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 and wait for an RO to call your name in the public "E-UNI" channel. If you miss your call, you will be removed from the queue. Please re-queue again when you can pay attention to the E-UNI channel.

You will likely need to rejoin the queue for between two and six days, depending on how busy things are and how long you spend in-game each day. Please be prepared for this, and ensure you have things to do during this time. Working through the missions in the first [[Getting_Started_In_Eve_Online#The_Sisters_of_Eve_Epic_Arc|epic arc]] while you wait is a good idea, and people in the "E-UNI" channel can often give you advice if you are having problems with the missions. There is no excuse to have nothing to do while you wait - just keep busy and your turn will come around in time.

There is no set interview length, but please ensure you will be available for up to an hour if needed, and possibly a little longer. This time is used to find out a bit about what you are aiming for in-game, to offer you some advice, and to ensure you have been made properly aware of uni rules and facilities, and will not feel completely lost once you become a member.

Our queue system is specifically designed to remember how long you have queued for on previous days, and move you into a place accordingly - the longer you have waited, the closer you will join to the top of the queue. This means for the first couple of days, you will likely notice your queue place increasing because people are rejoining from previous days and feel you are "moving backwards". After accumulating more time, you will be doing the same to other, newer people that have joined the queue.

It can be tempting to simply log in to the game and leave it queued for up to 23 hours while you sleep, go to work, or do other things. Please do not do this - if you are caught, you may well end up not being given an interview at all. If you need to go AFK for more than a couple of minutes, ensure you leave the queue so you do not get punished!

'''NOTE:''' The automated queue system will only work via the in-game browser, so please ensure you are in-game when you try to join the queue.
