A warm County welcome to our new and returning students
On-campus students
The new academic year is fast approaching. Our main Arrivals Day for County is Sunday 29th September from 9am onwards. A team of Welcome Reps (wearing dark blue t-shirts) will be available when you arrive to assist you in finding your key collection point and your accommodation and answer any questions you might have. When you arrive on campus, you will be directed to your key collection point. Please note that you may have to queue for a short while to collect your keys. If you do, please bear with us - we have hundreds of students moving in on the same day but we aim to make the experience as enjoyable and exciting as possible!
Off-campus and commuter students
If you're joining us this October as a first year undergraduate student and are set to commute to University rather than live on campus, then keep an eye out for information about our Commuter Student Welcome event in September. It will include a campus tour, introduction to your college and a chance to meet other new students.
We understand that starting university as a commuter student can be daunting. This welcome event is intended to provide an overview and an opportunity to familiarise yourself with your college, explore campus before Welcome Week, and meet other students in the same position who you can share your university journey with. Students from all eight of the undergraduate colleges are invited to attend.
County Welcome Talk and Dinner – Sunday 29th September
This is the day when all students living on campus will be arriving. We would love for you to attend our ‘Welcome Talk’ in the Great Hall at 4.30pm. Here you will be introduced to college staff and student teams and be given some key information about Welcome Week and your time in the College. This short talk will then be followed by a free Lasagne Dinner.
We hope you enjoy your time in The County College. If you have any queries or concerns throughout your time at University, please feel free to contact county@lancaster.ac.uk and a member of College staff will be happy to help.
