**'''Freedom'''. Nobody requires you to fight, mine, mission or engage in UNI events. You can log in and play EVE as much or as little as you wish. What you do while in the UNI is up to you - all we ask is that while you are a member of the UNI, you will comply with our policies and rules. Note, however, that if you are inactive - that is, you don't log in - for more than 30 days, you will be dismissed from the UNI: [[Inactive Member Policy]] | **'''Freedom'''.

**'''Balance "self" with "service"'''. Once you get more experience in the game, you are more than welcome to join us in passing that wisdom onto others. Our community of members helping each other is what makes the UNI strong. If it was not for volunteers, there would be no EVE University. If you want to contribute but do not yet have the experience, consider editing the wiki, contributing to our forum discussions, or applying to be a Personnel Officer. | **'''Balance "self" with "service"'''.

**Wormhole Space - enter at your own risk. If you find that your only exit leads to Claimable Nullsec space, you are allowed to leave on the shortest path towards Empire space (low-sec or hi-sec), but report to the UNI Director of Public Relations, [[EVE University Management#Director_of_Public_Relations|Irdalth Delrar]] afterward.

**In Low Security Space the UNI operates under an NRDS rule of engagement - "Not Red, Don't Shoot". If it isn't flashy on your overview or standing from our alliance isn't -5 or -10, don't engage. Be aware that engaging a valid non-flashy target lowers your Security Status. | **In Low Security Space the UNI operates under an NRDS rule of engagement - "Not Red, Don't Shoot".

**In NPC 0.0 and wormhole space, the UNI operates under an NBSI rule of engagement - "Not Blue, Shoot It" - a more aggressive policy.
