Extension of Temporary Closure of TAR UC from 29 April - 12 May 2020

Following from Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s 23 April 2020 announcement on the third extension of movement control order to contain the Covid-19 outbreak, Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (‘TAR UC’) will be temporarily closed from 29 April - 12 May 2020 at all of its campuses in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Perak, Johor, Pahang and Sabah.

In view of the MCO extension, TAR UC has rescheduled the commencement dates of the May 2020 intakes. Below are the new commencement dates of the May 2020 intakes:

Application for the May 2020 intakes is still open and prospective students are advised to submit their applications online at www.tarc.edu.my. However, prospective students and parents who have specific enquiries on application and intakes can still reach us via email or mobile phone. The list of contact details is as per attached herewith. Alternatively, the contact details can also be found on the TAR UC official website at www.tarc.edu.my. Prospective students are also advised to send in applications online at www.tarc.edu.my.

We will also conduct the Orientation for the May/June 2020 Semester online (‘eOrientation’) 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 commence face-to-face delivery. Given the current situation, TAR UC believes that the e-Orientation and online teaching-learning-assessment is the most practical option for students.

For new students whose families are facing financial difficulties during this period, TAR UC is offering a new Covid-19 Instalment Plan to assist them. TAR UC Covid19 Instalment Plan is specifically offered to newly registered TAR UC students for the May/June 2020 Semester to bring financial relief by providing greater flexibility for the first semester fee instalment plan.
