__NOTOC__Members of [[EVE University]] may take advantage of '''The Skillbook Program''', providing vital [[skillbooks]] valued at 1 million ISK or less. Every Member of EVE University may request reimbursements via the Corp chat channel.  EVE Universty members with [[Freshman]] status or higher can directly get reimbursement for the purchase of a skillbook through accessing the Skillbook Wallet. They can also help with Reimbursements in the Corp channel to those who have no access to the wallet.
Members of [[EVE University]] have access to one of two skillbook programs depending on what titles they have. The Skillbook Reimbursement program allows members with the student title to obtain reimbursement for up to three and a half million ISK of skillbooks per day. Members without the student title have access to the Starter Skillbook Bundles which provides most of the skillbooks used in the [[E-Uni Basics Skill Plan|Basic]] and [[E-Uni CORE Skill Plans|Core 30/60]] skillplans.
Additionally skillbooks are available in the [[Corporation Hangar]] for all members, and those with at least [[Alpha]] status, [[Sophomores]] and higher, can access the hangar.

== Skillbook Reimbursement ==
= Members with no title: Starter Skillbook Bundles =
Members who don't yet have any [[titles]] within EVE University can use our Starter Skillbook Bundles instead. The procedure to claim them is as follows:


E-UNI members with Freshman [[Titles|title]] status or greater are provided with access to the "Skillbook Wallet" corporation wallet. This allows them to be reimbursed the cost of skillbooks with a value of 1million ISK or lower. Those members without the Freshman title may still request reimbursement as outlined below under '''Members with no Title'''.  
:1. Dock at "Korsiki – Horizon"
:2. Open Neocom → Finance → Contracts → Contract Search
:3. Set Filters
::''Item Type: Caldari Shuttle''
::''Location: Current Station''
::''Contract Type: All''
::''Item Category: All''
::''Availability: My Corporation''
:4. Look for "Skillbooks in Cargo. Basic + Core Plan" (Caldari Shuttle)
:5. Accept 1 contract → open the shuttle's cargo → right-click and inject your books
:6. Return any skillbooks you didn't consume to the Donations Can (Inventory → Corporations Hangar → Donations and Loot)


Rules for Reimbursement:

== Rules and restrictions of the Program ==
In order to ensure we have enough to go around, we impose some restrictions. Members should ensure that they follow these rules when obtaining reimbursement:


#'''Skillbooks are reimbursed at [[Skillbook Program Seeded Price|NPC seeded prices]] only.''' These can be identified on the market as sell orders with a 364 day expiry. These prices do fluctuate from station to station, and region to region. If the skillbook in question is not NPC seeded, then it is not covered by this program. A list of NPC seeded skillbooks and their rough seeded prices is maintained [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Skillbook_Program_Seeded_Price here]. The [[Skillbook Program Seeded Price]] is a median pricing guide. Some newly injected skillbooks into the game may not yet be populated onto the list. As long as the skillbook has a price of 1,000,000 ISK or less and the sell order has an expiry of 364 days then you can consider that skillbook to qualify.
* Members can claim reimbursement up to a total of three and a half million (3,500,000) ISK per day, although this can be over several skillbooks.
#'''There is no reimbursement, neither full nor partial, for skillbooks ''more'' than 1m ISK in price.''' By the time you get to training these skills, you are expected to be able to afford them yourself.
* We take "per day" to mean the twenty-four hour period from one downtime (11:00 EVE time) to the next.
#'''Students may request an unlimited number of skillbooks each day, as long as their total cost is 1m ISK or lower for that day.''' Please ensure they are skills you can use immediately - don't go crazy filling your head with skills you don't plan to train for weeks, the wallet will be there later. For tracking purposes, each day is a 24-hour period from 00:00 - 23:59 EVE time. Any more frequent will lead to an investigation.
** The 24 hour limit resets each day and is not cumulative.
#'''Students may not request reimbursement for skills purchased or otherwise obtained while not in the Uni.''' The Skillbook Program is only for skillbooks needed currently by the student and they may only request reimbursement of those books that qualify that they purchase while in the Uni. This is one of the reasons it's recommended that a pilot completes as many of the [[Tutorial_and_Career_Agents_in_Eve|Career Tutorial paths]] as possible as they gain many skillbooks for free.
* Each skillbook must individually cost 3,500,000 ISK or less. We do not partially reimburse higher value skillbooks.
** Skillbooks with an NPC seeded price over 3,500,000 ISK are not eligible for reimbursement.  
* Skillbooks can be reimbursed at either the <em>NPC seeded</em> market price, or at the <em>Remote Injection</em> price via the skill queue, provided the total is less than 3,500,000 ISK.
** If you purchase a skillbook that is listed at a different price than the <em>NPC seeded</em> price, you will receive reimbursement at the <em>NPC seeded</em> price, regardless of the amount you spent.
**Certain skillbooks are not available via <em>Remote Injection</em> nor via <em>NPC seeded</em> market listings, such as the Precursor ([[Triglavian_Collective|Triglavian]]) skillbooks. Despite these books sometimes costing under 3,500,000 ISK on the open market, they are <i>not</i> eligible for reimbursement.
** Do note that there are a handful of skillbooks that cost under 3,500,000 ISK at the <em>NPC seeded</em> market price, but cost more than the limit when purchased directly via <em>Remote Injection</em> from the skill queue.
*** If these skillbooks are purchased via <em>Remote Injection</em>, they may be reimbursed at the <em>NPC seeded</em> market price.
* Members should claim reimbursement for skills they intend to use immediately.
* Members may only claim reimbursement for skillbooks purchased while they are in EVE University, not before they joined or after they leave.
* Members may only claim reimbursement for skillbooks used by their characters in EVE University. We do not reimburse skillbooks for [[alternate characters]]. Skillbooks for [[Applying_to_EVE_University#Adding_Additional_Characters|alternate characters within the Uni proper]] is permitted, and the 3,500,000 ISK limit is per character.
** If you are reimbursing a skillbook for an additional character, skillbook reimbursement ''must'' be withdrawn by the character that is training the purchased skill.
* If you make a mistake with the skillbook wallet, you can report it to any Manager or Director


Where possible, members with access should check the corporation hangars prior to using the skillbook wallet.
== Checking skillbook prices ==


If an error is made in a reimbursement, please tell us about it by clicking this link: [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dExhblNOby0za1dNcVdodjlSVC1kckE6MQ | Linky]
You can look at the [[Skillbook Program Seeded Price]] page for a list of skillbook prices, or look it up yourself ingame through the [[Neocom#Regional Market|Regional Market]] or by either right-clicking a skillbook or through the '''Show Info''' window and selecting '''View Market Details'''. For the market price, make sure that it is the <em>NPC-seeded</em> price you're looking at and not player offers.<ul style="margin:0px;"><li style="border:none; vertical-align:top; display:inline-block;">
[[File:identifying_npc_sellers.png|500px|thumb|left|You can easily verify that it is an <em>NPC sell order</em> by the fact it expires in several hundred days, like the orders marked in {{co|lightgreen|green}}, where as players are limited to 90 days (3 months). Those NPC sell orders are also placed exclusively from educational places like '''Academies''', '''Schools''' and '''Universities''' as seen by the locations marked in {{co|lightskyblue|blue}}.]]
</li><li style="border:none; vertical-align:top; display:inline-block;">
[[File:reimbursement_marketprice_only.png|500px|thumb|left|Here's an example of a skill, in this case {{sk|Large Hybrid Turret}}, that has a (NPC) '''market price''' of 3,000,000 ISK but a '''direct''' price of 3,900,000 ISK. You'll be unable to claim the '''direct''' price of 3,900,000 ISK marked in {{co|crimson|red}} since it's above that limit, but you are still able to claim the '''market price''' of 3,000,000 ISK marked in {{co|lightgreen|green}} as it's still within the limit.]]

== Skillbooks from Hangars ==
== Obtaining reimbursement ==
Members with [[Alpha]] status or greater are encouraged to check the corporation hangars when looking for skillbooks. The skillbook containers are refreshed periodically, and hold a vast majority of common skills.


Members may take one of each required skillbooks that they can use, but must follow the normal corp hangar process and ensure any stacks are re-locked. Skillbooks may also be provided to other members who do not currently have hangar access, however excessive usage of this may lead to investigation.
Members who have the [[Student title]] should reimburse themselves directly from the skillbook wallet. The procedure is as follows:


It should go without saying that skillbooks provided are not for resale, and like any other E-UNI service, abuse of this may lead to your [[The Departed|dismissal]]. Remember that skillbooks, as with all corp resources, are not for use by alternate characters or accounts.
:1. Ensure that the skillbook qualifies for reimbursement under the above rules
::''I.e. it can be bought from an NPC seller on the market or directly through the skill queue for 3.5 million ISK or less.''
:2. Ensure that you have a sufficient amount of your 3.5 million ISK total daily allowance remaining to cover the cost of the skillbook.
:3. Open your Wallet from the Neocom: [[File:Wallet.png|32px]]
:4. At the top left select the {{co|wheat|Corporation Wallet}} tab. Ensure that your active wallet division is EVE University Skillbooks.
:5. At the top right click the {{co|wheat|Withdraw ISK}} button.
:6. A box will pop up, which asks for an amount and a reason.
::''For the amount enter the total amount of all the skillbooks you are requesting reimbursement for. In the reason field put the names of the skillbooks. If the full names don't fit you can abbreviate them, provided the skillbook is still recognisable.''
::{{co|yellow|For example:}}
::''Therm Shield Comp (for Thermal Shield Compensation)''
:7. Select {{co|wheat|OK}} and the ISK will be added to your personal wallet.


To request a skillbook from the hangar if you do not have access, simply ask in the Corp chat channel. Where at all possible, please [[Auto Link]] the skillbook and type the ISK requested.
If the skillbook wallet does not contain enough ISK to fulfill your request, please let a Manager or Director know by pinging a message in our #support channel in discord. Please do not make any donation into the skillbook wallet directly.
 
= Using the Skillbook Wallet =
 
== Members with no Title ==
 
=== Requesting Reimbursement ===
# Ensure that the skillbook is NPC seeded, and costs 1 million ISK or less.
## From the list of skills on your character sheet locate the skill and right click on it and select "View Market Details", or
## Open the market window, change the range to "Region" and select the "Search" tab.
## Enter part of the name, and click "Search"
## Select the skillbook, and click the "Details" tab.
## 'NPC Seeded' skillbooks all have an expiry of 364 days, and the same price listed at various locations.
# Ask in Corp chat for reimbursement of the skillbook, ensure you [[Auto Link]] the name. Please also include the ISK amount you are requesting. 
# Wait patiently for someone to notice the request - give it at least 5 minutes before requesting again.
# You will receive the ISK directly into your wallet. You can then purchase the skillbook.
# Finally, please ensure you confirm that you have received the ISK to avoid any duplication.
 
== Members with Freshman or Greater Titles ==
 
=== Personal Reimbursement ===
# Open your wallet window and swap to the Corporation Wallet tab.
# Ensure the active wallet division is "EVE University Skillbooks". If not, click "Change Division".
# Click "Take ISK" and enter the exact NPC seeded price of the skillbook in the Amount box.
# Under reason, enter the name of the specific skillbook in question.
# Double check the information entered!
# Click OK, and the ISK will be transferred to your personal wallet.
 
=== Reimbursing Other Members ===
# First, let the member know in Corp chat that you are going to process the request for them.
# Check the information of the requesting member - if they have the freshman title, direct them to the "Personal Reimbursement" section on this page.
# Open your wallet window and swap to the Corporation Wallet tab.
# Ensure the active wallet division is "EVE University Skillbooks". If not, click "Change Division".
# Click "Transfer ISK" and enter the name of the E-UNI member in the box. Click the (i) and Show Info to ensure you have the right person!
# Enter the skillbook price they quoted in the Amount box.
# Under reason, enter the name of the specific skillbook. If there is more then one, fit as many as you can, and be sure the ISK total amount entered reflects the skillbooks mentioned in the reason field.  You '''may''' abbreviate the names of the skillbooks. Make further reimbursements for any extra skillbooks whose names cannot be included in the reason field.
# Double check the information entered!
# Click OK, and the ISK will be transferred to their personal wallet.
 
In both cases, in the event the wallet does not contain enough ISK to complete the transaction, please let a [[EVE University Management|Manager or Director]] know via the [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=37830&hilit=skillbook+wallet 'Skillbook Wallet Is Empty' Forum thread ], and they can top it up - please do ''not'' make any donations to the wallet itself.
