For Students

Due to this facilities emergency, the university will suspend in-person operations beginning at 9:30 a.m. today, Tuesday, October 20, 2026. Instruction will continue remotely through synchronous and asynchronous methods. Courses requiring in-person laboratory, clinical, or hands-on instruction may require make-up sessions; however, every effort will be made to maintain instructional continuity through virtual learning. Faculty conducting synchronous instruction should adhere to published class meeting times to minimize disruption to student schedules.

The safety and well-being of our students, faculty, staff and community remain our highest priority. Additional updates regarding academic and administrative operations for the remainder of the week will be provided by close of business today.

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

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