University Policies
The ¶¶Òô³Ô¹Ï operates within a framework of regulations, policies, and procedures to ensure it meets the statutory requirements for UK universities.
Other documents also form important elements of our Governance regime and relate to many and varied aspects of University business, including teaching and learning, employment, finance, and student services.
An A-Z list of our policies can also be accessed in the University Policies A-Z page.
You will notice that next to each policy is a link shortener. We encourage you to use the link shortener so that you are always using the most up to date version of the policy.
Got a question about a policy or can't find the policy you're looking for? Try asking our AI bot Newton:
Newton is currently only available to staff but will be rolled out to students soon.
Some documents may not be suitable for users of assistive technology. If you need a version of a document in a more accessible format, please email policies@lincoln.ac.uk

We are currently reviewing our suite of policy documents in order to ensure due alignment with Office for Students as part of our commitment to securing free speech within law. This work will include all policy documents relating to (list is not exhaustive):
- admissions, appointments, reappointments and promotions
- disciplinary matters
- employment contracts (that may include conditions on speech)
- equality or equity, diversity and inclusion, including the PSED
- fitness to practise policies and procedures
- harassment and bullying policies
- IT, including acceptable use policies and surveillance of social media use
- Prevent duty
- principles of curricular design
- research ethics
- speaker events
- staff and student codes of conduct
In the meantime, or in cases of uncertainty, the definitive and up-to-date statement of the institution’s approach to freedom of speech is set out in our Code of Practice on Academic Freedom and Freedom of Speech and guidance can be sought from the Legal and Compliance Services team.
