Finding your first class
If relevant to your programme, you will establish your timetable once you enrol in courses. If getting your timetable sorted seems a bit daunting, we’re experts in this stuff and are very happy to help. Contact us for assistance.
If you still find yourself lost you are welcome to ask others (we’re a friendly bunch at Lincoln), find the beautiful old red brick Ivey building (library) and ask at one of the help desks, or ask at the nearest reception for help. Here is our online campus map.

The Lincoln University Students’ Association Clubs Market is a great way to start the semester and the entire University gets involved.
