Buildings 32 and 42 are expected to remain closed through Nov. 10. This date is our current estimate and is subject to change pending ongoing evaluations and the safe restoration of the affected electrical systems.
The continued closure of Buildings 32 and 42 will affect School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) operations as well as the operations of the Art, Digital Media and Chemistry programs. This includes in-person instruction and certain campus activities housed within those facilities. Emergency Remote Instruction (ERI) will remain in effect for impacted courses.
Visit the Campus Alerts page for more information.

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.
