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.

CAL Faculty Support Resources


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.

Programs and Courses

The food safety systems program acts as a business incubator with efforts towards providing entrepreneurs and local small businesses access to fully equipped commercial kitchens at a reduced rate. We offer kitchen management training, which supports efforts to improve food processing technologies that advance food safety and improve the safety of individuals utilizing commercial kitchen equipment daily.

Kitchen Management Training

UDC food safety systems program seeks to reduce the number of accidents caused by inappropriate use of kitchen equipment by offering kitchen management training for potential users of UDC commercial kitchen facilities. The kitchen management course is designed to teach clients, vendors, food service entrepreneurs, hospitality/culinary art students, food truck operators and community base organizations how to properly manage a commercial kitchen and equipment.

This course is an exploratory and introductory course that leads to commercial kitchen operations. It covers three common competencies that a food service professional should possess:

  1. How to properly manage and maintain a commercial kitchen and its equipment
  2. Proper way of cleaning commercial kitchen equipment
  3. Practicing Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) procedures
