Students are invited to nominate themselves for positions within College JCRs and PG Board, as well as positions of Student Trustee and International Students’ Officer. In this article, we want to explain the nomination process: how to do it, what to consider, and what happens next. 

We know that nominating yourself in an election may be something you have never done before or come across again in your life after university. Hopefully, this will be a great first experience! 

Being Trans+ at University comes with an array of struggles, one of them being feeling affirmed in your gender identity. This can come at a high cost to students; getting clothing, compression wear, affirming wear, make-up, travel costs to appointments, etc.

Our LUSU Education Officer, Niamh, and the University’s Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Education are working together to look at AI concerns over the software.

We are excited to announce upcoming election for your College JCRs, PG Board, the International Students’ Officer, and two Student Trustee positions.  

You turned up in force to make our Freshers Fairs epic...

Part One was our Active Fair – focussing on sports and more active societies, with a whopping 6,532 students in attendance.  

 Part Two was for Societies, Culture & Special Interest, with 4,219 of you lovely lot stopping by for a visit!  

LUSU Freshers’ Fair 2026 is officially open! Join us on Wednesday and Thursday of Freshers’ Week and discover all that Lancaster has to offer!

Protect your money and personal details by only accessing official events and accounts provided by your University and Students’ Union.

We want all Lancaster University students to be safe – and for new students that starts even before you arrive.

Over the summer, you may come across ‘Freshers’ social profiles, group chats and link trees that promise they’re ‘100% official’ and that their events are nearly sold out – but they may not be what they seem.

Don’t risk sharing personal details with unofficial accounts or giving away your money for events that may not take place. Instead, follow the simple tips below and make sure that in the run up to Welcome Week, you connect to official University and Students’ Union (LUSU) accounts.

The results from the National Student Survey are in and once again LUSU has recorded a great result for student satisfaction.
