The University of the District of Columbia’s academic and administrative offices will conduct business remotely on Tuesday, January 27 and Wednesday, January 28. All on-campus activities, including athletic-related activities, 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).

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.
Blackboard is the University of the District of Columbia’s Learning Management System (LMS). It is available for faculty, students, and staff. For academic purposes, it is primarily used to facilitate instruction, manage courses (traditional, online, and hybrid), administer assessments, collaborate with students or colleagues using Digital Tools and applications, facilitate organizations, and manage assignments.
In Fall 2021, the university fully converted to the Blackboard Ultra learning management system (LMS). Blackboard Ultra allows UDC educators to facilitate instruction, manage courses (traditional, online, and hybrid), administer assessments, collaborate with students or colleagues using digital tools, media and applications, coordinate organizations, and manage assignments more seamlessly. It is a rich and powerful tool that we are committed to using at UDC.
Videos and guides related to using Blackboard at UDC can be found below or through the links on the navigation bar on the left.
