Emergency Alert
UDC Operating Remotely on Friday, Jan. 30

The University of the District of Columbia’s academic and administrative offices will conduct business remotely on Friday, Jan. 30. All on-campus activities, including athletic-related activities, are cancelled.

Campuses will reopen on Monday, Feb. 2.

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.

Consultation Request Form

For learning technology tools and on-demand faculty resources, please visit CAL’s website.

Students: Due to inclement weather, the university will be closed to face-to-face operations. 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.

Breaking Barriers: UDC Community College at Research Week

research week logoResearch is thriving across every part of the University of the District of Columbia (UDC), including at UDC Community College (UDC-CC), where students are demonstrating that innovation knows no bounds. As part of Research Week 2025, UDC-CC is showcasing a wide range of projects spanning from health care advancements to criminal justice reform and artificial intelligence (AI), and above all, the power of research to drive meaningful change. 

“At UDC-CC, we are proving that great research can come from any background and is happening at every degree level,” says Assistant Professor of Natural Sciences Michael Ha. “Our students are tackling real-world challenges, from using AI to improve radiotherapy for cancer patients to analyzing public health disparities through D.C.’s mortality data. Others are exploring the dangers of plea bargains in the criminal justice system or the role of social media algorithms in shaping public opinion. This work isn’t just about academics—it’s about creating solutions that matter.
