Stay safe online

We want all our students to be safe from phishing attacks and scams. Please look out for messages from online fraudsters pretending to be from Lancaster University, or organisations such as UCAS, Student Finance or The Student Loans Company. If an email seems suspicious, or asks you to update bank details or verify personal details, then it may be a scam. You can find general advice on spotting scams and accessing support on the University website.
