What is Course Advice?
To help you plan your course of study academic staff have been designated as advisers or academic co-ordinators. These people have a detailed knowledge of the programmes and are trained to help students make decisions on what courses to take.
Do I need it?
Lincoln University recommends that all students obtain course advice, however this is not compulsory for all programmes. Details of programmes requiring course advice are listed below, and the LUCAS Student Centre will prompt you if you need course advice to complete your enrolment.
