What do I need to know?
Please secure your accommodation before arriving in the UK to study. This will ensure that you have no difficulty confirming your course at immigration or police registration (if required).
How do I book my room?
Once it is confirmed that you can return to on-campus learning, and if you have requested accommodation, the Central Student Support team will contact you with the latest information on available options and fees.
*University accommodation is compulsory for under 18 students.
Arranging your own accommodation privately
If you are booking your own accommodation privately it is important that you let us know where you are staying.
Two weeks' free accommodation prior to the start of Welcome Week
If UK Government guidance at the time of your travel requires you to self-isolate on arrival in the UK, you may wish to arrive on campus early so that you can complete the self-isolation period before the start of Welcome Week, or the start of term if you are a returning student. Or, you may wish to arrive early so that you can familiarise yourself with campus, Lancaster and the local area.
If you are staying on campus, we will provide up to two weeks’ accommodation free of charge prior to the start of Welcome Week if you are a new student, or the start of term if you are a returning student. Our accommodation team will contact you about booking your accommodation and will provide information about arriving early. When you reply, please let them know if you wish to arrive early. You will not be charged for the extra accommodation.
This offer is for those who have booked University accommodation on campus for the academic year 2021/22 and is not available for those who have booked their accommodation privately. If you have booked private accommodation for the year ahead you will need to liaise with your landlord if you wish to arrive early. Please contact your accommodation provider to ask about this.
Look out for fraud
Scammers may specifically target international students so it is important to be able to recognise common signs of fraudulent activity and know what to do if you come across it. Let us know at fraudreporting@studygroup.com if you have any concerns about fraudulent activity when dealing with a private accommodation provider so that we can help to protect you and other international students in case they are targeted in the same way.
