Help with your Timetable
Frequently Asked Questions
Timetables are typically only made available to students one week before the start of term.
Only students who are registered on the BECE, BED and PMEP programmes will have an individualised timetable presented to them. All other students will need to search for their timetable.
Please view the Help Viewing Your Timetable video on how to search for your timetable and save it.
DCU does not support calendar subscriptions to MyTimetable (e.g., via Apple or Google Calendar). While the option to subscribe may have appeared in the interface at one point, it was never an officially supported feature. We have since removed it because we cannot guarantee that subscribed calendars will reflect the most up-to-date timetable information, which could lead to students relying on outdated or incorrect details.
Some students who subscribed before the option was removed may still see their timetable in their personal calendar apps. However, this data is not actively maintained or updated, and we strongly advise against relying on it for accurate scheduling.
For the most reliable and current timetable information, students should refer directly to MyTimetable via the web interface.

Please check your programme timetable and check the weeks in which the tutorials or practicals are due to take place. If they do not start until Week 2 or 3 of semester, you will be contacted closer to the time and told which group/tutorial/lab you should attend. If you haven't been informed several days before the lab/tutorial/practical is due to start raise a ticket with the question "My labs and tutorials are due to start in a few days and I have not been notified of lab / practical or tutorial groupings".

Scheduling hours in DCU for undergraduate students are from 9am-6pm, Monday to Thursday, and from 9am-5pm on Fridays. Classes can be scheduled any time during these periods. If you have a particular issue with a time on your Timetable you should discuss this with the module coordinator concerned.

Unfortunately, students are not permitted to change tutorial or lecture groups.
Your timetable will continue to change up until the start of semester. For that reason, you must check your timetable regularly up until the evening before semester begins, to make sure that you are looking at the most up-to-date information. If your timetable changes during the first two weeks of either semester, you and the lecturer concerned will be emailed by the Faculty Timetabler directly, at your DCU student email address. No changes are allowed after the end of Week 2 of either semester.
This means that the class takes place in Weeks 2, 4 and 6 of the DCU 2025/26 academic calendar. In the 2025/26 academic year, Week 1 is the week beginning Monday September 8th, 2025. In Publish, you can click on the "Week" drop-down menu and it will show you the corresponding date for the start of that week.
