How to Apply

2027 Entry

Applying for accommodation at Lincoln is simple. If you have accepted Lincoln as your firm choice on UCAS for 2027 entry, you'll soon be able to make your accommodation application using our online booking system. Every effort will be made to ensure that you are allocated accommodation from your preferred options, depending on demand. Applications are expected to open in November 2026.

It is important that you are fully aware of all the information regarding accommodation payments, deadline dates for applying, the details of the contract you will sign, and the associated costs you will be responsible for when renting accommodation.

1

Apply From November 2026

The Booking Portal for applicants who have accepted Lincoln as their firm choice on UCAS for 2027 entry is expected to open in November 2026. You may need to allow up 24 hours after accepting your offer before submitting an accommodation application for our systems to update. You will need your 8-digit University of Lincoln Student ID, which you will have received in your academic offer. It is also included in the email alert you will receive notifying you that applications for accommodation are open.

Choose Your Accommodation

Login and select the ‘new application’ link in the top toolbar. You'll then need to choose the application type, course type, session, and pathway before you can browse the accommodation. Choose your favourite four options, in preference order, by clicking the ‘apply’ button beside your chosen development and then select the room type. The next page enables you to enter 'further details' where you can inform us of any special requirements. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that we will be able to facilitate all requests. If you believe you have additional requirements due to a disability or medical condition that will affect your accommodation allocation, please email Student Wellbeing separately to your application.

Review and Submit

Review and check your choices and preferences on the ‘application summary’ screen before clicking 'submit'. You will then be taken to another screen where you will need to accept our terms and conditions before you are able to submit your application. The next screen will then confirm that you have successfully submitted your application.

Receive Your Room Offer

Once you have submitted your application, you will then receive an offer of a room within five working days. You will have five days to accept this offer and sign the accommodation contract, by ticking a box within the Booking Portal. Please note that this offer will time out if it is not accepted within this time period.
