Have you engaged in First Year Check-in at DCU? 

Over 250 of our first year students have already downloaded the app - getting involved is easy! Simply download AthenaCX and get started

Install - IOE | Install - Android

Once downloaded, you can participate in short weekly app-based surveys focusing on how you are adjusting to university life around three key areas of self-confidence, belongingness and engagement. You can also monitor your weekly scores through the app and see how you are progressing from week to week. Your individual scores are confidential, but DCU will use the collective weekly data to provide you with suggestions around ways to improve your level of self-confidence, belongingness and engagement for a more enhanced first-year experience.

Further information and weekly updates are available through your My DCU portal.
