In mid-2007, the [[Low Sec Apprenticeship Group]] was formed, possibly in a fit of absent-mindedness. After Master Akira's departure from EVE University in mid-2008, the group was reorganized under Dlardrageth. [[Division 6]] grew out of a subsequent reorganisation.

[[Division 6]] was formed by Wolf VanBerg as a special program aimed at exploring and living in wormholes, just prior to the Apocrypha expansion. Members lived in wormholes almost exclusively, and at its height it had around 40 - 50 pilots. There was a minimum skill set required for membership, and the group tended to fly in remote-repair armor battleship gangs with battlecruisers for point defense

[[EVE High]] was created as a kind of 'virtual corporation' for members interested in joining EVE University. It was created as a consequence of a significant number of war declarations, to allow potential members to take advantage of EVE University's learning opportunities without subjecting them to the risks inherent to joining a corporation at war. Applicants could indicate during the admission process that they wished to join EVE High and if successful they would be granted access to some (but not all) EVE University services without actually joining the corporation. EVE High was eventually abolished and is no longer active.

{{Quote|Marius Labo writes: EVE High was an option at the time I had applied to join EVE University in late 2010.  It was well established when I was accepted into the recruiting department as a rookie Recruiting Officer (now Personnel Officer) in January of 2011.  EVE High essentially discontinued as a viable option when Kelduum brought in significant changes to the recruiting process in early 2012 leading up to the ''Inferno'' expansion, which brought in major changes to the War Dec system.}}

In summer 2010 EVE University played host to a community of female EVE players called [[Sisters in EVE - A Refuge for Women in EVE Online|Sisters in EVE]], created by Rain Coehati. This included setting up a restricted section of the EVE University forum open to (female) members of the group only. Its existence caused some controversy among members. It was eventually closed on 1st June 2011 due to inactivity.

In May 2011 EVE University established the first iteration of the [[Null Sec Campus]] in the Fountain region. Unfortunately the first iteration was not entirely successful, and the Null Sec Campus were forced to leave camp prematurely, and once again return to Empire space. Then one day, in September 2011, a handful of brave, perhaps foolhardy Unistas followed a gibbering madman named Tinman Spectacular into Syndicate, pitched their tents and settled in for the long haul. So Null Sec Campus 2.0 was born out of the initiative of EVE University students.

{{Quote|Marius Labo writes: The first. rather unsuccessful interation actually happened in 2012.  It was sparked by the invite of former Unistas who had founded Ponywaffe (PWWN) who had established themselves in TEST. As the Student Relations Manager at the time I was part of the discussions leading to our then Director of Human Resources, Darian Reymont, to help get this off the ground. They were trying to foster what it was like to live out in NPC Nullsec in the NPC (Serpentis) pocket in Fountian, the Phoenix Consellation. At this time EVE University had strict rules about not entering Sov Null.  Part of it's concept was based on the largely successful Student-led ongoing event known as the Low-Sec Camp (which later became the [[Low-Sec Campus]]).  The Syndicate-based NSC occurred later in 2012.}}

{{co|lightgreen|<big>'''Libold becomes a 'Frigate Free For All' system - June 2012'''</big>}}<br />


In June 2012 the system of Libold, a dead-end system behind EVE University's then-HQ of Aldrat, was designated as an EVE University [[Frigate FFA System|Frigate Free For All (FFA) system]]. This meant that any EVE University members in a T1 frigate in that system was game for PVP. It provided an opportunity for friendly PVP practice at minimal cost to members, since it was restricted to T1 frigates only and there was a 'no podding' rule. Its use was promoted through contests and giveaways.

Although EVE University had taken forays into wormhole space previously (notably with [[Division 6]] and a previous failed attempt to establish a wormhole campus), in summer 2012 talks among EVE University management were initiated to establish a new Wormhole Campus. In October 2012 the final decision to go forward was made and the [[Wormhole Campus]] began preparation to open its doors once more. Unistas found a live-able system and erected a POS towards the  end of November 2012 and it was then launched with tons of work by Scrapyard Bob and Frood Frooster, with the first Wormhole Campus manager being Sylvanium Orlenard.

The campus hangars and services moved from their short lived home in Vecodie to the new home at GW in June 2017 after industry and science modules had been installed.

In December 2016 a friendly war was organised between Ivy League and RVB, called [[WinterWar 16]]. Jurius Doctor made the arrangements from the EVE University side. The 'war' was limited to a single region, which was Black Rise, including a high sec island which limited the involvement of third parties. Various events were organised over the course of the war, including brawls, new player and training events.
