Frequently Asked Questions
Any questions? Just get in touch with our Enquiries Team by emailing enquiries@lincoln.ac.uk.
I came to an Open Day, so do I need to come to an Offer Holder Day?
Our Offer Holder Days are so much more than an Open Day. They're an opportunity to get information which is much more specific to your chosen course. Also, it may have been a while since you were last on campus so it is a great opportunity to remind yourself about what makes Lincoln so great.
Do I need to bring a guest?
Not at all, if you are coming on your own that's absolutely fine and you'll still be able to get all the information you need.
Do I need to book or can I just turn up on the day?
It's important to book your place at an Offer Holder Day so that we can get an idea of numbers for subject sessions. It also means we can send you all of the important information you need to know before the event.
I can't make my booked date anymore, what should I do?
If you can't make your booked date anymore then let us know either by emailing enquiries@lincoln.ac.uk. Don't forget to book onto another Offer Holder Day as soon as you can.
Lincoln may not be my first choice, should I still come to an Offer Holder Day?
Absolutely! We think it's important that you go to as many different Offer Holder Days as possible to get a real sense of what you want from university and can make an informed choice.
