Apply and Enrol

1. Create your MyLinc Account:

Create an account and submit your application in MyLinc. 
Use an email that you can access and a password you can remember. We recommend monitoring your email spam or junk folders for account verification emails. If these don’t arrive, contact us for help.

 2. Make your study application: 

Once your MyLinc account is set up, log in to make your application. Let us know what you would like to study and give us as much information as you can, as this will help speed up your application. You can save your progress and come back later to complete your application. 

We ask for information about: 

• Your chosen study programme
• When you expect to start
• Your previous study, including your last year of high school
• Your English language test results (if English is not your first language)
• Other documents to support your application if applicable. 

If you are unable to provide your documents in your application, email them to mylinc@lincoln.ac.nz. 

 3. Monitor your emails

We’ll keep in touch with you about your application via email and may ask for more information. Once we have everything we need, and if you meet the criteria for your chosen qualification, you will receive an offer letter via email. 

 4. Accept your offer on MyLinc

After you accept your offer on MyLinc, you’ll receive instructions on how to complete your enrolment. You’ll also get your LU username, password and email address. These are sent via email, so monitor your junk/spam folders.  

 5. Check any conditions in your Offer Letter

If we require supporting documentation, please supply that as soon as possible so we can move you through the enrolment process more quickly. If we’ve asked you to provide evidence of your identity, read the instructions carefully. 

1. View the course timetable

You create your own timetable, depending on the courses that you select each semester. Viewing the timetable helps you to understand what your schedule will look like before enrolling.

2. Know how you are funding your studies

During the enrolment process, we will ask you how you plan to pay your fees. If you're applying to StudyLink, you might not appear to be eligible until you enrol in your courses. Don’t let that stop you from getting your application in as early as possible to prevent hold-ups.  

Ensure you have considered scholarship options too. 

3. Log into LUCAS

Use the instructions you received via email after accepting your offer. Login and look for the Tasks tile to see if there is anything on your ‘To Do’ list. After completing each task, you will either be assigned a new task or have the ability to select the Enrol tile to choose courses.  

For most students, enrolment involves a combination of completing ‘To Do’ list tasks, enrolling in semesters and courses, and checking your emails in case we need important information to progress your enrolment. 

4. Enrol in courses

When enrolling, first select the Term (semester) and then select Add Classes (courses to study within that semester). If the system won’t allow you to progress, it is likely you have items in your ‘To Do’ List to complete.  

If you enrol in a course and change your mind, that’s okay, but you will need to act before the deadline to enrol in or change courses. See the Key Dates section for deadlines.

 5. You've completed your enrolment

Once all your tasks are complete and you have enrolled in courses, you will get an email confirming your enrolment with information on what comes next. Well done.
