UP data box and paper mail delivered to the university
On Monday, December 29, 2025, paper mail will be received and the university's data box will also be checked. This is necessary in view of the deadlines for the delivery of documents and the existence of the so-called fiction of delivery. In the case of highly urgent and pressing matters that cannot be delayed (typically where the response deadline is 7 days or less), the UP Rector's Office Records Management Office will attempt to contact the addressees on the morning of December 29, 2025, with information about the existence of such a shipment/message and the need for its urgent resolution. It is expected that such cases will be kept to an absolute minimum, but they may occur, particularly in the areas of human resources, legal, and economic affairs.
The last collection of the data box and receipt of mail at the central level before the above-mentioned date will take place on Friday, December 19, 2025, followed by the collection of the data box and receipt of mail on Monday, January 5, 2026, subject to unforeseeable events.
