Will you live on campus?
Campus residents should be ready to move in on Saturday 28 or Sunday 29 September 2024, depending on your college's arrival day, which is listed below. Your college will contact you with details about the arrangements for your arrival. When you get here you will be greeted by college staff and student Welcome Reps keen to introduce themselves and help you move in, before Welcome Week events get underway. We aim to give every new student a very warm welcome to Lancaster and make sure you feel comfortable, settled and supported.

Or are you a commuter student?
Undergraduates
If you're set to commute to University rather than live on campus, then you're invited to the New Commuter Student Welcome event on Wednesday 25 September 2024. It will include a campus tour, introduction to your college and a chance to meet other new students. More details and sign-up instructions will be published here and provided to new students as soon as they are available.
Postgraduates
There will be a welcome session for new and continuing postgraduates who plan to live in town or commute locally that will take place in the city centre on Tuesday 24 September. It's an opportunity to meet staff and students, and to ask any questions you may have.
All students
All students, including those who live off campus, should then come to campus throughout Welcome Week, so you can take part in activities. Whether or not you live in your college, you are very much a member of the community and welcome at introductory events, and all the activities that will be arranged throughout your time at Lancaster.
