EVE University Medals

This page is specific to EVE University. Other corporations or groups in the game may operate differently. For a summary of EVE University's rules and code of conduct, see EVE University Rules.

EVE University relies on members, staff and management to provide a supportive learning environment for its members and the wider community. When a member goes above and beyond in this, we recognise them by awarding a medal in-game. In the Medal announcement thread, we announce new medal recipients and show appreciation for the efforts those recipients have put in. The medals members can earn are listed below.

There are also a series of forum ribbons that match the EVE University medals. If you want to show them, go to your "user control panel" on the forum, select "Profile" and then "Edit signature". There you can paste in the image address of each ribbon. Feel free to add a mouseover text as well. Medals that have been awarded multiple times show a bronze star for each additional award and a silver star for 5 additional awards.
