Mentors are volunteers who want to give back to EVE University by helping new players get off to a good start in EVE. They are experienced players who have been selected based on their qualifications and ability. Mentors assist their assigned capsuleers through EVE mail exchanges, Mumble discussions, Discord chats, and/or in-game exercises where appropriate.

Mentors are ~~[[Mentors List|~~chosen]] by their applicants, or assigned procedurally to applicants based on:

Mentors are chosen by their applicants, or assigned procedurally to applicants based on:

* Compatible times of play, to make it easier to connect in the game.

* Similar areas of interest and experience in the game for the mentee and Mentor, ~~respectively.~~

* Similar areas of interest and experience in the game for the mentee and Mentor, respe

** A mentor's experience in a subject is also weighted, to ensure that you can get an expert in a particular field of interest.

* Availability of Mentors relative to the number of applicants.

* The language you and an available mentor have in common for ease of communication and translation of concepts.

* A weighted average of all of the above based on your personal preference of how important certain parts of your match are (Skillset, Playtimes, Language).

Once started, '''{{co|white|mentorships last for a period of three months}}''', with the option of extending your mentorship by mutual agreement of both the Mentor and their mentee. For returning players, '''{{co|white|mentorships last for a period of one month}}''', unless likewise extended by mutual agreement of both the Mentor and their mentee.

== What are the restrictions? ==

The ~~mentor program~~ is restricted to '''EVE University members''' in good standing and you must be a full and participating member of the UNI when you apply for a Mentor. Please note that if you drop from the UNI later during your mentorship, although you may continue to interact with your ~~mentor~~ while you are out of corp (if you mutually decide to do so), the official mentorship will end.

Please note that if you drop from the UNI later during your mentorship, although you may continue to interact with your Mentor while you are out of corp (if you mutually decide to do so), the official mentorship will end.

However, if you drop from the UNI during your mentorship for wartime purposes (i.e. to avoid a war), you may continue your mentorship with your ~~mentor~~ while you are out of corp, and any war-related out-of-corp mentorship will be maintained until the end of the war. If you do not return to the Uni within 7 days, the official mentorship will end.

If you do not return to the Uni within 7 days, the official mentorship will end.

While we would love to give everyone a ~~mentor~~ there are only so many ~~mentors~~ to go around. Formal mentorships are, therefore, '''not usually intended for players already well-experienced with the game (e.g. more than 4 months active playtime)''' or experienced players wishing to specialize in a particular area of the game. However, if you are an older player who is returning to the game, we ~~will accept~~ you ~~on a one-month basis~~ to help you get back up to speed. Any extensions are up to mutual agreement with your ~~mentor~~ and overall availability of ~~mentors to~~ demand.

However, if you are an older player who is returning to the game, we welcome you to apply to help you get back up to speed. Any extensions are up to mutual agreement with your Mentor and overall availability of Mentors for the demand.

Whether you are a new player or a returning one, it is suggested that you also join a community that suits your particular interests, as it will help you learn alongside ~~the lessons you can learn~~. For those who do apply to have a Mentor, ~~All~~ applications will be reviewed to ensure efficient assignment of ~~mentors~~ so please do be thorough in your application~~.
