Enrolment
Joining the University
Enrolment is the formal process through which you officially join the University. When you register and enrol, you confirm your agreement to become a student at 91快活林, to abide by University regulations, to become liable for fee payments, as well as to having your personal details checked. All students must register and enrol at the beginning of each year of study.
We have developed a self-service system which will enable you to register and enrol remotely.
We understand that some students may need support to complete the enrolment steps. If you are having difficulty completing enrolment, please check the Enrolment and Re-enrolment Frequently Asked Questions provided below, or alternatively watch the video below.
If you still need support to complete your enrolment, University staff will be available to help you in the Enrolment Suite on campus. The Enrolment Suite is by appointment only, and appointments can be booked via from Monday 13th January 2025 for the week commencing 20th January 2025 and will be updated for the following weeks nearer the time.
We will be working with Student Finance England to ensure that our arrangements are compliant with their requirements for us to confirm that you are in attendance and that your student Maintenance Loan payment can be released. We will send you the details well in advance of your course start date so that you can complete your enrolment quickly.
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.
For non visa holders, enrolment can be completed entirely online without coming to the Enrolment Suite, so you only need to book an appointment if you are experiencing difficulties. Otherwise please use the dropdowns below to select the enrolment option that applies to you and complete enrolment.

I’ve completed all my outstanding tasks but my registration status hasn’t changed. What should I do?
If you believe you have completed all of your registration tasks in OneUni but your registration status is not yet showing as Registered or Re-registered, please double-check in the Student Overview that you have no outstanding tasks to complete. Once your status is showing as Registered Pending Enrolment or Re-registered Pending Enrolment, the final ‘Confirmation of Studies’ task for UK/EU students will appear in the ‘My Tasks’ section ten days before the start of your course. International Students will complete this after they have had their in-person immigration check.
If you are an international student and have a query about visas, entry dates into the UK, or documents required by the University, please email enrolmentdocuments@lincoln.ac.uk.
Please email enrolment@lincoln.ac.uk and provide us with as much information as possible, including your student ID number.
Student Finance England will only release funding to an enrolled student three to five days after their course start date, regardless of when they enrol prior to this date. You can check the status of your Student Finance payments online at: .
If your payment status shows as "ready to be paid" then you will see the date your first term payment is expected. If the status shows "awaiting confirmation" this means Student Finance are awaiting confirmation of your enrolment from the University. Data is uploaded daily as enrolments are completed, so if you enrolled in the last 24 hours, your status may not refresh immediately. If you are experiencing any of the technical issues above and are worried this could delay your loan funding, please contact dt@lincoln.ac.uk.
If technical issues cannot be resolved, we can confirm your registration manually with the SLC if necessary. If you are worried about your university finances, our Student Support Centre have expert advisors who can provide confidential advice, including information on how to apply for financial assistance. If you are in this situation, please email studentsupport@lincoln.ac.uk.
