. it can be bought from an NPC seller on the market or directly through the skill queue for 3.5 million ISK or less.''
## Open the market window, change the range to "Region" and select the "Search" tab.
:2. Ensure that you have a sufficient amount of your 3.5 million ISK total daily allowance remaining to cover the cost of the skillbook.
## Enter part of the name, and click "Search"
:3. Open your Wallet from the Neocom: [[File:Wallet.png|32px]]
## Select the skillbook, and click the "Details" tab.
:4. At the top left select the {{co|wheat|Corporation Wallet}} tab. Ensure that your active wallet division is EVE University Skillbooks.
## 'NPC Seeded' skillbooks all have an expiry of 364 days, and the same price listed at various locations.
:5. At the top right click the {{co|wheat|Withdraw ISK}} button.
# Ask in Corp chat for reimbursement of the skillbook, ensure you [[Auto Link]] the name.
:6. A box will pop up, which asks for an amount and a reason.
# Wait patiently for someone to notice the request - give it at least 5 minutes before requesting again.
::''For the amount enter the total amount of all the skillbooks you are requesting reimbursement for. In the reason field put the names of the skillbooks. If the full names don't fit you can abbreviate them, provided the skillbook is still recognisable.''
# You will receive the ISK directly into your wallet. You can then purchase the skillbook.
::{{co|yellow|For example:}}
::''Therm Shield Comp (for Thermal Shield Compensation)''
:7. Select {{co|wheat|OK}} and the ISK will be added to your personal wallet.


== Members with Students or Greater Titles ==
If the skillbook wallet does not contain enough ISK to fulfill your request, please let a Manager or Director know by pinging a message in our #support channel in discord. Please do not make any donation into the skillbook wallet directly.
 
=== Personal Reimbursement ===
# Open your wallet window and swap to the Corporation Wallet tab.
# Ensure the active wallet division is "Skillbook Wallet". If not, click "Change Division".
# Click "Take Money" and enter the exact NPC seeded price of the skillbook in the Amount box.
# Under reason, enter the name of the specific skillbook in question.
# Double check the information entered!
# Click OK, and the ISK will be transferred to your personal wallet.
 
=== Reimbursing Other Members ===
# Open your wallet window and swap to the Corporation Wallet tab.
# Ensure the active wallet division is "Skillbook Wallet". If not, click "Change Division".
# Click "Transfer Money" and enter the name of the E-UNI member in the box. Click the (i) and Show Info to ensure you have the right person!
# Enter the exact NPC seeded price of the skillbook in the Amount box.
# Under reason, enter the name of the specific skillbook.
