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.

Student Handbook

Download the student handbook

student handbookThe Office of the Chief Student Development and Success Officer has prepared this publication of the 2022-2023 Student Handbook: A University Information Guide for the purpose of acquainting the student with a wide array of general information to support his or her matriculation at the University of the District of Columbia.

Accordingly, the standard term “student” is defined to include all persons who officially: (1) register and enroll on a full-time or part-time basis and (2) maintain current enrollment status or (3) who may attend any other postsecondary educational institution while matriculating at the University.

This standard term is generic and applicable for all special, non-credit, certificate, diploma, undergraduate, graduate and law school students. Persons who are not officially enrolled for a particular term (i.e., summer), but who have a continuing relationship with the University are also considered “students.”

Information for undergraduate and graduate students is collected conveniently in special sections.

General information to support the matriculation of students enrolled in the David A. Clarke School of Law are referenced in the David A. Clarke School of Law Student Handbook: A Guide to Academic Regulations and Requirements.

The standards of the student code of conduct, either academic or non-academic, in this publication apply to all groups of students as described above. The provisions of the student handbook are not contractual covenants between the University and any member of the University community, as defined in the handbook. The student handbook creates no contractual rights obligations between the University and any member of the University community.

The University reserves the right to amend the student handbook at any time. It is and remains the responsibility of members of the University community to review not only the student handbook but also the University’s website, https://www.udc.edu, for any amendments. If any provision of the handbook is later determined to be invalid, the resulting invalidity of that provision shall not affect the enforceability of the remaining provisions of the handbook.
