Before you start at Lincoln College, you will need to enroll. Enrollment consists of your College Registration and your University Registration (both completed online before your arrival) and your In-Person Verification, completed in person upon your arrival at College.

College Registration

There are a number of college forms that must be completed and returned before you join us as a new student. All documentation must be submitted by Monday 7 September 2026 at the very latest. Please follow the step-by-step guide below to ensure you've completed all pre-arrival activities:

Step 1: Sign the declaration of your Student College Contract

Please save this as a PDF and upload to the College Form (step 6).

Step 2: Complete the University Card Form

Please save this form as a PDF file and upload to the College Form (step 6). You will also be required to upload a passport-sized photo. Please note that only written signatures (either ink or electronic) are accepted – typing your name is not sufficient.

Step 3: Pay the College Deposit of £400

This training will be available from 1 September 2026; you will need to log in with your SSO to access it. If you have completed your College registration and returned your card form, you should receive your SSO shortly.

Step 10: Submit your Bank Details to the Accounts Office

Please submit your UK bank details to our Accounts Office; the College will use these details to pay any grants or awards throughout your enrolment. If at any point you close or change your bank account, please make sure to update it. You will need your SSO to complete this form.

Please see our international students page for further info.  If you have not received your visa documentation by 7 September, you should complete steps 1-8 above by the deadline, and then upload your visa documentation as soon as it is available.

Please complete all of the above steps by Monday 7 September 2026; they are essential to you registering as a student and starting at Lincoln College.

University Registration

The University uses an online registration system. They will contact you directly (using your email address on UCAS) with instructions following the completion of your College Registration and issue of your University Card.  They will use your email address on UCAS so please make sure that it is up-to-date. Also, please note that it may take up to 14 working days to process your card application.

You should complete your University Registration as soon as possible after receiving the email. Please see the University registration guide for more details.
