Welcome to the Academic Advising and Support Center
At the University of the District of Columbia, we understand the challenges that come with pursuing a degree. But with UDC on your side, you won't have to face those challenges alone. Whether you're a first-time college student or returning for a new semester, we encourage you to make the most of our on-campus academic advising center.
The Academic Advising and Support Center is an all-inclusive hub for students of any background, identity or academic placement to get help. It's our mission to provide you and your peers with a positive environment to best support you during your time at UDC and beyond. We're here for you every step of the way!
Keys to Success
As you explore your talents, new interests and overall academic experience here at UDC, the center can help set you on the right track and support your educational journey one step at a time. But beyond our services, we would like to offer you three primary academic keys to success:
- Become active in your education. We encourage you to become involved, whether it's by joining a student organization, taking on a leadership role, working closely with faculty both in and out of the classroom, participating in athletics, finding an internship, studying abroad or working on campus. Any of these activities can help to boost your intellectual and personal growth, preparing you for a successful future.
- Be a valuable and productive member of the UDC community. As a student at UDC, you will balance academic responsibilities with social, familial and personal activities. While there is a lot to juggle, make sure to commit enough time each day to enrich yourself and recharge your body and mind to be the best version of yourself that you can be.
- Maximize your use of resources and services. At UDC, there is no shortage of help, resources or services at your disposal, and we want you to make the most of them. So please seek out assistance in meeting your goals and responsibilities with help from our faculty and staff, in addition to your friends and family. Don't be afraid to lean on others!
