Okay, so has anyone else got nothing from DCU accept accomodation info? The other thing is, I cant actually understand the orientation timetable. I am doing Computer Applications, does that mean I don't have to get out of bed until wednesday http://www.dcu.ie/timetables/orientation_six.shtml

carlowboy

Yes indeed it does. Basically your orientation starts on Wednesday.
The numbers beside the times indicate whats scheduled at that time corresponding to this page.
For example number 5 is card collection in the library and that's happenin for you on friday morning. (At 9 if your surname begins with A-G etc)

DCU PokerSoc

Hey Hey people!

Did not know there was a DCU forum on Boards!

First of all I would just like to throw this is there! Everyone JOIN DCU POKERSOC!!!! Only Society in DCU were you can make money from it!!!!


If you lads are doing Computer Apps, the code is probable CA therefore you in CA1 if you a first year. So this is what your timetable is looking like for your first year in college

As of last year you cant get into the Bar without being a member (unless you know the bar staff.....cough cough).

Most of these 8-late things are in the Bar and to be a member you must be over 18, so more than likely they are.

One joke wonder eh, thought you'd be more creative than that

Have the SU posted the schedule for the activities during Orientation week up on the web yet?

yeah me too 5 hours away but after few weeks you will speak differently !

Wizoom

Please God, don't let me be doing whatever module doesn't finish until 4 o'clock on Friday... Or all the early stuff. Or all the stuff that doesn't finish until 6 :P

Seriously though, our CA timetable doesn't look nice...

Also, am I the only one who hasn't heard anything at all from DCU?

gizmo

Off the top of my head the Physics lab was once a month from something like 2 until 5, not that big a deal really. It'll do you no harm staying up in Dublin for a weekend once in awhile.

LegacyUser

can anyone tell me what is on friday and also how many hours Roughly i would be doing if i choose Politics And Accounting(def doing accounting got b2 in HL Accounting)

LegacyUser

carlowboy

Here's mine. What would it be like compared to other timetables? Doesn't look as bad as CA.

http://www.dcu.ie/timetables/feed.php3?prog=FM&per=1&week1=1&week2=12&hour=1-20&template=student

Mr.Plough

the timetable isn't the exact schedule, that changes every year. But the number of hours stays around the same

[DM] Frink

Don't listen to Mr Plough he hasn't a clue, he never really went to DCU!!



AHHHH they took down the timetables! They must be up to something!

LegacyUser

no there still up!! what u talkin about DM FINK???

[DM] Frink

This!

http://www.dcu.ie/timetables/search.shtml

[DM] Frink

And I know you can do it manually, but thats only if you have a link like this

http://www.dcu.ie/timetables/feed.php3?prog=CAM&per=4&week1=1&week2=12&hour=1-20&template=student

Which is my timetable.

If anyone wants to check there timetable do this

http /www.dcu.ie/timetables/feed.php3?prog=CAM&per=4&week1=1&week2=12&hour=1-20&template=student

Where the CAM is in bold put in what your doing in college, then the 4 is the year, replace it with your year.

Should work!

The timetables go down regularly due to maintenance and a variety of other reasons. If its ever not working just check back later. I'd also recommend you save a copy locally in case it's down and you need it immediately.

just to let everyone know, first year orientation and registration packs are being sent out on monday morning. there really isn't anything very interesting in them, just the orientation schedule, which is currently available on the web anyway, and a letter about registration (happening from next wednesday til friday fortnight).

Limerick Dude

Off topic spam and flames once again deleted. adamski8, one thread is enough please, kindly read the charter and refrain from those kinds of posts in the future please.

That's last year's timetable - didn't you get the letter about the change to CA?

Next year's timetable won't be up until about July, even August and there will still be a bit of tinkering about with it even after semester starts...

Tis always the way with these mad big timetables...

Amz

Well this thread is from last year.

A change? What was in the letter?

Attol

That CA(DC121) is now CASE from first year and CAIS is now called Enterprise Computing(DC120) so use the change of mind form if you want to do that.

What if you are in 1st year atm and may be repeating? Is there new stuff in these courses?
