Hi I had a similar issue! Firstly, try a different browser if possible, as many steps in the registration refused to work for me due to my browser's privacy settings. I also found I was able to register after all "pending" sections had been approved, and this took a few days. My course is compulsory yr1 however I was able to view the modules page. It sounds like you are already in the process of contacting them which will hopefully help otherwise. Hope you can get it sorted :smile:

Several people having issues. Depts haven’t finished uploading module info so it comes up with error (missing pathway) - think they are starting to fix it as we are all telling them about it.. still waiting for mine to list… compulsory in first year too but need to wait till they are listed

Hi there

Yes, if you are facing issues when enrolling for modules, its best to contact your department. Departments may still be on the verge of finalising the module courses hence it creates an error or it may simply be a tech issue that can be fixed by restarting your device or reviewing the settings on your device.

Here is the link to our departments if you need to contact them regarding this https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/faculties-and-departments/.

Hope this helps and good luck with selecting your modules!

Hi,

I've checked and you should be receiving an induction email soon that will provide you with all the relevant information, including payment dates. You will then also receive invoice information closer to your arrival.
I'd imagine that the payment dates would be similar to last year's.

Hope this helps,

Hello Anon,

They don’t call them superior en-suites anymore it’s just shared and ensuite with different house names.

However, from what I recall (came to uni 2020 when they still named them superior ensuite),
Bowland Halls do have ensuite rooms but I’m pretty sure the superior ensuites are in the tower block.

Hope this helps,
Dom

Hi, would anyone be able to tell me how much a return bus ticket costs? (Like for the 100/1A from campus to town)
I've looked on the Stagecoach website and can only seem to find the dayrider price?
Thanks :smile:

hi, I'm trying to apply or sign up for the Lancaster Award, but I'm a bit stuck. The student portal directed me to the CareersConnect website to book the Introductory session, which I did, but now I'm kind of lost. I can't seem to find any further information or steps on the website related to the Lancaster Award. Can anyone offer some help pls?

Hi there,
I think booking in the session with the Careers team is a good first step, as they are the ones who are best equipped to answer any questions you have a give you more information and insight into the process.
You could also talk to your academic advisor as they also often know about the award.
I can include a link as well to the Lancaster Award Ask page to give you more of a brief overview of what it's about.

Hi Anon,
I've found its usual for your timetable to change each week because some weeks you might have extra or less seminars or labs ect. In terms of finding a job, maybe look for weekend or evening work as there wont be any timetabled lessons then. Also, it might be work looking at the careers services website for part time jobs, Vacancy Search Results - Lancaster University’s Employment and Recruitment Service (lancaster-university.co.uk ), as a lot of these jobs are flexible as you can work different hours each week dependent to fit around your timetable. Hope this helps!
