Emergency Alert
UDC Operating Remotely as of 12:30 p.m. Today, Monday, March 16

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). The Center for the Advancement of Learning (CAL) is available to support faculty with instructional continuity, including support for Blackboard, Zoom, Webex and other teaching and learning technologies.

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 - Yolandra Plummer

Profile Picture for Yolandra Plummer.

Yolandra Plummer, Ph.D.

Professor
School of Business and Public Administration (SBPA)

As I reflect on my experience with the Quality Matters official course review process, the revisions improved my course alignment and helped me to improve communication with students. The greatest enhancement for my course was ensuring that the assessments, learning activities and rubrics were clearly aligned with the module learning objectives. The Seventh edition of the Quality Matters rubric places greater emphasis on courses being warm and welcoming. This replaces the rubric’s previous emphasis on being “professional” to students. This was especially important to me as I have always attempted to include culturally inclusive instructions, materials, images and other resources designed to support the learning needs of diverse learners.

The course also guided me in modifying course materials to be more compliant with accessibility standards. I did not always agree with the Course Reviewers recommendations. Overall, it was a win-win for me, the School of Business and Public Administration (SBPA) and the University of the District of Columbia. This is the first Quality Matters certified course for SBPA.
