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.

You can join this channel by clicking the small speech bubble icon just above your chat window, and typing '''Class (EVE Uni)''' into the box that pops up. Press Join, and you are now in the E-UNI public class channel.

Note: This is generally not used, with the Discord chat channels being now favored for chat purposes. The in-game channel is still available however and may be called upon by teachers wishing to utilize links to in game resources during class (e.g. link an item).

Occasionally our teachers will hold classes in other places, such as a different server or Twitch.tv. If this is the case, all the details can be found in the relevant post in the ~~Scheduled Classes forum~~ linked above.

; Is any pre-requisite knowledge required for classes?

: Not normally. If there is, the relevant ~~post in the Scheduled Classes forum~~ will note it.

: Not normally. If there is, the relevant Discord Event will note it.

; Do I need to be anywhere in particular to attend a class?

: Not normally, although practical exercises sometimes require you to be in a specific system in-game. You can always just listen in to the practical part even if you can't take part! If you do need to be somewhere, the ~~relevant post in the Scheduled Classes forum~~ will tell you.

; What if I have questions?

: Normally you can ask any questions you may have during the class in the Discord using the classroom chat. This can be accessed using the chat bubble next to the classroom channel name or (if the Teacher is streaming slides or their game) at the top right of the classroom stream. An example of what the chat bubble icon looks like can be found [[Attending_classes#Public_Discord|further up this page.]] If a different channel is being used for this class, the relevant ~~post in the Scheduled Classes forum~~ will tell you.
