Update on Facilities Emergency as of Friday, Oct. 23

Following Tuesday morning's electrical incident originating in the mechanical room of Building 42, power disruptions impacted Buildings 32, 38, 39, 42, 43 and 47.

Power has since been restored to Buildings 38, 39, 43 and 47. Buildings 56 and 71 were not impacted by this incident. Additionally, Buildings 44, 46 east and 46 west were unaffected and remained fully operational throughout the event.

The university's electrical contractor continues to assess the damage and determine options for restoring and redistributing power to Buildings 32 and 42. As a result, Buildings 32 and 42 will remain closed through Monday, Nov. 2, while assessments are completed and necessary repairs or equipment replacements are identified and implemented.

Academic Operations

  • The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) will remain under Emergency Remote Instruction (ERI) while Buildings 32 and 42 are unavailable.
  • Classes for all non-SEAS students will resume normal operations.
  • Classes at the UDC David A. Clarke School of Law, Community College, Congress Heights campus and DCA Aviation Hangar will continue as scheduled.

Administrative Operations

  • Administrative and support functions at the Van Ness campus will resume normal business operations and maintain regular business hours.

Guidance for SEAS Faculty and Staff

  • SEAS staff should contact their immediate supervisors regarding remote work expectations.
  • SEAS faculty should consult their supervisors for ERI-related guidance.
  • The Center for the Advancement of Learning (CAL) remains available to support instructional continuity, including Blackboard, Zoom and other teaching and learning technologies.

Guidance for SEAS Students

  • Due to this facilities emergency, SEAS in-person operations will remain suspended through Monday, Nov. 2. Instruction will continue remotely through both synchronous and asynchronous formats.
  • Courses requiring laboratory, clinical, studio or other hands-on instruction may require makeup sessions. However, every effort will be made to maintain academic continuity through virtual learning whenever possible. Faculty conducting synchronous instruction should continue to meet during published class times to minimize disruptions to student schedules.

The safety and well-being of our students, faculty, staff and community remain our highest priority. We will continue to provide updates as additional information becomes available.

Please continue to monitor the university website and official social media channels for the latest information.

For safety concerns, contact OPSEM at 202-274-5050. For emergencies, call 911.

Thank you for your flexibility, cooperation and continued commitment to UDC and our students.

Pay Services

Compensation and Time Reporting at UDC

eTime

At UDC, all employees, except adjunct faculty, must report their own time within PeopleSoft. Become familiar with your time reporting category. The categories are as follows:

Positive Time Reporting

Hourly employees are positive time reporters.  In order to receive the proper pay, positive time reporters record the number of hours worked each day on their time sheet. At UDC the two pay groups that are positive time reporters are G1N and G6N.

Exception Time Reporting

Faculty and staff employees who are paid a salary are exception-time reporters. Exception-time reporters are paid a set amount each payday because the payroll system automatically applies the same schedule of hours worked each pay period.  When a salaried employee is absent from work, the absence is an exception to the regular schedule and must be reported on a timesheet and submitted to her/his supervisor for approval.  Exception time reporters only submit a timesheet when there is an exception to report. The two pay groups that are exception time reporters are G6E and G9E.

PeopleSoft

PeopleSoft provides a comprehensive Manager Self-Service and/or Employee Self-Service portal for UDC employees. Employees can review payroll and benefits information through this portal, enter and manage their time, request leave and update personal information. The system also allows employees to review their leave balances and access various employee resources, making it a convenient and essential tool for managing their employment-related tasks.

You can get full access to Manager Self-Service and/or Employee Self-Service from pshcm.dc.gov. This link is only available on a UDC network or through a VPN connection.

Access PeopleSoft from the UDC network or VPN

You can access Employee Self-Service from ess.dc.gov while on a UDC network or through a VPN connection, but only have limited access outside of a UDC network.

Time and Approval Deadlines

Time entry and approval schedules are available on myUDC (accessible only to UDC employees).
