CMC Advisory: Voluntary wearing of face masks on campus

In line with the recently issued EO No. 07 and the DOLE guidelines, the wearing of face masks in both outdoor and indoor settings in our campus will now be voluntary.

However, consistent with the same EO, the wearing of face masks is still being encouraged for senior citizens, immunocompromised persons, pregnant women, unvaccinated and symptomatic individuals. In addition, it is also recommended when we are in crowded areas where physical distancing is not possible.

It will also be advisable to continue practicing other safety and health protocols such as frequent hand washing, ensuring adequate ventilation in work areas, and not reporting for work or classes when exhibiting symptoms.

Blended Learning Guidelines effective January 2023

1. Effective January 2023, considering the experience of the ongoing semester, the 50/50 onsite/online blend will remain as the minimum teaching modality. However, in our effort to transition to a truly blended learning environment next school year, some courses may have more onsite classes if deemed best for the course (subject to room availability). These courses will therefore not follow the odd/even scheme.  
2. Note that the “quasi-hybrid mode” (hyflex) is not mandatory to accommodate the few students who will be given exemptions from attending onsite sessions. The faculty may opt to give the said students other learning tasks as long as the content delivery and learning outcomes for the course are achieved.  
3. Heeding an expressed need by students, additional classrooms will be made available as soon as possible to students attending online sessions while on campus. The classrooms will be labeled accordingly and announced soon.
4. As with the classes, work may be fully onsite if the needs of the students and faculty demand it and the circumstances of the employees allow it.  
5. We wish to highlight the preference for on-campus academic consultations (one-on-one consultation of a student with a teacher) as a necessary extension of teaching. If online consultation is needed, the use of the uap.asia account of both the student and the teacher is essential to preserve the official nature of the consultation. Moreover, the session may be recorded should the student or the teacher prefer to do so.
