== The Skillbook Program ==
The Uni provides skillbooks for free up to the value of 1 million isk for all members.


'''We do not provide full or partial compensation for skillbooks whose cost is greater than 1 million isk.''' This means that if you buy a skillbook worth 1,000,001 isk, you cannot get any reimbursement on it.
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.

A selection of donated skillbooks are provided for free in the skillbook containers in the Hangars.  If you do not have access, simply ask a Uni member to grab one for you. If the skillbook you are looking for is not available then any E-UNI pilot with the 'Student' title may transfer the money to you from the corporate Skillbook Wallet. Simply ask (politely!) in Corp Chat if someone with that title is free to help you.

=== Using the skillbook Wallet ===
= Members with no title: Starter Skillbook Bundles =
If a new player needs a skillbook, and one is not available in the hangars, we have created a skillbook wallet division to help. First, buy the skillbook and give it to the new player. Then, get reimbursed from the wallet. Or simply transfer the money from the corporate account directly to the player who needs the skillbook. You can do this by rightclicking on the player, and select "Transfer corp cash" - make sure you include the name of the skill and transfer exactly the amount it costs. You'll need to have a corporate wallet division set up to do this. See below on how to set up a corporate wallet division.
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:


=== Setting up the wallet ===
:1. Dock at "Korsiki – Horizon"
First, access the wallet
: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)

== 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:


Click the Corp Wallet Button
* 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.
* We take "per day" to mean the twenty-four hour period from one downtime (11:00 EVE time) to the next.
** 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

== Checking skillbook prices ==


Click the "Change Division" button in the upper right and change to "Eve University Skillbooks"
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.]]

== Obtaining reimbursement ==


When the division says "Eve University Skillbooks" at the top of the corporate wallet, you can "Take Money" and grab whatever you need to reimburse yourself. Please leave a reason stating what skillbook and who it was for.
Members who have the [[Student title]] should reimburse themselves directly from the skillbook wallet. The procedure is as follows:
 
:1. Ensure that the skillbook qualifies for reimbursement under the above rules
::''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.''
: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.
:3. Open your Wallet from the Neocom: [[File:Wallet.png|32px]]
:4. At the top left select the {{co|wheat|Corporation Wallet}} tab. Ensure that your active wallet division is EVE University Skillbooks.
:5. At the top right click the {{co|wheat|Withdraw ISK}} button.
:6. A box will pop up, which asks for an amount and a reason.
::''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.''
::{{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.
 
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.
