Leaving EVE University

Whether it's just that time to move on, taking an apprenticeship, or you just want to get away for a bit, this page will cover what you need to know.

Leaving the Uni

There comes a time when each and every student decides for themselves that it's time to move on from EVE University having received the training and education in those areas that interest them the most. This is very normal and it's what we expect. Some stay on in staff positions and a few stay on even longer in management roles. Some pilots also just decide to stay, which they are welcome to. As long as they are happy to follow the rules and understand their gameplay experience will be limited compared to the wider galaxy of New Eden and what other great player corps and alliances have to offer.

Steps to follow

In order to leave EVE University in-game you simply need to righ-click on yourself and select from the menu "Quit Corporation?" and if you have roles or grantable roles you will have to "Remove all roles and grantable roles". You should then be able to leave by selecting "Confirm Quit Corporation" and you are out of the Uni and will be placed in a default NPC corporation. Alternatively you may be joining another player corp and once you have removed all roles and grantable roles you'll be able to accept an Invite into your new player corp. There should not be any cooldown period required after you drop your roles. This existed prior and CCP found this mechanic to no longer be necessary.

Feel free to say good-bye and/or let us know what you're up to (such as dropping to get away from war or taking an apprenticeship) via the Hi and Bye forum. This is not a necessary step, but if you're moving on it's a great way to say good-bye and hear from your bros and other well-wishers. If you are only dropping for a short period this helps to let us know to expect you back.

If you are dropping for a short period it is important that you keep in mind that if we are at war we will not be able to invite you back into the Uni until 7 days have passed or any active wars have ended, which ever comes first.

Old Unistas never die, they just smell like it...

Once you have left the bosom of EVE University you are still considered a member, as an alumnus. You will retain access to the majority of our forums, Mumble, and in-game chat channels. You will still be able to take many of our internal classes and of course our public classes. You still have significant access to our community and we ask that you honour that access. Should we discover that you are using your access inappropriately we will have to take steps to remove your access. EVE University is very unique with our openess and access as a community but that doesn't mean we will tolerate those who abuse that or our trust.

If you are only leaving temporarily please keep in mind that we expect you to follow our Rules and Code of Conduct while being away.

"Suddenly" find yourself out of the Uni?

If you have not been logging into EVE Online you will eventually hit a point of being inactive for more than a month. We routinely remove, usually once a week, pilots who have hit this stage of inactivity. Should you find yourself in this position please re-apply to the Uni as outlined below. We will get to you as quick as possible to bring you back in.

Can you make an exception for me?

Unfortunately we can't. If we did allow this there would be many pilots asking us to do this for them and we'd probably have to create an entirely new sub-department just to manage this. We are very busy as it is working to bring in newbros and other returning members.
