Timetable Information

Attached is a quick guide outlining the steps to search for your programme and save it into a personal timetable.

Students on BECE, BEd and PMEP do not need to follow these steps as they will be automatically presented with a timetable when they log into mytimetable.dcu.ie .

Important: If you have manually saved a personalised timetable on mytimetable.dcu.ie, please note that it does not automatically update when new activities are added or existing ones are removed.

To ensure your timetable reflects the latest schedule:

• Repeat the steps to search for your programme and save your timetable periodically.
• This is especially important during the first few weeks of term, or if you receive updates about changes to your modules or group allocations.
• If your timetable looks incomplete or includes unexpected activities, try re-saving it using the step-by-step guide.

Location naming guide

A location code is made up of the Campus code, followed by the building, followed by the floor, followed by the room number e.g. GLA.QG13

Campus Codes are: GLA = Glasnevin Campus, SPD = St Patricks Campus, AHC = All Hallows Campus

The first letter on the location indicates the Building/Block listed on the campus Map.  The next digit indicates the Floor, G is for Ground, 1 is for 1st etc.  The remaining digits are the room number of that floor.

GLA.QG13, is room 13 on the ground floor of the Business School on the Glasnevin Campus.
