What it does
Everything for the week ahead.
Built by a DCU student for DCU students. Open it, and you can see where you need to be.
Deadlines your class confirms
Add a deadline and classmates vouch for it, so you know the date is right.
Cancelled? You’ll know.
When a lecture is off, someone in your class reports it and it shows on your timetable.
Light and dark
Follows your device, and stays easy to read on the walk to a lecture.
Just your classes
Pick your programme, your groups and your labs, and see only what’s yours.
Is there an app for the DCU timetable?
Yes. DCU Live is a free app that shows your own Dublin City University timetable, with your programme, groups and labs, on your phone, your computer or your Mac. It runs in your browser at app.dculive.ie, so there is nothing to install.
Is DCU Live free?
Yes. It is free for anyone with a DCU email address, either @mail.dcu.ie or @dcu.ie. You sign in with that email.
How do I find out if a DCU class is cancelled?
When a lecture is cancelled, a classmate reports it in DCU Live and it shows as cancelled on the timetable of everyone in that class.
Where do the deadlines come from?
Students add assignment deadlines for their modules and classmates confirm them, so each deadline shows how many people have vouched for the date. Anything wrong or offensive can be reported.
Is there a DCU timetable app for iPhone or Android?
Yes. Open app.dculive.ie and add it to your Home Screen: in Safari use Share, then Add to Home Screen; in Chrome use the menu, then Add to Home screen or Install app. It opens like any other app and keeps you signed in.
Is there a DCU timetable app for Mac?
Yes. The free Mac app shows your week and your deadlines in a window of their own, with class alerts as Mac notifications. It needs macOS 14 or later.
Is DCU Live an official DCU app?
No. It is a student project with some support from DCU, but it is not an official DCU app and is not recognised or endorsed by Dublin City University.
