Line 1:

Welcome! 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 8 for when Eve University is at war, which can be quite often.

Welcome! 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|Personnel Officers]] (POs) 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 8 for when Eve University is at war, which can be quite often.

The process can take several days to complete. Whilst you wait please complete the [[Tutorial and Career Agents in Eve|tutorial and career agent mission chains]]. They will provide you with ISK, ships, skillbooks and an all-important taste of the various aspects of Eve life. Completing these chains are a requirement for new players!

Please note that Eve University operates [[Public channel policies|strict policies]] prohibiting profanity and abusive or sexual content within its official chat channels and these rules extend to your character name. If your name is deemed potentially offensive by your SA you may be asked to change it or rejected outright.

'''***IMPORTANT***''' Completing the steps below is a ''requirement'' of a successful application, ''it'' ''is not a guarantee that your application will be successful''. Eve University retains the right to reject any applicant at any point during the process. If you are rejected, '''you will not be told the reason why! '''This is because it would be far too easy for an applicant to re-try the process with a new character were they to be told exactly where they went wrong. This is an unfortunate necessity and is common practice in EVE.

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.

== Step 8 - Join our Public Channel ==

Our public Channel, "E-UNI", is always available to all those who are not hostile toward us. Apart from being an area for general chat and new players to ask questions, it is also the location where new messages are posted regarding any public events in Eve University, and applicants await their turn to speak with a ~~Student Advisor~~.

Apart from being an area for general chat and new players to ask questions, it is also the location where new messages are posted regarding any public events in Eve University, and applicants await their turn to speak with a Personnel Officer.

To join the channel, open the Channels & Mailing Lists window using the small chat bubble icon in the top-right of your chat window.

Once you have received an evemail response to your application, read it carefully. Only when you have received this evemail and meet the requirements it details (including completing your applicant questionnaire as noted in Step 6), are you allowed to begin seeking out one of our Student Advisors.

To get an interview, you must join our automated queue system - any active ~~SAs~~ will work their way through that queue:

To get an interview, you must join our automated queue system - any active POs will work their way through that queue:

*To join the queue, click on this link ''using the in-game browser'': [http://eveuniapp.appspot.com/queue Queue Here].

*Follow the instructions on the page to join and log into the queue, then wait for ~~an SA~~ to call your name in the public "E-UNI" channel.  Some ~~SAs~~ prefer to convo applicants directly, so look out for that.  You should always check out anyone who invites you to a conversation before you accept; genuine ~~SAs~~ will be University members who have a "Student Advisor" title. Please report any attempts at recruitment by personnel who are not official ~~SAs~~.

*Follow the instructions on the page to join and log into the queue, then wait for a PO to call your name in the public "E-UNI" channel.  Some POs prefer to convo applicants directly, so look out for that.  You should always check out anyone who invites you to a conversation before you accept; genuine POs will be University members who have a "Student Advisor" title. Please report any attempts at recruitment by personnel who are not official POs.

*If you miss your call or convo invite, you will be removed from the queue. Please re-queue again when you can pay attention to the E-UNI channel (you will not lose your queue position, merely be removed from the active queue).

Line 153:

Interviews are generally quick chats to cover anything missed in the Questionnaire (Step 6), as well as offering advice and inducting you into the University (assuming you have been accepted).

Please keep in mind that ~~SAs~~ are volunteers, giving up their own free time to help the University. They also play the game and pay for the privilege just like you, so please be patient.
