In consideration of economic efficiency and work-life balance, a work-from-home arrangement is implemented on March 31, 2025 (Monday) in view of the Eid'l Fit holiday on April 1, 2025 (Tuesday).

This arrangement allows faculty and staff to continue fulfilling their duties remotely while providing an opportunity to spend time with family and manage personal responsibilities effectively. It also minimizes operational costs while ensuring institutional productivity. Departments must ensure that essential tasks remain on track during this period.

Meanwhile, Job Order personnel are required to report on-site to facilitate sanitation, disinfection, and fumigation of classrooms and common areas.
Supervising offices must oversee and coordinate these activities accordingly.

It has come to the attention of the RSU administration that a Facebook post is circulating, claiming that all graduating students from all learning levels will soon receive cash assistance from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). The post further urges students to register for a payout scheduled for April 15, 2025.

The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) has not announced any cash assistance program as described in the aforementioned Facebook post.
