APPLICATION PROCESS

Applying to live at Lincoln College is a simple process

1. Complete the application form on this page. ​

You will need to upload a recent photograph of yourself. A school photo or profile picture with your head and shoulders is ideal.

2. Email a written character reference and an academic reference.

As part of your application, we would also like a written reference and an academic reference from someone who knows you well and can comment on how you will thrive at university and in College. A schoolteacher or family friend is ideal. As part of the application process, we kindly request a written character reference and an academic reference from individuals who know you well and can speak to your potential for success at university and within our College community. Ideally, these references would come from a schoolteacher for academics and the character reference from a trusted family friend or employer. Please ensure that the reference is presented on official letterhead and includes contact details for verification purposes. References should be submitted in PDF or Word format. Once you have received the references from your referees, please email them to admin@lincoln.edu.au at your earliest convenience, preferably before your scheduled interview, which is the next stage of the application process.

3. Interview​

The next step in the application process is to arrange an interview with our Head of College, Carolyn Mee. We offer two options for this interview: in person at our Adelaide campus (preferred) or over the phone at your convenience.

Once your application has been submitted, the College will contact you to arrange a suitable time for your interview. 

4. Application Outcome ​

After your interview, you will be notified by email if you have been successful and made an offer of a place at Lincoln College. If you are waiting on an ATAR and university offer, the offer of a place at Lincoln College is provisional and dependent on you receiving and accepting a university offer. Your place at Lincoln College is not secured until you have returned your completed contract and paid your upfront fees. You will learn more information about this through the application process.

The College fills quickly ahead of each academic year, so we encourage you to apply early.
