'''Most of our classes are public! You do ''not'' need to be a member of EVE University to attend them!'''

To attend our classes, you will need to join our [[Attending_classes#Public_Discord|discord]] ~~and [[Attending_classes#Mumble|mumble]] servers~~.

To attend our classes, you will need to join our [[Attending_classes#Public_Discord|discord]] server.

Line 15:

Our class times are advertised in several places.

=== ~~EVE University forum~~ ===

=== Discord Events ===

All upcoming classes are ~~posted~~ on the "[~~https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=72 Scheduled Classes]" board of the~~ [~~https://forum.eveuniversity.org/~~ EVE University ~~forum~~]. Announcements of new classes~~, and any changes or cancellations,~~ will be ~~posted~~ there.

All upcoming classes are published on the [[EVE University Calendar]]. Announcements of new classes will be available there.

~~This board is visible~~ to ~~any visitor, but if you want~~ to ~~reply to threads there you will need~~ to ~~register for our forums first, by [[Applying_to_EVE_University#Creating_an_account_on_our_portal|registering on~~ the ~~EUNI Portal page]].~~

Do not hesitate to mark yourself interested in the event to help the teacher to gauge the number of participants !

~~The Scheduled Classes board~~ is the ~~most stable and the most publicly-accessible record of upcoming teaching~~.

This calendar is visible to any visitors who have joined the [[Discord|Discord server]], you do not need to have any special roles.

=== Discord #ping-class channel ===

Line 29:

In order to see the pings, you have to join the Class group through [https://auth.eveuniversity.org EVE University Auth].

=== ~~In-game calendar~~ ===

=== Other calendars ===

~~EVE University members will also be able~~ to ~~see upcoming classes on the in-game corporation~~ calendar~~, where each class is posted with a link to the relevant thread on the forums~~.

You can export any event in the Discord to your personal calendar. This allows anyone to add the event to their preferred calendar software on their phones, tablets, or PC.

This ~~is probably~~ the ~~easiest and most convenient way~~ to ~~keep informed of upcoming classes~~, ~~and is one good reason to [[Applying_to_EVE_University|join the University]]~~.

~~=== Other~~ calendars ~~===~~

For the moment, it's not possible to mass export the events or have a feed into your personal calendars. A solution for this inconvenience is already in the works.

E-UNI has the corporation calendar published as an iCalendar feed, which is usable on a number of other applications and systems. This allows anyone to add the feeds to their preferred calendar software on their phones, tablets, or PC. See [[EVE_University_Calendar#~~Using_the_E-UNI_Web_Calendar~~|this page]] for details on setting this up.
