For security purposes, the recruitment officer you speak to will ask you to provide them with your UserID 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 are perfectly safe. Once ~~recieved~~, your API Key is then entered into an internally developed program by the RO, which ~~gives them~~ 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 ROs do not keep records of your API code.

These items can be found here: http://myeve.eve-online.com/api, and the page also contains further information, from CCP themselves, on how API codes are safe.

'''Note''': if you are currently on a trial account and you wish to convert to a paid subscription, note that access to your API key will put in a 3-day lockout when you convert your account. If you cannot provide us with your User ID and limited API key, the UNI will be unable to accept you until you can do so. Therefore, we recommend that you retrieve and record your User ID and limited API key '''before''' you convert from a trial a paid subscription.
