===I'm not in the UNI, but I'm very experienced, and I want to join as a Teacher. Can I?===

If you are an experienced EVE player, and you ~~want~~ to ~~join~~ the UNI to teach ~~others what you know~~, ~~you will have~~ to:

If you are an experienced EVE player, and have applied to the UNI in hopes of becoming a Teacher, you should first know these facts:

* UNI rules and policies are highly restrictive by design, to protect our new EVE pilots. Often, these rules are too limiting for the comfort of most veteran EVE players.

* The UNI is almost entirely focused on new players in EVE, and as a result, we rarely accept highly experienced characters.

* In the past, some older EVE players have applied to the UNI "to teach", but then failed to do so - much to our disappointment. For this reason, the desire to teach is in itself not sufficient reason to be accepted into the UNI.

* With rare exception, we do not accept alt characters into the UNI - to teach or for any other purpose.

* Send in a [[Applying to Eve University|UNI application]], join the interview queue~~, and get accepted into the UNI~~. ~~Be sure to mention~~ in your application that you are ~~joining specifically because you want to become~~ a UNI Teacher.

For these reasons, we have established the [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Joining_The_Faculty#Becoming_a_UNI_Guest_Lecturer Guest Lecturer] program, so that you will not be constrained by UNI rules and policies, but can still help new pilots in EVE - and according to your own schedule and level of desire. We encourage all highly experienced EVE players who wish to teach to pursue that option.

* ~~Once~~ you are accepted into the UNI, begin ~~work~~ to earn your [[Titles Within Eve University|Freshman and Sophomore titles]] - a six-week process.

If, despite the above warnings, you still want to apply for UNI membership, then you must:

* Send in a [[Applying to Eve University|UNI application]], and join the interview queue. Mention in your application that you are also interested in becoming a UNI Teacher, so the Personnel Officer can factor that into their decision. If you are not accepted, remember that the [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Joining_The_Faculty#Becoming_a_UNI_Guest_Lecturer Guest Lecturer] program is still open to you.

* If you are accepted into the UNI, you can then begin to earn your [[Titles Within Eve University|Freshman and Sophomore titles]] - a six-week process.

* While you are earning your Sophomore title, complete [https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dE1obDZ4ZGpvTjNCMzI5TTA0cGdDNFE6MQ this application] for an interview with the [[Training Manager|Teaching Manager]].

* After this interview, you will receive Associate Teacher status, and can begin teaching classes. After you successfully deliver your first three classes, and you have received your Sophomore title, you will then be awarded the UNI Teacher title.

~~If you do not want~~ to go through this process ~~because you believe you~~ are ~~super-special and the~~ rules ~~of the normal universe do not apply to you~~, ~~please consider participating in our [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Joining_The_Faculty#Becoming_a_UNI_Guest_Lecturer Guest Lecturer] program instead, which is designed~~ for ~~other-worldly creatures like you~~. ~~:-)~~

The reason for requiring UNI Teachers to go through this process is acclimate them to UNI rules and policies. All UNI Teachers are expected to fully understand UNI rules, and set an example for the UNI community.

On ''very rare'' occasions, for ''extraordinarily qualified'' EVE personalities who genuinely want to contribute back to the community of pilots by becoming a UNI Teacher, we will grant special exceptions to this process - contact the UNI [[Director of Education]] or [[Training Manager|Teaching Manager]] for more information.
