If you've arrived here you're (presumably!) looking to join [[Eve University]], [[New Eden]]'s oldest and best known educational institution. Our [[List of Recruitment Officers|Student Advisors]] (SAs) do their work unpaid out of goodwill, so we ask that you make their job easier and don't waste their time by following all of the steps below. Particularly note the further information linked in Step 9 for when Eve University is at war, which can be quite often. | ||

== Step 5 - | == Step 5 - Your API Key == | ||
For security purposes, the University will require your UserID number and Limited API Key. | |||
This key allows us to see basic information about your characters, such as the number of skillpoints for each of them, what skills you have and your wallet balance. API codes do not give us any sort of control over you accounts and you are perfectly safe. Once received, your API Key is then entered into an internally developed program by the SA, which provides basic details about you and your alts. | |||
Use of API Keys is common practice for larger groups as corporate espionage is commonplace in New Eden. In other corporations details will typically be kept on file and access and membership will be revoked if the key is changed, however in the case of Eve University, you are free to create a new key at any time after you have been accepted, and our SAs do not keep records of your API code. | |||
These items can be found here: http://www.eveonline.com/api, and the page also contains further information, from CCP themselves, on how API codes are safe. | |||
'''Note''': When you convert or activate a trial account to a paid subscription, access to your API key will put on a 3-day lockout by CCP. If you are unable to access or provide the University with your User ID and limited API key, we will not be able to complete the application until you are able do so resulting in unnecessary delays. We strongly recommend that you retrieve your User ID and limited API key '''before''' you convert from a trial a paid subscription. | |||

== Step 6 - Complete an Applicant Questionnaire Form == | |||
The [http://apply.eveuniversity.org/ Applicant Questionnaire] is possibly the most important step of the process outside of the initial application. Whether you are accepted or not will be entirely based upon what you include (or fail to include) in your questionnaire form. Please answer all questions in full and be as detailed as possible, failure to do so could negatively effect your application. | |||
