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.

NURS 300 – RN to BSN Transition

The initial course offered in the Registered Nurse to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN to BSN) curriculum was chosen to initiate the  Quality Matters™ Higher Education Rubric (7th edition) course certification process. The Center for the Advancement of Learning (CAL) experts were invaluable in guiding me through the comprehensive approval process. NURS 300 – RN to BSN Transition required refocusing on alignment for each course component from the Programmatic Learning Outcomes to Course Outcomes, and finally the Module objectives. This new focus on alignment enhanced and strengthened my activities and assessments. The QM team included a seasoned higher education administrator and nurse educator who provided very helpful suggestions to enhance the nursing course discussions, reflections, and leveling of assignments. The peer review decision provided extensive annotations to support quality improvement. I am ready to begin preparing another of our ten courses for QM certification!
