We are looking forward to welcoming you to the University of Lincoln. Your experience as an international student is very important to us and we are constantly monitoring the current situation surrounding Coronavirus (COVID-19) and taking all necessary steps to support you and your safety.
Our virtual international arrivals lounge has been created to give you lots of information on what to expect when you arrive in the UK and how we can support you while you are here.
When you have accepted your unconditional offer, you will receive an email to confirm your place at the University of Lincoln. You will receive an email from the Student Support Centre. This will include information about how to request your pick-up from the airport. You can also find details, and a link to the International Student Arrival form, on our Travelling to Lincoln page.
Once you have completed and submitted your International Student Arrival form, a member of the Student Support Centre will contact you to confirm the details of your pick-up and will help with any queries you may have regarding your journey to Lincoln.
When you land at the Airport, have collected your luggage and been through Customs, make your way to the meeting point. Details of this will be sent to you in your airport pick-up confirmation email.

In order to embed a shared understanding of individual responsibilities to ensure the University of Lincoln is a safe and secure environment, we have created the guidelines below to help students be aware of their responsibilities when they enter the UK.
The two sections relate to whether you are living in University of Lincoln or private accommodation.
Information includes what you need to do before you arrive in the UK, travelling to your accommodation, what happens when you arrive at your accommodation, what to do if you develop coronavirus symptoms, and advice about banking, mobile phones, faith services and how to access visa and immigration information.
Self-isolation guide for University of Lincoln EU and International students arriving in the UK and living in the University of Lincoln Accommodation
Welcome to the UK and the University of Lincoln.
In order to embed a shared understanding of individual responsibilities to ensure the University of Lincoln is a safe and secure environment, we have created these guidelines to help students be aware of their responsibilities and how they will be supported during any periods of self-isolation.
The UK government has set out guidelines for all people who arrive to the UK in order to minimise the spread of Coronavirus. This means that many people will be expected to take a coronavirus test and receive a negative result within 72 hours of arrival in the UK and also self-isolate for 10 days when they enter the UK. From the 15th February 2021, if you have arrived in the UK from a country considered to be ‘high-risk’, this 10-day isolation period must be in a UK government-approved facility. Details regarding this will be issued by the Government shortly. Self-isolation means that you must stay indoors in order to ensure you are free from the virus and to help ensure the communities in which you live and study are safe for everyone.
This guide is to help you understand the current guidelines regarding self-isolation and what you need to do prior to arriving in the UK and during your 10 days of self-isolation. For more information on self-isolation please visit https://www.gov.uk/uk-border-control/self-isolating-when-you-arrive
