Welcome! If you've arrived here you're (presumably!) looking to join [[Eve University]], [[New Eden]]'s oldest and best known educational institution. Our [[List of Personnel Officers|Personnel Officers]] (POs) do their work unpaid out of goodwill, so we ask that you make their job easier and don't waste their time by following all of the steps below. Particularly note the further information linked in Step 8 for when Eve University is at war, which can be quite often.
+
{{#show: UniWiki:EVE University Graphics|?Has EVE University logo#300px;center}}
  
The process can take several days to complete. Whilst you wait please complete the [[Tutorial and Career Agents in Eve|tutorial and career agent mission chains]]. They will provide you with ISK, ships, skillbooks and an all-important taste of the various aspects of Eve life. Completing these chains are a requirement for new players!
 
  
Please note that Eve University operates [[Public channel policies|strict policies]] prohibiting profanity and abusive or sexual content within its official chat channels and these rules extend to your character name. If your name is deemed potentially offensive by your PO you may be asked to change it or rejected outright.
 
  
'''***IMPORTANT***''' Completing the steps below is a ''requirement'' of a successful application, ''it'' ''is not a guarantee that your application will be successful''. Eve University retains the right to reject any applicant at any point during the process. If you are rejected, '''you will not be told the reason why! '''This is because it would be far too easy for an applicant to re-try the process with a new character were they to be told exactly where they went wrong. This is an unfortunate necessity and is common practice in EVE.
+
[[EVE University]] '''[E-UNI]''' is the oldest and largest in-game corporation specifically designed to train new players.  
  
 +
We offer regular [https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=158&sid=2b447aa5a3ec8a93d676c5d98d7ff8de classes, fleets, and events],  [[Mentor_Program| one-on-one mentoring]], free ships, and a variety of other services to help new players experience everything EVE has to offer. Our only mission is to help new players learn as much as possible, to prepare them for a successful career in one of EVE's many other player corporations. 
  
== Step 1 - Check your standings & security status  ==
+
You can read more about [[Welcome_to_EVE_University | what we offer here]].
  
Eve University has jump clones provided by the corporations Khanid Innovation and Wiyrkomi Peace Corps. In order to maintain our high reputation with these corps, and thus continue to use their services, new applicants must not have standings with them. To check this:
 
  
*Open your character sheet and go to the standings tab
 
*Check the '''liked by''' and '''disliked by''' tabs – Ensure that '''"Khanid Innovation"''' and '''"Wiyrkomi Peace Corps"''' is not present on '''either''' list. (Not to be confused with Wiyrkomi, Khanid Navy or other corporations with similar names!)
 
*If they are on the list you have two options:
 
**1. Grind standing to at least 8.0 by doing missions for the corporation – a very tedious and lengthy process.
 
**2. Apply with a different character that does not have standings with these corporations.
 
  
Furthermore, the University does not accept people with negative security status as a general rule. If you have negative security status (this includes -0.01) you can apply with a security neutral character or grind your security status back to a neutral state (that means 0.0 or higher).  
+
If you are looking to join EVE University, please follow the full procedure below. This will get your application entered into our short queue and ensure you have access to our services (Discord, Mumble, Forum). Please complete all steps to avoid delays with your application. Do not apply with any other characters than your main, you can get additional characters into EVE University once you are a member.
  
[[Repairing security status|Here is our guide on repairing your security status]].
 
  
== Step 2 - Submit your application  ==
 
  
To submit an application you simply need to "show info" on the corporation. To do this you must:
+
If you are a member already and want to add another character to the corporation, please check out [[#Adding_Additional_Characters | Adding additional characters]] or [[#Adding_Alt_Characters_that_are_on_different_accounts | Adding Alt Characters that are on different accounts.]]
  
*Open the '''"People & Places"''' window using the neocom button on the right-hand side of your screen and use the drop-down list at the top of the window to change your search parameters to '''"Corporation"''', then type '''"Eve University"''' into the search box and click on '''"Search"'''.
+
== An overview of the application process ==
 +
1. Download and install [[Mumble]] and [[Discord]]. These are used for voice communication during fleets, general in-corp communication and our classes.
  
<br> [[Image:Apply1b-newlogo.jpg]]  
+
2. Authorize your character in the [https://auth.eveuniversity.org EVE University Alliance Auth] system and fill out the application form. Please do not apply with any additional characters before your main character application has been processed and you have joined EVE University.
  
<br>
+
3. Wait for your application to be reviewed by an Intake Officer, this process may take up to 48 hours. While you wait, set up your [[Overview]] according to E-UNI standards.
  
*In the new window, right click on the top entry for '''"Eve University"''' (ignore the rest) and select '''"Show Info"'''.
+
4. After your application has been reviewed, you will get an in-game mail ([[EVE Mail]]) with any next steps. Most applicants will be invited to join immediately, in rare cases you may need to attend an interview.
  
<br> [[Image:Apply2-newlogo.jpg]]
 
  
<br>
+
Our staff are volunteers who enjoy playing actively just like you do. We cannot guarantee they will be processing applications while online. Please be patient, and if you have any problems, ask on Discord in #alliance-auth or #eve-uni-public-help. If you have trouble setting up Discord, feel free to reach out to our staff in our in-game chat channel ''EVE University'' or send them an in-game mail directly.
  
*You should now have a window open that displays information about Eve University. At the bottom of the window, you'll spot a button titled '''"Apply to join"''' - click on that button.
+
== Applying to join EVE University - Step-by-step Walkthrough ==
 +
<center>
 +
1 -  Before applying, download and install [[Mumble]] and [[Discord]]. If you have any problem setting them up, please contact any of our [[Intake & Progression Department| Intake Officers]] or ask for help in the #alliance-auth or #eve-uni-public-help channels on Discord. If you have trouble setting up Discord, feel free to reach out to our staff in our in-game chat channel ''EVE University'' or send them an in-game mail directly.
  
<br> [[Image:Apply3-newlogo.jpg]]
 
  
<br>
+
2 - Open the [https://auth.eveuniversity.org EVE University Alliance Auth] in your web browser. On the page shown below select 'LOG IN with EVE Online'.
 +
[[File:anotheraaloginpic.png|800px|thumb|center]]
  
*In the new window, type a short introduction about yourself, or why you'd like to join Eve University. Click '''"OK"'''.
 
  
<br> You have now applied to Eve University. You should receive an evemail reply within 48hrs - if you haven't received a response within 72hrs please contact an PO either directly or via EVEmail informing them of the issue.
 
  
 +
3  - You will then be prompted to log in using your EVE Online account details.
 +
[[File:Intakelogin .png|800px|thumb|center]]
  
== Step 3 - Add Eve University to Your Contacts  ==
 
  
This mandatory step allows us to contact you without paying the [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/EVE_mail#Communication_Settings Concord Spam Protection Act (CSPA)] fee. Failure to complete this step can result in your application being put on hold (as we cannot contact you without paying ISK).
+
4 - Check the character highlighted is the character you wish to apply to EVE University on and select Authorize.
 +
[[File:Intakecharselect.png|800px|thumb|center]]
  
To add Eve University to your contact list:
 
  
*Open the '''"People &amp; Places"''' window and use the drop-down list at the top of the window to change your search parameters to '''"Corporation"''', then type '''"Eve University"''' into the search box and click on '''"Search"'''.
+
5 - You will now see the Dashboard. Select 'Services' on the left.
 +
[[File:Intakeservices.png|1200px|thumb|center]]
  
[[Image:Apply1b-newlogo.jpg]]
 
  
*In the new window, right click on the top entry for '''"Eve University"''' (ignore the rest) and select "Add to Contacts".
+
6 - You will see a list of services available for you to action.  
  
[[Image:Apply4-newlogo.jpg]]
+
All services are mandatory as they are needed for in-corp communication. You will have guest access until you are accepted as a member of EVE University.
  
*In the next new window, click on the deep blue square on the far right marked "Excellent Standing" then click on "Add Contact".
+
Each service actions slightly differently:
  
[[Image:Apply5a.jpg]]  
+
~ Hit the check mark next to Discord. This will automatically open Discord to add you to our Discord server. Your nickname will automatically be set to your character name.
 +
[[File:Intake services2.png|1200px|thumb|center]]
  
*You should now see Eve University in your Contacts list.
 
  
== Step 4 - Read up a little  ==
 
  
While you wait for the evemail, read our Code of Conduct and our Rules, which you can find here: [[EVE University Rules|EVE&nbsp;University&nbsp;Rules]].
 
  
You will be asked about our Code and Rules in your Applicant Questionnaire (Step 6), so please familiarise yourself with them -- they are important. You will be required to follow them during your time within Eve University, so please make sure you know them. Should you violate one, ignorance will not be a valid excuse and you will likely be removed from the University as a result.
+
~  Hit the check mark next to phpBB3Forum. This will automatically create an account for you on our forum. Your Credentials will then be displayed, see below:
 +
[[File:Intakeforumcreds.png|1200px|thumb|center]]
  
Don't forget that even if you aren't a member of Eve University, you can still access all the content on the wiki here, even without a forum account or logging in! If you haven't read it already, [[Getting Started In Eve Online|Getting Started In Eve Online]] is a great place to start! Otherwise, simply use the "Search" feature to find articles of interest to you.  
+
Save that password! Open [https://forum.eveuniversity.org/index.php EVE University Forum] and log in using those credentials.
  
 +
Clicking continue on the Credentials page will take you back to Services.
  
== Step 5 - Your API Key  ==
+
You can change your password using the 'pencil' icon.
 +
[[File:Intakeforumpass.png|1200px|thumb|center]]
  
For security purposes, the University will require your UserID number and Limited API Key.
 
  
This key allows us to see basic information about your characters, such as the number of skillpoints for each of them, what skills you have and your wallet balance. API codes do not give us any sort of control over you accounts and you are perfectly safe. Once received, your API Key is then entered into an internally developed program by the PO, which provides basic details about you and your alts.
 
  
Use of API Keys is common practice for larger groups as corporate espionage is commonplace in New Eden. In other corporations, details will typically be kept on file and access and membership will be revoked if the key is changed. However, in the case of Eve University, you are free to create a new key at any time after you have been accepted, and our POs do not keep records of your API code.  
+
~ Hit the check mark next to Mumble. This will create an account for you and you will get a Mumble Credentials pop-up.
  
These items can be found here: http://www.eveonline.com/api, and the page also contains further information, from CCP themselves, on how API codes are safe.
+
'''Save that password!'''
  
If you have more than one Eve account, you need to provide the API keys for all of your accounts.
+
Hitting continue on your Credentials page will take you back to Services, where you will see your Mumble services links.
  
'''Note''': When you convert or activate a trial account to a paid subscription, access to your API key will put on a 3-day lockout by CCP. If you are unable to access or provide the University with your User ID and limited API key, we will not be able to complete the application until you are able do so, resulting in unnecessary delays. We strongly recommend that you retrieve your User ID and limited API key '''before''' you convert from a trial a paid subscription.  
+
You can change your password using the pencil icon later, and log on to Mumble using the arrow.
  
 +
[[File:Intakemumblepic.png|1200px|thumb|center]]
  
== Step 6 - Complete an Applicant Questionnaire Form ==
+
Click the arrow to log into mumble using your credentials.
  
The [http://apply.eveuniversity.org/ Applicant Questionnaire] (out-of-game browser recommended) is possibly the most important step of the process outside of the initial application. Whether you are accepted or not will be entirely based upon what you include (or fail to include) in your questionnaire form. It is essential that you answer all questions in full and be as detailed as possible, your application will not be considered without a properly completed questionnaire.
+
Once logged in, to save your details and be able to log onto Mumble directly, you just need to go to Server --> Connect --> Add New --> Fill --> Save.
  
== Step 7 - Join our Public Channel  ==
 
  
Our public Channel, "E-UNI", is always available to all those who are not hostile toward us. Apart from being an area for general chat and new players to ask questions, it is also the location where new messages are posted regarding any public events in Eve University, and applicants await their turn to speak with a Personnel Officer.
 
  
To join the channel, open the Channels &amp; Mailing Lists window using the small chat bubble icon in the top-right of your chat window.
 
  
[[Image:Channels1.jpg]]
 
  
<br> In the new window type '''“E-UNI”''' into the text box and click on '''"Join"'''. You should now have access to our public channel! Be sure to read the message of the day which appears when you first join.  
+
When you join EVE University, your member permissions will update automatically; this should take no longer than 24 hours.
  
[[Image:Channels2.jpg]]
 
  
<br>
 
  
  
== Step 9 - Check for a War  ==
 
  
From time to time, groups declare war on Eve University. Typically, they either see us as an easy target (which is of course not the case), or feel the need to test themselves.
 
  
During these times, recruitment procedures are modified slightly to prevent new members from becoming easy prey to the hostiles, and we use a secured chat channel where ex-, current and prospective members of Eve University can share knowledge and work together while they wait for the war to end.  
+
7 - Click the Member Audit button on the left hand bar. Hit 'Register'!
 +
[[File:Intakememberaudit.png|1200px|thumb|center]]
  
In addition to this, members can also sign up for our forums and be provided access to many of the teaching resources, or even join Eve University fully if they feel they are ready for PvP.
 
  
If there is a war, the message of the day on our public channel will state as such, and you will need to read [[Applying to Eve University During War|this further information]].  
+
8 - You will see a list of 'scopes'.  
  
<br>
+
These are permissions we ask you to make visible to our recruiters.
  
 +
Please hit 'Authorize'.
 +
[[File:Intakescopes.png|1200px|thumb|center]]
  
== Step 10 - Application interview  ==
 
  
Once you have received an evemail response to your application, read it carefully. Only when you have received this evemail and meet the requirements it details (including completing your applicant questionnaire as noted in Step 6), are you allowed to begin seeking out one of our Personnel Officers.
 
  
To get an interview, you must join our automated queue system - any active POs will work their way through that queue:  
+
9 - You will see that your character becomes visible on the Member Audit page.
 +
[[File:Intakememaudimage.png|1200px|thumb|center]]
  
*To join the queue, click on this link ''using the in-game browser'': [http://eveuniapp.appspot.com/queue Queue Here].
 
  
*Follow the instructions on the page to join and log into the queue, then wait for a PO to call your name in the public "E-UNI" channel.&nbsp; Some POs prefer to convo applicants directly, so look out for that.&nbsp; You should always check out anyone who invites you to a conversation before you accept; genuine POs will be University members who have a "Personnel Officer" title. Please report any attempts at recruitment by personnel who are not official POs.
+
To make this character visible to recruiters, you need to hit the yellow 'eye' icon beneath your picture.
  
*If you miss your call or convo invite, you will be removed from the queue. Please re-queue again when you can pay attention to the E-UNI channel (you will not lose your queue position, merely be removed from the active queue).
+
It will ask if you are sure you want to share this character (yes, you're sure!)
  
*Please leave the queue whenever you are not at your keyboard and actively engaged in playing the game. Sitting in the queue when you are not present does nothing but artificially inflate the queue and slow everybody down.
+
[[File:Intakesharetoon.png|800px|thumb|center]]
  
'''Note:''' If you don't re-enter the queue after two weeks, it will erase your initial entry date and time. '''Log into the queue at least every few days to ensure that you don't lose your place.'''
+
On a shared character, the little yellow eye will become crossed out and grey:
 +
[[File:Intakesharedtoon.png|1200px|thumb|center]]
  
Interviews are generally quick chats to cover anything missed in the Questionnaire (Step 6), as well as offering advice and inducting you into the University (assuming you have been accepted).
 
  
Please keep in mind that POs are volunteers, giving up their own free time to help the University. They also play the game and pay for the privilege just like you, so please be patient.  
+
10 - Next you will need to go to 'Applications' in the left hand menu.  
  
 +
Click on the green 'Create Applications' box.
 +
[[File:Intakeapp.png|1200px|thumb|center]]
  
=== How the queue works  ===
 
  
Our queue system is specifically designed to ''order applicants by the date and time they first joined the queue''. Essentially this means the queue operates on a first come, first serve basis and you may find your position affected should someone who originally joined the queue before you log in. On the plus side, this means you're under no obligation to wait in the queue for long periods of time, as your first join date/time will be stored and will place you appropriately within the queue whenever you log in.  
+
11 - You will be prompted to choose a Corp to apply to. Choose EVE University.
  
The queue will remember your character name, so don't log in with a different character.  
+
That will take you to a short application that you will need to complete.
 +
[[File:IntakeApps2.png|1200px|thumb|center]]
  
Please leave the queue whenever you are not at your keyboard and actively engaged in playing the game. There is no benefit to artificially inflating the queue line by being logged into it whilst not available for an interview, and should you be called for your interview when you are not present, you may be penalised (this can mean anything from simple removal from the queue, to a reset of your join date/time or complete rejection of your application in the case of repeat offenders).
 
  
'''Note:''' The automated queue system will only work via the in-game browser, so please ensure you are in-game when you try to join the queue and keep the window open - it will automatically remove you from the queue if you close it.
 
  
=== While You Wait... ===
+
12 - Once you have completed your application, you can go back to the dashboard and check if it has been received. If you want to cancel your application, you can do so here by selecting the red X.
 +
[[File:Intakeappcomplete.png|1200px|thumb|center]]
  
You will likely be waiting a week or more for an interview, depending on how busy things are. Please be prepared for this, and ensure you have things to do during this time.
 
  
We advise/suggest the following activities:
 
  
*Working through the [[Tutorial and Career Agents in Eve|tutorials and career chains]]
+
You will receive an in-game mail from one of the Intake & Progression Officers as soon as they have reviewed your Application; this is usually within a day or two.
 +
Please be patient, however, as all of our staff are volunteers giving up their playtime!
 +
</center>
  
*Doing the missions in the first [[Getting Started In Eve Online#The_Sisters_of_Eve_Epic_Arc:_Blood-Stained_Stars|Epic Arc]] - people in the "E-UNI" channel can often give you advice if you are having problems with the missions.
+
== Adding Additional Characters ==
 +
<center>As it is beneficial to have a variety of characters for different activities within New Eden, we allow members to have additional characters within EVE University.  
  
*Reading through our [[Main Page|wiki]] (that's here, where you're reading this)
+
In addition to your designated main character you are allowed to have up to three additional characters in EVE University.
  
*Listening to some of our recorded audio classes in our [[Eve University Class Library]] so you can begin learning even before you join<br>
+
Anything over this is considered on a case by case basis. To reduce Intake Officer workload, please check with the [[EVE_University_Management | Intake and Progression Manager]] if you intend to have more than three characters within EVE University.

 +
== Joining when EVE University is at war ==
 +
As a large group with lots of inexperienced players, EVE University can seem an attractive target. Some corporations declare war on EVE University in order to try to get easy kills on their killboard. While the amount of war declarations against EVE University has declined, there is always a possibility of having war declared on us.
 +
 
 +
Sometimes we also have mutual wars for training our members and/or for fun. War and PVP combat is an important part of EVE Online which we want our members to be prepared for and therefore it is a good training scenario.
 +
 
 +
EVE University rarely declares war on other corporations but will react swiftly when aggressed. We strive to end 'unfriendly' wars quickly, but it is impossible for us to avoid being eligible for war entirely.
 +
 
 +
=== How can you tell if EVE University is at war? ===
 +
To check whether EVE University is currently at war, search for Ivy League (the Alliance EVE University belongs to) under the 'Contacts' tab in game.
 +
 
 +
Then right click on Ivy League and select “Show info”.
 +
 
 +
This will bring up a profile of information on Ivy League as below. Select the “War history” tab and look at the top of the list for any active or pending wars.
 +
[[Image:checkwar2.png|center]]
 +
 
 +
In the unlikely event that we are in an active war when you join, check out how to [[Avoid Losses to War Targets]] and [[Wartime Operations in EVE University]] before accepting the Corporation Invitation.
 +
 
 +
When we are at war, you will see a crossed swords icon on the top left of your screen.

Crimson Harvest Spooky Eagle with Text Logo.png

Adding Additional Characters

As it is beneficial to have a variety of characters for different activities within New Eden, we allow members to have additional characters within EVE University.

In addition to your designated main character you are allowed to have up to three additional characters in EVE University.

Anything over this is considered on a case by case basis. To reduce Intake Officer workload, please check with the Intake and Progression Manager if you intend to have more than three characters within EVE University.


To add your alt, you will need to navigate back to your Dashboard, where you should see 'Add Character' beneath your portrait.

Joining when EVE University is at war

As a large group with lots of inexperienced players, EVE University can seem an attractive target. Some corporations declare war on EVE University in order to try to get easy kills on their killboard. While the amount of war declarations against EVE University has declined, there is always a possibility of having war declared on us.

Sometimes we also have mutual wars for training our members and/or for fun. War and PVP combat is an important part of EVE Online which we want our members to be prepared for and therefore it is a good training scenario.

EVE University rarely declares war on other corporations but will react swiftly when aggressed. We strive to end 'unfriendly' wars quickly, but it is impossible for us to avoid being eligible for war entirely.

How can you tell if EVE University is at war?

To check whether EVE University is currently at war, search for Ivy League (the Alliance EVE University belongs to) under the 'Contacts' tab in game.

Then right click on Ivy League and select “Show info”.

This will bring up a profile of information on Ivy League as below. Select the “War history” tab and look at the top of the list for any active or pending wars.

In the unlikely event that we are in an active war when you join, check out how to Avoid Losses to War Targets and Wartime Operations in EVE University before accepting the Corporation Invitation.

When we are at war, you will see a crossed swords icon on the top left of your screen.
