Memorandum No. ERR-04-077

To: Deans and Directors 

Subject: UPCAT 2004 on August 7 and 8, 2004
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPCAT 2005 will be administered on August 7 and 8, 2004 in U.P. Diliman.

As indicated in the Academic Calendar for AY 2004-05, August 7 and 8 are
 no-class days for the entire UP System. As much, August 7 (a Saturday)
 has not been counted in the reckoning of the number of class days for
 the semester. There is thus no need to make-up for August 7 since there
 should be no classes missed.

To accommodate the close 28,000 applicants estimated to take the UPCAT in
 Diliman, practically all academic buildings will be used as test
 centers. As in previous years we should anticipate a large volume of
 traffic not only within the campus but also along Katipunan and in the
 Philcoa area, especially from 6:00 to 8:00 a.m., 11:50 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
 and 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Please be informed that only authorized UPCAT personnel and the examinees
 will be allowed to enter the examination areas in the buildings used as
 test centers on August 6 and 7. The list of buildings that will be used
 as test centers is attached for your reference. Access to the other
 parts of the buildings by the officials and staff of the building will
 not be prohibited provided they can show a written authorization from
 the Dean of the unit.

I enjoin the cooperation of everyone to help in the safe and smooth
 administration of this very important University function.
