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.

Turning Potential Into Power

At the University of the District of Columbia, we strive to provide a supportive and welcoming learning environment for international students from around the world. With such a diverse student population, we like to think of UDC as an "international HBCU."

With backgrounds ranging from conventional to that of embassies and royalty, there is a place for all international students at UDC. During your time here, we will provide plenty of opportunities for you and your peers to coordinate and mingle with our student life {link} and student activities organizations to make campus events welcoming for students of all cultures!

UDC International Students

Are You an International Student?

To ensure that you qualify for international admission to UDC, you must meet the following criteria:

  • Seeking an associate or bachelor's degree from UDC.
  • Intend to study full-time (at least 12 credit hours per term/semester) the entire time you attend UDC.
  • Identify as a foreign national holding or intending to hold a non-immigrant visa/status in the U.S. (F-1, H-4, L-2, G-4, etc.), NOT a "pending" permanent resident in the U.S.

Note: If you identify as a resident of the United States (including foreign citizens with immigrant/resident visas, foreign citizens with G-4 visas, and undocumented immigrants), you are not considered an international student and must apply as a regular freshman or transfer student. If you do not qualify for international student status, please refer to the guidelines for first-time college students, transfer students, re-admit students, or graduate students.
