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.

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.

  • Provide personalized "high touch" assistance, information and resources about urban living and housing
  • Promote student independence and community interdependence
  • Serve as liaisons between students, faculty, staff and community agencies
  • Maintain an apartment database with real-time rental information
  • Organize activities and encourage off-campus students to get involved in leadership opportunities on campus and in their communities
  • Strengthen community relations by educating students on being "good neighbors"
  • Foster community engagement by encouraging participation in residential activities
  • Inform students of university policies and local ordinances

To ensure that you and every student at UDC receive the help you need with housing, we are happy to offer off-campus housing services. It is our goal to help you and your peers acclimate to our campus, the larger Van Ness community and the D.C. metropolitan area.
