Arriving at Lincoln

Lincoln College is one of three colleges on Turl Street in the centre of Oxford. The address is Lincoln College, Turl Street, Oxford, OX1 3DR; you can find our exact location on an interactive online map. The first thing inside the College is a reception desk known as the Lodge, which is staffed by Porters 24 hours a day.

Your scheduled arrival date is Sunday 6 October 2024, which is also when your accommodation contract begins. You will be asked to select an arrival slot in order to help us to manage arrivals at college. These will be circulated to you in late August/ early September.

For students arriving by car at the start of term, there is limited parking available on Turl Street, directly outside the College. Temporary parking permits can be collected from the Lodge when you arrive. This should be displayed in the windscreen of your car while you unload and move into your accommodation. The Porters will provide you with an access fob and the key to your room.

If you are travelling from overseas and are unable to arrive on Sunday 6 October, you must contact us as soon as possible to discuss alternative arrangements. You may request early arrival from 4 October, but please note that this is not guaranteed and is subject to availability. Students with extenuating circumstances will need to complete an application form and return it to the Accommodation Office by 9 September.

If you are travelling from abroad, please, make sure to check the International Students section.

In-Person Verification

Undergraduate In-Person Verification takes place Monday 7 October 2024. You will be emailed a time slot the week prior. This is the final stage of the enrollment process; your In-Person Verification can only be carried out if your admission is complete and you have returned all of the required College and University documentation.

If you are not a UK or Irish citizen, you must upload copies of your passport ID page and Biometric Residence Permit (both sides) / visa / share code to the College's secure visa portal prior to arrival. If you have an online eVisa, or pre-settled/settled status, you should be able to obtain a share code from the Government website. You should then bring the original documents to your In-Person Verification session to be verified. Overseas students are not permitted to enroll until this process is complete.
