*'''Skillbooks are only reimbursed for a value up to 1 million ISK'''

~~We do not issue full or partial compensation for skillbooks costing more than 1 million ISK. This means if you buy a skillbook worth 1,000,001 ISK, you will '''not''' be reimbursed.~~

*'''The ~~Skillbook must be seeded by a NPC Corporations~~ and ~~is reimbursed at~~ the ~~NPC Seeded Price'''~~

=== Skillbooks from Hangars ===

Members with [[Freshman]] status or greater are encouraged to check the corporation hangars when looking for skillbooks. The skillbook containers are refreshed periodically, and hold the vast majority of common skills.

Members may take one of each required skillbooks that they can use, but must ensure they follow the normal corp hangar process and ensure any stacks are re-locked. Skillbooks may also be provided to other members who do not currently have hangar access, however excessive usage of this may lead to investigation.

~~Many of the~~ skillbooks ~~in the game~~ are ~~sold and seeded by the various NPC corporations. ~~

It should go without saying that skillbooks provided are not for resale.

~~However, some skillbooks are only available through the loyalty point stores of these corporations.~~

~~There is no set price~~ for ~~these books and as such they are not reimbursed by the University~~.

To request a skillbook from the hangar, simply ask in the Corp chat channel. Where at all possible, please [[autolink]] the skillbook.

~~The books which~~ are ~~seeded by NPC Corporations are able~~ to ~~be reimbursed at~~ the ~~NPC seeded price~~.

=== Skillbook Wallet ===

~~The way~~ to ~~distinguish between skillbooks seeded by NPC corporations and skillbooks being sold by players is to look at~~ the ~~expiration date~~ of the sell order. Only NPC seeded items will have a sell order with an expiration date of 364 days. Player created sell orders will have a maximum expiration date of 89 days. These NPC sell orders renew during the daily scheduled downtime so they always have a 364 day expiration.

Members with [[Student]] status or greater are provided with access to the "Skillbook Wallet" corporation wallet. This allows members to reimburse the cost of skillbooks when the hangars are not accessible.

Rules for Reimbursement:

# '''Skillbooks are reimbursed at NPC seeded prices only.''' These can be identified on the market as sell orders with 364 day expiry. If the skillbook in question is not NPC seeded, then it is not covered by this program.

# '''There is no reimbursement for skillbooks of 1 Million ISK or greater.''' Similarly, there is no partial reimbursement for any skills.

# '''Members may receive reimbursement for one skillbook per day.''' For tracking purposes, this is 00:00 - 23:59 Eve time. Any more fequent will lead to an investigation.

~~There is another category of skillbooks which are both NPC seeded and also available at loyalty point stores.~~

Where feasible, members should check the corporation hangars prior to using the skillbook wallet.

~~A subset of skillbooks in this category are reimbursable as they are both NPC seeded and seeded at a price of 1 miilion isk or less. ~~

~~These skillbooks are not seeded in all regions. They are available according~~ the ~~racial specialization of a region's faction~~.

~~--A separate article listing these skills is forthcoming.~~

==== Personal Reimbursement ====

*'''Reimbursement for up to THREE skillbooks and up to 1M isk total value at a time'''

You may only request reimbursements for no more than three (3) skillbooks at a time, and no more than a total value of 1 million isk for all skillbooks, within any 24 hour period. Limited funds are available in the Skillbook Wallet, and combined with the popularity of the program and given the amount of students, we ask that you only request reimbursements within these limits. This is usually the amount of skills you can usefully train in a short period.

~~==Procedure==~~

*'''When possible check the corporate hangar to see if your skillbook is available'''

A limited selection of donated skillbooks are provided for free in the skillbook containers in the Hangars. If you do not have access, simply ask a Uni member to grab one for you. (Please see [[Corporation Hangar]] for information on how to use the Hangars). However, if you either (a) cannot find the skillbook you need there, (b) do not have the proper access to check and nobody else is available to check for you, or (c) are simply too far away from HQ that it would be too great of an inconvenience to fly back for a single skillbook, then always feel free to either ask for reimbursement or make use of the Skillbook Wallet instead.

*'''How to ask for reimbursement'''

~~''Please ask for reimbursement before purchasing your skillbooks in order to avoid any confusion regarding the amount you will be reimbursed.''~~

If you are unable to get the skillbook you want from the corporate hangar, then '''any E-UNI pilot with the 'Student' title may transfer the money to you from the corporate Skillbook Wallet'''. Simply ask politely in Corp chat if someone with the student title is free to help you, then let them know what book you want and how much it costs. If you don't get an answer, ask again at about 5-minute intervals. When asking for skillbook reimbursement [[auto-linking]] the skillbook is an aid and a courtesy to those who would reimburse you.
