{{eunispecific}}{{Template:HR Navbar}}'''Titles''' are sets of corporation '''roles''' such as hangar access, and have specific designations within [[EVE University]]. These should be distinguised from '''vanity titles''' which do not provide any specific roles, and the specific titles of [[EVE University Management|staff]].
==What is the EVE Uni API key==
 
The University requires every one of its members, may it be students, staff or faculty, to provide an API key. What in the name of Bob is an API key, will you ask ? Well, it is a tool CCP devised in order to allow 3rd party tools (such as EVEmon, EFT, Pyfa, Fleet-up, to name a few) to pull information from your account '''without being able to take any actions in your stead''' - in short, it allows you to give a very controlled monitoring right to a third party.
 
Most corporations of significance in EVE will require you to provide such a key, in order to do background checks and, in general, maintain the security of their assets. EVE University follows that norm, and you can be assured that nobody will be able to check out everything you have and do : it is a simple measure of security, and staff only sees the relevant information for their job (mostly : is your API key working at all !)
 
  
==Step one : Go to the University's Tools==
+
''' Please note that all titles are a privilege, not a right, and as such may be rescinded without notice. '''
The [http://tools.eveuniversity.org/ Tools] is the university's main third party database and administrative tool. This is where a prospective student can apply to the Uni, and where current members can request their advancement [[Titles]]. As it turns out, it's also where you can update your API key !
 
First, you will have to log in using the [[lexicon#SSO|SSO]], then go to the 'Update API' tab :
 
[[File:Tools-homepage-updateAPI.png]]
 
  
==Step two : Create an API key following the proper mask==
+
== Checking Your Own Titles ==
In order to create your API key, you will have to go to the official CCP website using [https://community.eveonline.com/support/api-key/CreatePredefined?accessMask=799940875 this link] (also right on the tools' page)
 
  
Don't forget to tick the "No expiry" check box such as the API key doesn't stop working after a year (by default). This will make sure you do not have to go through this process again, unless there is a change in our required API mask (the information the API key gives access to).
+
To view your active titles, open your Character Sheet, then click on your character's name, which will bring up your character's info page. Any titles you currently hold will be listed under your character's name.
[[File:API-no-expiry-checkbox.png]]
 
  
Now it's just a matter of validating the creation of the API key.
+
Please note that the EVE University Titles Department will usually '''not''' send any correspondence to inform you of changes to your titles. It is therefore up to you to periodically check if a requested title has been applied or not.
  
==Step three : update your Tools account with the proper API information==
+
''For any other questions not answered here, or by the [[Titles Frequently Asked Questions|Titles FAQ]], you can contact the [[EVE University Management#Title Manager|Titles Manager.]] Any questions already answered on the wiki or other public and general announcements will not receive a response.
Once this is done, your last step is to enter the correct two chains of characters securing your new API key into the tools, and validating the modification. You're done !

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

:* Player shows recent engagement within the community (examples are meaningful activity via the [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/ Forum], [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/ Wiki] and/or [http://killboard.eveuniversity.org/ Killboard], but does not need to be any of these)

This title is different than Freshman.  It is not a simple matter of checking the boxes.  Titles Staff attempt to evaluate your activity and make a decision about whether you have ‘enough’ activity.  If we had to boil Sophomore down to one word, it would be ‘participation.’  The Sophomore applicant must demonstrate that they are actively participating in University activities.  These activities can really be in almost any aspect of the game.  For more information, see the [[Titles Frequently Asked Questions]].
 +
 
 +
=== Graduate ===
 +
A fully qualified pilot, recognized for their knowledge of game mechanics and their service to the University. This title takes a higher degree of effort to earn compared to Sophomore, and many students do not attain it before they decide they are ready to move on to other adventures in New Eden.
 +
 
 +
: '''Requirements:'''
 +
:* Player has demonstrated a mastery of a range of EVE game mechanics (this can be done via the [http://forum.eveuniversity.org Forum], [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/ Wiki] and/or [http://killboard.eveuniversity.org/ Killboard], but could also be demonstrated in a wide variety of other ways)

 +
:* Character has been a member of [[EVE University]] for at least 12 weeks

: '''Provides:'''
 +
:* Everything a Sophomore has (Skillbook Wallet, Alpha Hangar, Research and Calendar Access)
 +
:* A [[EVE_University_Medals|Graduate Medal]]
 +
 
 +
Just as the requirements for Sophomore are rather different from Freshman, so are the Graduate requirements.  If the key to Sophomore is ‘participation,’ the main aspects of the Graduate title are ‘mastery’ and ‘giving back’. Mastery should cover a wide portion of New Eden, and Service can take a variety of forms, but both are considered by senior staff when reviewing an application. Subsequently, Graduate applications may take longer to process than the other progression titles ; but be assured this is only a consequence of the more thorough evaluation that ensures EVE University Graduates are held to our standards. For more information, see the [[Titles Frequently Asked Questions]].
 +
 
 +
== 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. Both staff and vanity titles are awarded through a different process, and are not handled by the Titles Department.
 +
 
 +
== Requesting a Title ==
 +
 
 +
To claim your title, ensure that you meet the requirements fully, then log in to the [http://tools.eveuniversity.org/ EVE University Tool] using EVE SSO.

Revision as of 06:55, 19 July 2017

20th Anniversary Eagle Logo.png This page is specific to EVE University. Other corporations or groups in the game may operate differently.
For a summary of EVE University's rules and code of conduct, see EVE University Rules.

Template:HR NavbarTitles are sets of corporation roles such as hangar access, and have specific designations within EVE University. These should be distinguised from vanity titles which do not provide any specific roles, and the specific titles of staff.

Please note that all titles are a privilege, not a right, and as such may be rescinded without notice.

Checking Your Own Titles

To view your active titles, open your Character Sheet, then click on your character's name, which will bring up your character's info page. Any titles you currently hold will be listed under your character's name.

Please note that the EVE University Titles Department will usually not send any correspondence to inform you of changes to your titles. It is therefore up to you to periodically check if a requested title has been applied or not.

For any other questions not answered here, or by the Titles FAQ, you can contact the Titles Manager. Any questions already answered on the wiki or other public and general announcements will not receive a response.

Progression Titles

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

Freshman

A new student.

Requirements:
  • One or more forum posts (Hi & Bye forum included)
  • Character has been a member of EVE University for at least 7 days
  • Security Status greater than -4
  • Omega clone state
  • Character is at least 31 days old
Provides:

There are no further requirements for this title; they are a simple set of criteria. If you meet them all, you will be granted the title. If you do not, please wait until you meet all of the requirements before applying.

Sophomore

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

Requirements:
  • Player shows recent engagement within the community (examples are meaningful activity via the Forum, Wiki and/or Killboard, but does not need to be any of these)
  • Freshman Title
  • Character has been a member EVE University for at least 6 weeks
  • Security Status greater than -4
  • Omega clone state
Provides:

This title is different than Freshman. It is not a simple matter of checking the boxes. Titles Staff attempt to evaluate your activity and make a decision about whether you have ‘enough’ activity. If we had to boil Sophomore down to one word, it would be ‘participation.’ The Sophomore applicant must demonstrate that they are actively participating in University activities. These activities can really be in almost any aspect of the game. For more information, see the Titles Frequently Asked Questions.

Graduate

A fully qualified pilot, recognized for their knowledge of game mechanics and their service to the University. This title takes a higher degree of effort to earn compared to Sophomore, and many students do not attain it before they decide they are ready to move on to other adventures in New Eden.

Requirements:
  • Player has demonstrated a mastery of a range of EVE game mechanics (this can be done via the Forum, Wiki and/or Killboard, but could also be demonstrated in a wide variety of other ways)
  • Player has shared their knowledge and experience with the EVE University community
  • Sophomore Title
  • Character has been a member of EVE University for at least 12 weeks
  • Omega clone state
Provides:
  • Everything a Sophomore has (Skillbook Wallet, Alpha Hangar, Research and Calendar Access)
  • A Graduate Medal

Just as the requirements for Sophomore are rather different from Freshman, so are the Graduate requirements. If the key to Sophomore is ‘participation,’ the main aspects of the Graduate title are ‘mastery’ and ‘giving back’. Mastery should cover a wide portion of New Eden, and Service can take a variety of forms, but both are considered by senior staff when reviewing an application. Subsequently, Graduate applications may take longer to process than the other progression titles ; but be assured this is only a consequence of the more thorough evaluation that ensures EVE University Graduates are held to our standards. For more information, see the Titles Frequently Asked Questions.

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. Both staff and vanity titles are awarded through a different process, and are not handled by the Titles Department.

Requesting a Title

To claim your title, ensure that you meet the requirements fully, then log in to the EVE University Tool using EVE SSO. Once logged in, ensure you have an up to date API registered with the tool and request a title via the titles tab.

Failure to leave a valid API recorded in the tool will result in any title request being rejected.

Only one title should be requested at a time, multiple simultaneous requests will be denied.

As we discuss on the FAQ, we can only evaluate your application based on the data we can see. If you think that there are other factors that Titles Staff needs to consider, or individuals that we should contact regarding your application, please make use of the text box on the application form to give us the information that we need.

Please Note

  • If you rejoin EVE University on a different character, you will not be able to regain your previous title as they do not transfer to your new character. You would need to earn the titles again as if you are a new member.
  • When requesting a title you have held in the past, only request the most senior title. Example - If you held Graduate apply directly for Returning Graduate.
  • Additionally when requesting a title you have held before you must press the Remove Titles button in the tool so you can request the title again. This simply removes the block that prevents someone requesting a title the tool believes they already hold, it does not affect anything in-game.
  • If you wish to include references in your application, please see the Titles FAQ about how to do so properly.
  • It can take some time for a title to be applied due to the various checks that are required for each applicant.
