Per memo 211, s. 2025, all employees are hereby reminded to wear the prescribed office uniform and appropriate work attire while inside the campus, effective immediately. This is in accordance with University policies and Civil Service Commission (CSC) guidelines. Your cooperation in presenting a professional image for members of the TAU community is highly appreciated.
Please be guided by this weekly schedule for your attire: wear the new ASEAN/ Filipiniana-inspired uniform on Mondays and the old university-issued uniform on Tuesdays. Wednesdays are for smart casual (faculty) or department/ TAU shirts (non-teaching), followed by college/ department or TAU shirts on Thursdays. Fridays are for any appropriate office attire.
In a supportive move for the entire University community, the Office of the University President (OUP) has officially approved a one-day Mental Health Break on 30 October 2025. This initiative is a direct response to the Supreme Student Council's (SSC) request and reflects Tarlac Agricultural Universityโs (TAU) deep commitment to holistic student well-being, providing a crucial pause for rest and recuperation following the demands of the midterm examination period.
This break also serves a dual purpose by allowing students, faculty, and staff ample time to travel home safely ahead of the All Saintsโ Day and All Soulsโ Day holidays. By enabling the community to depart ahead of peak traffic, the University hopes to alleviate travel stress and ensure everyone can enjoy a more meaningful and extended period with their families.
The schedule of Studentsโ Academic Evaluation for the First Semester, AY 2025-2026, will run from 20 October to 7 November 2025. Graduating students, as well as regular 4th, 5th, and 6th year students, are scheduled from 20-24 October 2025. Meanwhile, regular 3rd and 2nd year students will have their turn on 27-31 October 2025, followed by regular 1st year and irregular students on 3-7 November 2025.
All students are strongly encouraged to visit their respective Records-in-Charge at the ARS Office during their assigned dates and vacant periods. Service hours are from Monday to Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (no noon break), except holidays. Kindly follow the schedule provided to ensure a smooth and orderly evaluation process.

The TAU community is urged to remain vigilant against increased health risks from recent rains. Protect yourself from waterborne diseases like Leptospirosis and mosquito-borne illnesses such as Dengue by avoiding floodwaters and eliminating stagnant water around your living and working spaces.
Stay informed about weather conditions and practice essential prevention by emptying, cleaning, and covering all water containers. If you experience any symptoms like fever or body aches, seek immediate medical consultation at the TAU Medical and Dental Clinic or the nearest hospital or health center.
