EVE University is committed to fostering an inclusive learning environment and actively works to make our fleets, classes, and resources more accessible:


* '''[[Classes]] & Recordings''' – Many Uni classes are recorded and uploaded to allow students to learn asynchronously if they cannot attend live sessions. Written class notes are often provided for those who prefer text-based learning.
* '''Classes (and recordings)''' – Many Uni classes are recorded and uploaded to allow students to learn asynchronously if they cannot attend live sessions. Written class notes are often provided for those who prefer text-based learning and students can aski for sldie packs prior to or after classes to review them at their own pace and we will do our best to provide these.
* '''Accessible Wiki''' – The UniWiki is written with clarity in mind and uses structured headings, concise explanations, and alt-text on key images where possible.
* '''Youtube classes''' - Our intent os to have full subtitles on our youtube videos. We appreicate that sometimes the autogenerated text is innacurate, and we're slowly working through these manaully hwere we can to update them.
* '''Fleet Accessibility''' – Uni [[fleets]] often use clear verbal communication and written commands in Fleet chat to support those who may have difficulty following [[Mumble]] voice comms. Fleet Commanders are encouraged to repeat key instructions and avoid jargon-heavy shorthand.
* '''Wiki''' – The Uni Wiki is written with clarity in mind and uses structured headings, concise explanations, and alt-text on key images where possible. If you identify any areas of the wiki where we could improve our accessibility, please let us know.
* '''Accommodations in Learning''' – Players who need extra time to set up, configure UI, or ask clarifying questions are supported in both [[fleets]] and [[classes]].
* '''Fleets''' – Uni fleets often use clear verbal communication and the in-game broadcast fleet settings. wE can't always promise ot have a full set of commands posted into chat, but if you need this we will do our best to provide it. Fleet Commanders are also encouraged to speak clearly and calmly, to repeat key fleet instructionsand to avoid jargon-heavy language. If in doubt, please aks for clarifications.
* '''Community Support''' – [[EVE University]]’s ethos emphasizes patience and inclusivity. Members are encouraged to support one another with setups, fittings, or gameplay approaches that may aid accessibility.
* '''Learning''' – We appreciate that some players need extra time to prepare, reflect on information, process their thoughts, and ask questions. We'll always try to provide this extra time in our content.  
* '''Community Support''' – Our ethos emphasizes kindness and inclusivity. Members are encouraged to support each other, and to be helpful. Again, we come from a range of cultures and backgrounds, and we don't always get things right the first time, but we'll keep trying to be better and to maximise our inclusivity and accessibility.


By combining EVE Online’s built-in features with [[EVE University]]’s culture of patience and inclusion, the University strives to make [[New Eden]] more welcoming to every capsuleer.
