LU International Student Application Process
In your journey to becoming an official Blue Tiger we ordinarily would love to have you visit; however, in the midst of the current health pandemic we have determined that in-person exploration of the campus is less than ideal. As an alternative we have developed a virtual tour, to allow you to experience the campus. You'll get a glimpse of student facilities, the residential halls, important campus buildings and the library.

All students born after December 1956 who plan to attend classes on one of our campuses must submit proof of immunization compliance for measles, mumps, and rubella. Online students are exempt.
In addition to the immunization requirement, international students are required to have two screening tests for tuberculosis exposure once arriving to the country: A IGRA blood test and a chest X ray. These tests must be performed in the United States not more than six weeks before the start of classes. Tests performed outside of the United States cannot be accepted.
A copy of your immunization record (or your state's immunization compliance form) can be submitted directly to the Lincoln University Health Center.
Contact the Health Center at 573-681-5476 for more information
One of the most essential task you need to complete before starting your academic journey here at Lincoln is finding a place to live. You can find the Housing Application Procedures and General Move-In information in the Resident Hall Handbook.
The Lincoln University housing application is available online; for information on how to access the housing application please get in touch with the Lincoln University Office of Residential Life by calling 573-681-5478 or sending an email to housing@lincolnu.edu.
Contact your academic advisor for your academic program for information about the course registration process. It is a good idea to register for your classes before you arrive on campus to start the semester. Please get in contact with the Registrar's Office to find out who your advisor is and what steps you need to take by emailing them at registrar@lincolnu.edu
