Getting Started

Before you arrive, there are a few important tasks for you to complete to help ensure your first week goes as smoothly as possible, leaving you more time to concentrate on settling in, making new friends, and getting to know your course.

Set Your University Account Password and Login for the First Time

You will receive an email asking you to log into your University account and access OneUni to start your registration. Before you do this, you will need to set up a new password for your account.

Follow the link in the email to ‘OneUni’ and click on ‘Log on using your UoL credentials’. This will take you to the University of Lincoln sign-in screen. Enter your student email address, click next, and then click on the ‘Forgot Password’ link and follow the instructions to update your password.

Document Check

Prior to your start date, you will receive a link from our Student Visa Compliance Team. This will list any documents/further steps that are required in order to continue with the Enrolment process, which may include: passport, your United Kingdom Biometric Residence Permit (if applicable), your boarding ticket or flight confirmation (if applicable), and anything else specified in the email. Please be advised that new students may be required to attend also an in-person document verification check.

Pay your Tuition Fee

Overseas fee payers are required to pay £5,000 to enrol onto the first year of the programme, or provide a sponsor letter prior to enrolment for assessment. If you have already paid a CAS deposit of £5,000 you are not required to make an additional payment for the purpose of completing enrolment. If you are studying a Pre-Sessional English course, you are required to pay 100% of your course fees to enrol.

Detailed information about paying your tuition fees can be found on our international payment pages. Fees must either be paid in full, or you need to have set up an agreed payment plan within 21 days of enrolment.

There are exceptions for certain programmes, where you are not required to pay, prior to enrolment.

Formally Complete Your Enrolment

If you are a Student Visa holder you will be required to attend an in-person immigration check before your enrolment is complete. You will be contacted by email, to book an appointment.

You will have access to IT facilities, such as your University email address, the day after you have formally enrolled.

Enrolment is the formal process through which you officially join the University. When you enrol, you confirm your agreement to become a student at Lincoln, to abide by University regulations and to become liable for fee payments, as well as agree to having your personal details checked.
