dcu starter pack

coreydcu

i still havent got mine but i was wondering what is in it

polkabunny

We won't be getting them until next week afaik, but I would expect there to be the registration information and probably something about orientation, at least!

niamhzie

inside is your dcu username and password- you'll need them to register online first, and then for the next X years for your dcumail, moodle etc, it takes a while to remember the password, so don't lose that page!! :pac:
there's also a mini-timetable of the orientation events: when you'll get your student card, when you'll meet your course chair/tutors etc... if you're doing business or ALIS, details on the "BEST" events, and when the evening stuff happens, like the orientation ball

coreydcu

thanks god i hope i get something on reg today cause it starts on wednesday

DCUlad

Ya'll get another pack from the SU during Orientation Week.

Contains, campus map (no one ever uses) samples of Lynx and Nivea for men rubbish, Pot Noodle, a few Mojo condoms (not to be reccomended) and other rubbish to throw out you window in Larkfield at "young wons"

Oh, some of the timetables are a little annoying

My course CA, Communications and Journalism I think.... You go in one day for all the usual talk, ntros, tours, blah blah blah.... then you have to go in another day just to get your student card... :rolleyes: I mean....

Slightly annoying for us commuters

The journalism timetable isn't too bad for a commuter. I think there is only one day where I will have to wait around for a bit.

How do people know their timetables already? When I look up the timetable for my course on the DCU website, it only has the one from 2010/2011.

Fill in the form here with your course code and year.

Ignore that it says they are for 2010. The timetables have been updated that page hasn't been yet.

Gunslinger92

Turns out I did get mine today! But for some obscene reason, the postman decided to put it in my dad's car.... He only gave it to me there

smeal

Anyone know during registration tomorrow do we have to pay anything??

If there's more than one lecture on the same time on the same day it means you have one lecture for a certain number of weeks and then you'll go to the other lecture. It's usually you'll go to lecture A from week 1-6 and then lecture B from week 7-12.

I'm sure it will all become clear during Orientation Week, if not before then.

You're split into groups I'd say?

Also, got my pack, WOO!
The HEA survey isn't working though, haha. Click Proceed, asked if you completed the survey, click No, told to "please remember to complete the survey"

Same happened to me. When I clicked yes, it said "Thanks for completing the survey". The guide on how to register online says it's a short survey, but I didn't think it was that short! :pac:
