In observance of the upcoming Holy Week, the University will shift to an online work arrangement from March 30 (Monday) to April 1 (Wednesday), 2026. Consequently, the campus will be closed to regular operations.
Please be guided by the following arrangements:
- Work Setup: Employees will transition to a work-from-home setup and are expected to remain reachable during standard working hours.
- Schedule: March 30 and 31 will follow regular working hours. As noted in the April holiday advisory, April 1 will observe a half-day schedule (work until 12:00 NN).
- Campus Access: On-campus activities are strictly restricted to those that have been pre-scheduled and explicitly approved.
This decision was made to facilitate safe travel to home provinces and to allow employees to prepare both practically and spiritually for the Paschal Triduum. May this period of remote work provide a peaceful transition into the solemn days ahead, allowing everyone a reflective start to their Holy Week journey.
