Emergency Alert
UDC Operating Remotely Through Wednesday, Jan. 28

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).  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.

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.

Residence Life Programming and Student Support

Our Housing and Residence Life team, including the Resident Assistants (RAs), Housing Coordinator, Housing Specialist, and the Director, works collaboratively to foster a vibrant, inclusive residential community. Together, we design and deliver programming focused on wellness, academic support, cultural celebration, civic engagement and community connection.

Beyond residential programming, our staff actively manage relationships with external housing providers to ensure that students have access to safe, affordable housing options. We assist with securing alternatives to housing when university-housing is at capacity and offer documentation support such as proof of residency and rental history upon request.

Our mission is not only to support students during their academic journey, but also to prepare them for life beyond graduation. We aim to equip each Firebird with practical life skills and the confidence to navigate independent living. While our housing program may not mirror traditional models, it is uniquely designed to evolve and respond to the diverse needs of our student population. The possibilities to shape meaningful living spaces for every Firebird are limitless—even within the program’s constraints.

Expectations and Policies

All residents are expected to uphold the University's Student Code of Conduct and adhere to Housing and Residence Life policies as outlined in the Housing License Agreement. Policies address community standards, health and safety guidelines, conflict resolution and guest registration.
