Titles within EVE University

This page's intent is to provide information on the the history of EVE University. The information on this page is no longer current.

Progression Titles were used to show where members were on your journey through EVE University and to unlock corporation roles.

These were distinguished from vanity titles which do not provide any specific roles, and the specific titles of staff.

Progression Titles

Progression titles charted a student's progress through the University.

No Progression Title

Members who have just joined EVE University and did not yet have a progression title.

Provided:

• Access to request reimbursement for skillbooks through the Skillbook Program
• Access to the free Flight Deck beginner ship contracts (separate from the Corporation Hangars below)
• Access to the corporate Buyback program at University staging areas and certain trade hubs
• Access to the Ship Replacement Program
• Access to the Free station containers program
• Access to the Mining ship program to order discount or full-price mining ships
• Access to the EVE University Corporation Skill Plans
• The ability to make use of our Perfect Ore Refiners
• The ability to make use of our internal Hauling Service
• The ability to ask members with a Freshman title or higher to take items from the Corporation Hangars for you

Freshman

A new student.

Requirements:

• One or more messages on Discord (any channel qualifies)
• Character had been a member of EVE University for at least 7 days
• Character was at least 31 days old
• Character was fully registered in the EVE University Alliance Auth

Provided:

• Access to reimbursing yourself and other corporation members with the Skillbook Program
• Access to the Corporation Hangars
• Access to The +3 Implants Program

There were no further requirements for this title; they are a simple set of criteria. If you met them all, you could apply and would be granted the title.

Sophomore

A more experienced student who was engaging with the University community in a positive, meaningful way. A Sophomore applicant needed to provide evidence of learning by doing.

Requirements:

• Met current requirements for Freshman, and held the Freshman title
• Character had been a member of EVE University for at least 6 weeks
• Player showed recent engagement within the community (examples are meaningful activity via the EVE University Forum, Wiki and/or ZKillboard, but does not need to be any of these)

Provided:

• Access to the Main Hangar
• Ability to post events to the EVE University Calendar

Earning this title was different from the Freshman title: it waas not a simple matter of checking the boxes. Progression officers attempted to evaluate member activity and make a decision about whether a member had ‘enough’ activity. If we had to boil Sophomore down to one word, it would be ‘participation.’ The Sophomore applicant must demonstrate that they were actively participating in University activities. These activities can really be in almost any aspect of the game.

Graduate

A fully qualified pilot, recognized for their knowledge of game mechanics and their service to the University. This title took a higher degree of effort to earn compared to Sophomore.

Requirements:

• Met current requirements for Sophomore, and held the Sophomore title
• Character had been a member of EVE University for at least 12 weeks
• Player had demonstrated a mastery of a range of EVE game mechanics
• Player was sharing their knowledge and experience with the EVE University community or giving back to the Uni in a meaningful way such as a staff position or content creation

Provided:

• A Graduate Medal

If the key to Sophomore was ‘participation,’ the main aspects of the Graduate title were ‘mastery’ and ‘giving back’. Mastery covered a wide portion of experience in New Eden, and giving back could take a variety of forms.

Staff & Vanity Titles

Staff titles, such as Mentor, Teacher, Professor, and a number of Officer titles, denote an individual's role as an EVE University staff member, officer, or director. Other titles (known as "vanity" titles) are just for fun and are tailored to the individual who holds them. Staff titles are handled by their own departments and vanity titles are awarded through a different process.
