New Postgraduate Research Students

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.

1

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.

If you have any issues, please use the ‘How to’ – Guide to first time login

Check and Amend Your Personal Details and Upload a Photo for Your Student ID

Once you have updated your password, you will be redirected to OneUni, our student management system, from here, click on 'Taught Student Role' and then click ‘My Tasks’.

Follow the instructions, to update your personal details and upload a photo to be used on your student ID card.

Formally Complete Your Enrolment

We will contact you approximately ten days before the start of your course. You will be asked to log back into OneUni to confirm your enrolment, ready for the first day of teaching. Once you have completed this you will receive email confirmation.

You will have access to IT facilities, such as your University email, 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. All students must enrol at the beginning of each year of study.

Please note that your maintenance loan (if applicable) will be paid by the Student Loans Company five days after we have confirmed that you have enrolled, so delaying enrolment will delay your maintenance loan payment.

EU Students: We may contact you prior to enrolment, to request a copy of your passport and your current immigration status.

Get Connected

As part of your studies with us, you can install Microsoft Office for free on up to five devices (PC, Mac, iOS, Android, and Windows Phone), for the period of your study.
