There comes a time when each and every student decides for themselves that it's time to move on from EVE University having received the training and education in those areas that interest them the most. This is very normal and it's what we expect.  Some stay on in staff positions and a few stay on even longer in management roles.  Some pilots also just decide to stay, which they are welcome to.  As long as they are happy to follow the rules and understand their gameplay experience will be limited compared to the wider galaxy of New Eden and what other great player corps and alliances have to offer.

* Our ''<span style="color: #7389DA">#work-fair</span>'' Discord channel is a place where other corporations can advertise and give you some information about what it is like to be a member of their corporation.

Feel free to post in their threads and ask for more information about joining a new corporation.

Once you have found another corporation you wish to join, locate their requirements for new members and either apply or contact their recruitment contact for more information on joining.
  
In order to leave EVE University in-game you simply need to righ-click on yourself and select from the menu "Quit Corporation?" and if you have roles or grantable roles you will have to "Remove all roles and grantable roles". You should then be able to leave by selecting "Confirm Quit Corporation" and you are out of the Uni and will be placed in a default NPC corporation.  Alternatively you may be joining another player corp and once you have removed all roles and grantable roles you'll be able to accept an Invite into your new player corp.  There should not be any cooldown period required after you drop your roles.  This existed prior and CCP found this mechanic to no longer be necessary.

=== Removal for Inactivity ===

We like to keep an active base of members and therefore if you do not log into EVE Online for over six months you will be removed from EVE University for inactivity. This will place you back into an NPC corporation.
  
Feel free to say good-bye and/or let us know what you're up to (such as dropping to get away from war or taking an apprenticeship) via the [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=76 Hi and Bye forum].  This is not a necessary step, but if you're moving on it's a great way to say good-bye and hear from your bros and other well-wishers.  If you are only dropping for a short period this helps to let us know to expect you back.

If you are removed from inactivity and you later become active again, you are free to reapply to EVE University.
  
If you are dropping for a short period it is important that you keep in mind that if we are at war we will not be able to invite you back into the Uni until 7 days have passed or any active wars have ended, which ever comes first.

* If you are moving to another corporation you will need to drop your roles within EVE University to allow them to invite you. You will have roles if you have any title within the corporation.

* If you are not moving to another corporation immediately, you do not need to remove your roles. Just right click your name in game and select ''Quit Corporation?'' and ''Confirm''. This will move you to an NPC corporation.

If you have not been logging into EVE Online you will eventually hit a point of being inactive for more than a month.  We routinely remove, usually once a week, pilots who have hit this stage of inactivity.

Reasons people leave EVE University

Moving onto another corporation

Eventually, most of our students decide that it is time to move on from EVE University and join another corporation. There are various ways to find another corporation to join:

  • Our #work-fair Discord channel is a place where other corporations can advertise and give you some information about what it is like to be a member of their corporation. Some of them actively seek out ex-EVE University members because they know that they will have had a better start in the game. Feel free to post in their threads and ask for more information about joining a new corporation.
  • Speaking to EVE University alumni is a great way to get more information about other corporations. Our alumni are able to access the chat channels, forum and mumble, so please do ask them about their experience with their new corporation.
  • Use the in-game Corporation Finder to look up adverts for other corporations. Select Corporation on the Neocom then Recruitment and Search. You can search by various categories to find a corporation that matches what you wish to do in EVE Online.
  • EVE Online has a recruitment chat channel where corporations can advertise for new members. The name of the channel is Recruitment.
  • There is also a Recruitment forum on the EVE Online forums where corporations can post adverts. Feel free to contact the recruitment staff of the other corporations to ask for more information.

Once you have found another corporation you wish to join, locate their requirements for new members and either apply or contact their recruitment contact for more information on joining.

Removal for Inactivity

We like to keep an active base of members and therefore if you do not log into EVE Online for over six months you will be removed from EVE University for inactivity. This will place you back into an NPC corporation.

If you are removed from inactivity and you later become active again, you are free to reapply to EVE University.

The process for leaving

Once you have decided to leave EVE University there are a few steps which we ask you to complete as you say goodbye.

  • Move your ships and possessions if you need to. This is particularly relevant if you are a member of the Wormhole community as you may be unable to access the Citadels after you have left the corporation.
  • Don’t forget to say goodbye to your fellow corpmates! This is not compulsory, but it is useful to tell us where you are going and perhaps say goodbye to people who have helped you along the way. Please do NOT send out any mails to the Corp mailing list to advise that you are leaving. We appreciate your contribution to EVE University, but this leads to unnecessary mail spam.
  • If you are moving to another corporation you will need to drop your roles within EVE University to allow them to invite you. You will have roles if you have any title within the corporation. To do this, right click your name in game and select Remove all Roles and Grantable Roles. The other corporation will then be able to invite you to join them directly after 24 hours.
  • If you are not moving to another corporation immediately, you do not need to remove your roles. Just right click your name in game and select Quit Corporation? and Confirm. This will move you to an NPC corporation.
