The University of the District of Columbia’s academic and administrative offices will move to remote operations as of 12:30 p.m. today, Monday, March 16. All on-campus activities, including athletics, are cancelled.

Staff: Contact your immediate supervisor with questions or for further instruction regarding remote work expectations.

Faculty: Reach out to your immediate supervisor and/or the dean for questions and further instruction regarding the transition to emergency remote instruction (ERI).

Students: Due to inclement weather, the university will be closed to in-person operations as of 12:30 p.m. today, Monday, March 16. Instruction will be moved to emergency remote, including synchronous and asynchronous methods. Certain laboratory, clinical and other hands-on classes for which in-person instruction is a requirement may necessitate a make-up lesson, but every effort will be made to pursue virtual learning to the extent possible. Where synchronous virtual instruction is intended, published class meeting times must be observed so that students’ schedules are not disrupted.

The safety and security of our students, faculty, staff and the broader community remain our top priority. We will continue to provide updates regarding the status of the university’s academic and administrative offices as conditions change.

Please continue to check our website and social media channels for the latest information.

If you have any safety concerns, contact OPSEM at 202-274-5050. For all immediate emergencies, call 911.

Thank you for your continued dedication to our students and to UDC’s mission.

Quality Matters Testimonial - Brandon Schweitzer

Assistant Professor of Accounting
UDC Community College (CC)

“Participating in the QM rubric workshop course has significantly impacted my approach to course design within the realm of accounting. The workshop provided invaluable insights into the Quality Matters (QM) rubric, fostering a deeper understanding of the essential elements contributing to a high-quality online learning experience.

One key aspect that I integrated into my course design is the emphasis on clear learning objectives. The QM rubric highlighted the importance of explicitly stating learning outcomes and aligning them with assessments and activities. This has proven instrumental in enhancing the clarity of my accounting courses, ensuring that students have a well-defined roadmap for their learning journey.

Additionally, the workshop underscored the significance of learner engagement and interaction. Integrating various interactive elements like discussion forums and collaborative assignments has created a more dynamic and participatory learning environment. This enhances student engagement and fosters a sense of community among learners.

Furthermore, the QM rubric’s emphasis on accessibility has prompted me to review and enhance the accessibility features of my course materials, making accounting concepts more inclusive for diverse learners. The QM rubric workshop has been a transformative experience, shaping my course design philosophy by instilling a commitment to clarity, engagement, and accessibility in accounting education.”
