Welcome to EVE University
Hello & Welcome to EVE University!
By joining EVE Online's premier learning institution, you have taken one of the many steps to becoming successful in New Eden. If you have not yet joined the University, proceed to Applying to EVE University to learn how to get started.
Important Steps
Each step on this page are important and should be followed by new University members. It benefits all members to follow the steps as soon as possible after acceptance in order to orient new pilots, eliminate a lot of confusion and ensure that you are prepared to be involved in the Uni.
First: Chat channels and their use
Note: Before speaking in any channel be sure to read the MOTD to understand the purpose and rules of the channel.
You will be automatically added to the Corp and Alliance chat channels. Through your interview with a personnel officer, you should have been welcomed to the Chat.E-Uni channel as well as some others. It is recommended that remain in this channel as well as Q&A.E-Uni as both are good places to ask for advice and help.
During wartime, which is a normality for the University, you should join LiveIntel.ILN in order to see reports of war target locations. On this channel you can report any war target activity as well, so long as you follow the rules in the MOTD for posting.
- "Corp" chat tab is used to request skillbook reimbursement, hangar requests, etc. This is also where questions about university policies or clarifications about where to ask should go.
- "Alliance" chat tab is for fleet formation. You should only be typing in Alliance to form or join a fleet. To understand how fleets are formed in alliance please read The Rookie's Guide To Fleet Ops. If you still have questions please ask them in corp chat. You will also see events or classes announced in this channel.
The below channels are password protected. The password can be found here.
- "Chat.E-UNI" is the general chat channel for the university. Questions about fleets or fleet formation should not be asked there but should instead be asked in Mess.ILN.
- "Q&A.E-UNI" is a chat-free question and answer channel. Feel free to ask all sorts of questions there. You will find it free of chat so your important questions will not get lost in the constant din of social chatter in other channels.
- "LiveIntel.ILN" is a place where information about current enemies is posted. The password is found under NeoCom -> Social -> Corporation -> Alliances -> Bulletins. Read the Message of the Day at the top, and pay attention to warnings that effect your area of EVE.
- "Mess.ILN" is a chat channel restricted to Uni members. It is focused on PvP but is also used for general socialising. It is the only general chat channel with any form of opsec (only current members can see its contents). Questions about anything happening in Alliance should be asked here as well as advice on all things PvP.
Other channels can be found here Chat Channels and Mailing Lists.
Second: Is the University at war?
EVE University (Ivy League) is almost under constant war from one corporation/alliance or another. Be sure to read throughWartime Operations in EVE University and Applying to EVE University During War so that you understand your options and what we expect of you.
You will also want to read through how to Tips For War, a most excellent write-up with a link other wiki pages and the forum.
Third: Expectations of Students
Students are expected to follow the advice and direction of EVE University staff. And there is also the expectation that students will take responsibility for their own education in reviewing all the material presented to them, such as this wiki page and the wiki pages that the links direct one to. There is a lot of information to get to know. There is nothing wrong in asking in an appropriate channel for help or clarification. Fellow students providing any answers are expected to be providing accurate information and not hearsay or misinformation. Yes, we expect students to do some homework in reviewing the information. EVE University and it's staff cannot be held responsible for actions a student takes against advice or other presented information.
