About this app

5LA is the everyday app for university life in Oman — one place for your class schedule, exams, campus community, rewards, and getting to and from campus with fellow students.

WHO IT'S FOR?
5LA currently serves verified students across six universities: Sultan Qaboos University (SQU), the University of Technology and Applied Sciences (UTAS), German University of Technology (GUtech), Middle East College (MEC), Modern College of Business and Science (MCBS), and Muscat University.

YOUR DAY, ORGANIZED:
Timetable Hub — import your class schedule and get reminders, with your day laid out clearly
Exam Engine — students share exam schedule photos, automatically confirmed and turned into countdowns and reminders for the whole class

CAMPUS COMMUNITY:
Campus Boards — Lost & Found, free giveaways, club events, and daily polls for your university
Freshman Mode — a guided first month for new students, with a campus survival guide and optional senior mentorship
Campus Letters — send anonymous notes of appreciation to someone on campus, reviewed for kindness before they're shared
Section Match — quietly find others in your course who want a study group, with identities revealed only if both sides choose to
Careers Board — internships and part-time roles from employers looking specifically for students at your university

GETTING TO CAMPUS:
Ride matching between students heading the same way, home to campus and back
Women-only rides — female students can match exclusively with female drivers and riders
Guardian Share — send a parent or guardian a live link to your trip, showing the driver, route, and real-time location
PIN-based pickup verification for every ride
Live GPS trip tracking
Ratings, reporting, and blocking to keep the community safe
No cost between students, ever

REWARDS & COMPETITION:
Seasonal quests, streaks, and tiers that reward regular participation
Regulars & Crews — ride with your usual people, or form a crew with friends
Inter-University Rivalry — a friendly season-long competition between all six partner universities

5LA PLUS:
An optional subscription for extras like priority matching, no wait times, a letters archive, and more study group access — every safety feature stays free for everyone, always.

Bilingual throughout, in Arabic and English.

5LA is built by Boud Labs, a Muscat-based technology company.
