You may find the residents handbook useful which also includes the terms and conditions of the residences.

The important thing is not to worry, we understand that this can sometimes happen. If you're unable to pay by the due date you will need to speak with your College Residence Officer before the deadline and they will be able to advise further.

Hi,
Do Biomedical Science students have reading lists? If so, where can I find them.
Also, I've heard from friends from other unis about buying tickets for freshers (sorry, welcome week) events. I haven't heard anything about this myself though, does this apply to Lancaster students?

In terms of welcome week, there are some university wide events listed on the Students' Union website. I'd also recommend looking on the Facebook page for your college where more details about college specific events will be provided. There may be a small number of events ran by your college which require a ticket to be purchased but for many of the events your fresher's wristband and/or tshirt will gain you entry (this will be given to you when you get here!).

Hi again, when are adjustment students likely to get their offers for accommodation?
For the IBS Biomedical Science students, will the non-elective course structure allow for a semester abroad and still lead to accreditation?
