==What is the Mentor Program?==

The purpose of the EVE University Mentor Program is to help new players in EVE to understand the game better and more rapidly, by teaming them with more experienced players who can provide practical advice and coaching. EVE University Mentors help their assigned novices to:

* Better understand the ~~fundamentals~~ of EVE

* Better understand the basic concepts of EVE

* Find the right resources, from both E-UNI and other places, where appropriate

* Learn how to have more fun in playing EVE

==What the Mentor Program is not==

Whilst ideally we would like to be able to give everyone a mentor who wanted one, due to limited mentor availability this is unfortunately not feasible.

Formal mentorships are, therefore, '''not usually intended for players already well-experienced with the game''' (eg. more than 4 months active playtime) or experienced players wishing to specialise in a particular area of the game. If you feel you fit in this category, it is suggested that you join a campus that suits your particular interest and/or find someone who can mentor you on an informal basis.

==How do I request a Mentor?==

~~First, check if you are qualified to apply for a Mentor. This~~ program is ~~reserved for:~~

The mentor program is restricted '''EVE University members''' in good standing and you must be a full member of the UNI when you apply for a Mentor. Please note that if you drop from the UNI later for wartime or other purposes, you may continue to interact with your mentor while you are out of corp (if you mutually decide to do so) but the official mentorship will end.

* '''EVE University members''' in good standing~~. You~~ must be a full member of the UNI when you apply for a Mentor. Please note that if you drop from the UNI later for wartime or other purposes, you may continue to interact with your mentor while you are out of corp, if you mutually decide to do so, but the official mentorship will end.

* Players with '''less than four (4) months total experience in EVE'''. This includes aggregate experience with alternate characters, or prior characters that have been discontinued.

* Characters with '''less than six million (6,000,000) skill points'''.

* Exceptions can be made to the latter two points for former EVE players who dropped out and recently rejoined, and who want help in reorienting themselves in the game. Ultimately all decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis.

If you meet this criteria and think you fit in with the guidelines above, please follow [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdUpMQAIC6E0hcu-l5YmEhXW7AB9OzsuVWSEelSxGTIUJWboA/viewform this link] and fill out the web form. The Mentor Program staff will review your application and put you in touch with a suitable Mentor.

'''Ultimately all decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis, so if you feel like you could benefit from having a mentor, don't be afraid to apply!'''

~~'''~~Please be aware that current high demand means that you may wait 1-2 weeks for a good match. In the meantime, please get involved with one of the Uni campus groups and don't lose heart!~~'''~~
