This will get your application entered into our short queue and ensure you have access to our services (Discord, Mumble, Forum). Please complete all steps to avoid delays with your application. Do not apply with any other characters than your main, you can get additional characters into EVE University once you are a member.
If you are a member already and want to add another character to the corporation, please check out Adding additional characters or Adding Alt Characters that are on different accounts.
An overview of the application process
1. Download and install Mumble and Discord. These are used for voice communication during fleets, general in-corp communication and our classes.
2. Authorize your character in the EVE University Alliance Auth system and fill out the application form. Please do not apply with any additional characters before your main character application has been processed and you have joined EVE University.
3. Wait for your application to be reviewed by an Intake Officer, this process may take up to 48 hours. While you wait, set up your Overview according to E-UNI standards.
4. After your application has been reviewed, you will get an in-game mail (EVE Mail) with any next steps. Most applicants will be invited to join immediately, in rare cases you may need to attend an interview.
Our staff are volunteers who enjoy playing actively just like you do. We cannot guarantee they will be processing applications while online. Please be patient, and if you have any problems, ask on Discord in #alliance-auth or #eve-uni-public-help. If you have trouble setting up Discord, feel free to reach out to our staff in our in-game chat channel EVE University or send them an in-game mail directly.
Applying to join EVE University - Step-by-step Walkthrough
1 - Before applying, download and install Mumble and Discord. If you have any problem setting them up, please contact any of our Intake Officers or ask for help in the #alliance-auth or #eve-uni-public-help channels on Discord. If you have trouble setting up Discord, feel free to reach out to our staff in our in-game chat channel EVE University or send them an in-game mail directly.

6 - You will see a list of services available for you to action.
All services are mandatory as they are needed for in-corp communication. You will have guest access until you are accepted as a member of EVE University.
Each service actions slightly differently:
~ Hit the check mark next to Discord. This will automatically open Discord to add you to our Discord server. Your nickname will automatically be set to your character name.
~ Hit the check mark next to phpBB3Forum. This will automatically create an account for you on our forum. Your Credentials will then be displayed, see below:
Save that password! Open EVE University Forum and log in using those credentials.
Clicking continue on the Credentials page will take you back to Services.
You can change your password using the 'pencil' icon.
~ Hit the check mark next to Mumble. This will create an account for you and you will get a Mumble Credentials pop-up.
Save that password!
Hitting continue on your Credentials page will take you back to Services, where you will see your Mumble services links.
You can change your password using the pencil icon later, and log on to Mumble using the arrow.
Click the arrow to log into mumble using your credentials.
Once logged in, to save your details and be able to log onto Mumble directly, you just need to go to Server --> Connect --> Add New --> Fill --> Save.
When you join EVE University, your member permissions will update automatically; this should take no longer than 24 hours.
7 - Click the Member Audit button on the left hand bar. Hit 'Register'!
8 - You will see a list of 'scopes'.
These are permissions we ask you to make visible to our recruiters.
Please hit 'Authorize'.

To make this character visible to recruiters, you need to hit the yellow 'eye' icon beneath your picture.
It will ask if you are sure you want to share this character (yes, you're sure!)
On a shared character, the little yellow eye will become crossed out and grey:
10 - Next you will need to go to 'Applications' in the left hand menu.
Click on the green 'Create Applications' box.
11 - You will be prompted to choose a Corp to apply to. Choose EVE University.
That will take you to a short application that you will need to complete.

You will receive an in-game mail from one of the Intake & Progression Officers as soon as they have reviewed your Application; this is usually within a day or two. Please be patient, however, as all of our staff are volunteers giving up their playtime!
Adding Additional Characters
In addition to your designated main character you are allowed to have up to three additional characters in EVE University.
Anything over this is considered on a case by case basis. To reduce Intake Officer workload, please check with the Intake and Progression Manager if you intend to have more than three characters within EVE University.
To add your alt, you will need to navigate back to your Dashboard, where you should see 'Add Character' beneath your portrait.
Log in again, selecting the character you want to bring into EVE University. Accept the Auth scopes.
You will then be able to see this character in your Dashboard.
THERE IS NO NEED TO 'CHANGE MAIN'!

Alts DO NOT need to set up Services (as your main already has them).

Select Create Application --> EVE University
In the drop down menu, select the applying character.
For the question, 'What - if any - experience do you have in EVE', please put in your main character's name.

Joining when EVE University is at war
As a large group with lots of inexperienced players, EVE University can seem an attractive target. Some corporations declare war on EVE University in order to try to get easy kills on their killboard. While the amount of war declarations against EVE University has declined, there is always a possibility of having war declared on us.
Sometimes we also have mutual wars for training our members and/or for fun. War and PVP combat is an important part of EVE Online which we want our members to be prepared for and therefore it is a good training scenario.
EVE University rarely declares war on other corporations but will react swiftly when aggressed. We strive to end 'unfriendly' wars quickly, but it is impossible for us to avoid being eligible for war entirely.
How can you tell if EVE University is at war?
To check whether EVE University is currently at war, search for Ivy League (the Alliance EVE University belongs to) under the 'Contacts' tab in game.
Then right click on Ivy League and select “Show info”.
This will bring up a profile of information on Ivy League as below. Select the “War history” tab and look at the top of the list for any active or pending wars.
In the unlikely event that we are in an active war when you join, check out how to Avoid Losses to War Targets and Wartime Operations in EVE University before accepting the Corporation Invitation.
When we are at war, you will see a crossed swords icon on the top left of your screen.
Once you are a member of EVE University, what next?
Our Welcome to EVE University page provides basic information to get you started. It also contains information about the services and programs available to you.
If you have any issues with the application process, our Intake Officers are here to help! Feel free to ask for an Intake Officer in our public channel in-game or by asking a member to ping for an Intake and Progression Officer on Discord.
If you have any complaints, please contact the Manager of Intake and Progression.
