How to Apply for Accommodation
Make yourself at home
You can view the University’s accommodation if you visit us on an Open Day.
Applying for your accommodation
Applying for accommodation at the University of Lincoln is simple. As long as you have accepted an offer of a course, either as a firm or insurance choice, you can apply for accommodation using our On-Line Accommodation Application System. Access to the system is open from 1 March 2013. (A note of both the date of your application and the date of your course offer will be used to prioritise applications made where applicants have a course offer dated prior to 1 March 2013)
Every effort will be made to ensure that you have the accommodation of your choice. We aim to get all first years and overseas students a place in their preffered accommodation or accommodation of a similar style and price pending demand.
Wherever you choose to live during your time here, you can contact our Residential Services for support and advice on any issue on +44 (0)1522 886231 or 886195 or email accommodation@lincoln.ac.uk.
Allocation Process
Please note all offers of accommodation are sent by email to the address used at the point of registration for Accommodation Applications. Applicants should monitor that email address regularly to avoid missing any time sensitive instructions. You can change your preferred email address by logging into the system.
UCAS Students
The Accommodation Service allocates rooms and makes reservations on a first come, first served basis with consideration for first year students, overseas students and students with disabilities.
Once submitted, completed application requests are held while applicants acceptance status with UCAS is monitored by the Residential Service Team. Applicants who make the University of Lincoln their first choice with UCAS have their application passed for processing as noted above and will be able to monitor the status of their application within their personal account via the On-Line process.
At the point of A-Level results, formal offers of accommodation are emailed to applicants. Each student receives an offer letter and a copy of the Residence Agreement, which should be read carefully.
If you are happy to accept the terms offered, you would then need to complete the On-Line Acceptance Process. Specific rooms are assigned after the acceptance is received and notice of this is emailed with information on the arrival process.
Applicants who make the University of Lincoln their insurance choice with UCAS should still complete the On-Line application for accommodation. Such applications are held on record, until confirmation is received that you will be attending the University.
MBA/Postgraduate students
Much of the above information will apply to you but extra consideration is given to the type of accommodation required by more mature students.
For further details please email accommodation@lincoln.ac.uk.
Students at franchise colleges/university transfer
Please contact the Accommodation Service as soon as you have a course offer. When you have confirmation of one from the University’s Admissions Office, your Faculty Office or your Course Leader, we will be able to forward information and application forms to you.
On receipt of your application card, the process is the same as for UCAS students.
For further details please email accommodation@lincoln.ac.uk.
