Titles within EVE University: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 15:17, 27 December 2024

This page's intent is to provide information on the the history of EVE University. The information on this page is no longer current.

Progression Titles were used to show where members were on your journey through EVE University and to unlock corporation roles.

These were distinguished from vanity titles which do not provide any specific roles, and the specific titles of staff.

Progression Titles

Progression titles charted a student's progress through the University.

No Progression Title

Members who have just joined EVE University and did not yet have a progression title.

Provided:

Access to request reimbursement for skillbooks through the Skillbook Program
Access to the free Flight Deck beginner ship contracts (separate from the Corporation Hangars below)
Access to the corporate Buyback program at University staging areas and certain trade hubs
Access to the Ship Replacement Program
Access to the Free station containers program
Access to the Mining ship program to order discount or full-price mining ships
Access to the EVE University Corporation Skill Plans
The ability to make use of our Perfect Ore Refiners
The ability to make use of our internal Hauling Service
The ability to ask members with a Freshman title or higher to take items from the Corporation Hangars for you

Freshman

A new student.

Requirements:

One or more messages on Discord (any channel qualifies)
Character had been a member of EVE University for at least 7 days
Character was at least 31 days old
Character was fully registered in the EVE University Alliance Auth

Provided:

Access to reimbursing yourself and other corporation members with the Skillbook Program
Access to the Corporation Hangars
Access to The +3 Implants Program

There were no further requirements for this title; they are a simple set of criteria. If you met them all, you could apply and would be granted the title.

Sophomore

A more experienced student who was engaging with the University community in a positive, meaningful way. A Sophomore applicant needed to provide evidence of learning by doing.

Requirements:

Met current requirements for Freshman, and held the Freshman title
Character had been a member of EVE University for at least 6 weeks
Player showed recent engagement within the community (examples are meaningful activity via the EVE University Forum, Wiki and/or ZKillboard, but does not need to be any of these)

Provided:

Access to the Main Hangar
Ability to post events to the EVE University Calendar

Earning this title was different from the Freshman title: it waas not a simple matter of checking the boxes. Progression officers attempted to evaluate member activity and make a decision about whether a member had ‘enough’ activity. If we had to boil Sophomore down to one word, it would be ‘participation.’ The Sophomore applicant must demonstrate that they were actively participating in University activities. These activities can really be in almost any aspect of the game.

Graduate

A fully qualified pilot, recognized for their knowledge of game mechanics and their service to the University. This title took a higher degree of effort to earn compared to Sophomore.

Requirements:

Met current requirements for Sophomore, and held the Sophomore title
Character had been a member of EVE University for at least 12 weeks
Player had demonstrated a mastery of a range of EVE game mechanics
Player was sharing their knowledge and experience with the EVE University community or giving back to the Uni in a meaningful way such as a staff position or content creation

Provided:

A Graduate Medal

If the key to Sophomore was ‘participation,’ the main aspects of the Graduate title were ‘mastery’ and ‘giving back’. Mastery covered a wide portion of experience in New Eden, and giving back could take a variety of forms.

Staff & Vanity Titles

Staff titles, such as Mentor, Teacher, Professor, and a number of Officer titles, denote an individual's role as an EVE University staff member, officer, or director. Other titles (known as "vanity" titles) are just for fun and are tailored to the individual who holds them. Staff titles are handled by their own departments and vanity titles are awarded through a different process.

-Just as the requirements for Sophomore are rather different from Freshman, so too are the Graduate requirements.  If the key to Sophomore is ‘participation,’ the main aspects of the Graduate title are ‘mastery’ and ‘giving back.’  For more information, see the [[Titles Frequently Asked Questions]].
-== Other Titles ==
-There are a number of other titles used, some of which are: '''Mentor''', '''Teacher''', '''Professor''', and a number of '''Officer''' titles, however these are awarded by a different process.
-== Requesting a Title ==
-To claim your title, ensure that you meet the requirements fully, then [http://tools.eveuniversity.org/ head to this site] and log in using your current forum username and password. Once logged in, ensure you have an up to date API registered with the tool and request a title via the titles tab. You can learn more about how to submit your API key [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Applying_to_EVE_University_(step_5) here].
-Failure to leave a valid API recorded in the tool will result in any title request being rejected.
-Only one title should be requested at a time multiple simultaneous requests will be denied.
-As we discuss on the FAQ we can only evaluate your application based on the data we can see.  If you think that there are other factors that Titles Staff needs to consider, or individuals that we should contact regarding your application, please make use of the text box on the application form to give us the information that we need.
-'''Please Note'''
-:*If you rejoin E-UNI on a different character you will not be able to regain your previous title as they do not transfer to your new character. You would need to earn the titles again as if you are a new member.
-:*When requesting a title you have held in the past only request the most senior title. Example -  If you held Graduate apply directly for Graduate.
-:*Additionally when requesting a title you have held before you must press the Remove Titles button in the tool so you can request the title again. This simply removes the block that prevents someone requesting a title the tool believes they already hold.
-:*It can take some time for a title to be applied due to the various checks that are required for each applicant.
