Extension of Temporary Closure of TAR UC from 15 April - 28 April 2020

Following from Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s 10 April 2020 announcement on the second extension of movement control order to contain the Covid-19 outbreak, Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (‘TAR UC’) will be temporarily closed from 15 April - 28 April 2020 at all of its campuses in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Perak, Johor, Pahang and Sabah.

However, prospective students and parents who have specific enquiries on application and intakes can still reach us via email or mobile and the list of contact details is as per attached herewith. Alternatively, the contact details are also uploaded on TAR UC official website at www.tarc.edu.my. Prospective students are also advised to send in applications online at www.tarc.edu.my.

Due to current uncertainties associated with the Covid-19 pandemic and in the best interests of Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (‘TAR UC’) students and staff, we have also rescheduled the commencement dates of the May 2020 Intakes. The following table shows the original commencement dates and the new commencement dates:

As part of precautionary measures to safeguard the well-being of new students, we have decided to conduct the Orientation online (‘e-Orientation’) and deliver the courses offered in the May/June 2020 Semester via e-learning platforms until such time when the campus is open and we are allowed to conduct face-to-face delivery. We strongly believe that the e-Orientation and online teaching-learningassessment is the most practical option given the current situation.

For prospective and newly-registered students whose families are facing financial difficulty during this period of time, help is at hand as TAR UC is offering a new Covid-19 Instalment Plan to assist them. TAR UC Covid-19 Instalment Plan is specifically offered to new TAR UC students for the May/June 2020 Semester to bring financial relief by providing greater flexibility for the first semester fee instalment plan. This plan is available to full-time new Malaysian students who have been given offers of admission into Foundation, A Level, Diploma and Bachelor Degree programmes.
