• Some units may need to send a few people to work onsite (skeletal staffing). Your supervisor will let you know if this applies to your unit.
• If you need to use any workspace or room on campus, your unit should coordinate in advance with AFM or the Reservations Office.
• The University Library (3rd level) will be partially open to receive hard copies of theses and capstone projects from graduating students. The Law Library (4th level) will stay open for SLG and law students.

Library hours:
Monday to Friday: 8:30 am – 5:30 pm

• The Registrar’s Office and the Admissions Office will maintain skeletal staffing onsite to assist students and parents submitting school documents.
• While some areas may be closed off, the campus must remain open and welcoming. Gates will stay open, but internal closures (e.g., ACB) may proceed as needed.

We thank everyone for your cooperation, flexibility, and continued commitment to service excellence.

UA&P employees spread Easter joy at Brgy. Pineda

BIGGKAS+, in collaboration with Human Resource Management and Office of Alumni Affairs, and the volunteer employees came together on April 28, 2025, for the Easter Care Drive, an outreach initiative dedicated to show care to more than 20 bedridden and senior citizens with disabilities from UA&P's partner community, Barangay Pineda, Pasig City. 

The drive, organized to celebrate the Jubilee of People with Disabilities, was an effort to make Easter more meaningful for those often underserved. Seventeen volunteers from various departments in UA&P participated in the preparation and distribution of the packages, delivering not just items but also messages of hope and solidarity. The team also organized a Self Care talk for the guardians/caregivers. The speaker for the session was Mr. Sed Ramiro of the Center for Student Affairs.

The success of the Easter Care Drive is a reminder of what can be achieved when a community works together with compassion and purpose.
