University of the District of Columbia Community College — Van Ness Campus

At 4200 Connecticut Avenue NW, Van Ness is the University of the District of Columbia’s flagship campus, with a specific role in the Community College network. UDC’s location directory identifies it as the home of the community-college Mortuary Science program. That makes this a distinct destination from Lamond-Riggs: the same university brand, but a different neighborhood and academic assignment.

For adults who want to strengthen English before applying or returning to study, UDC’s Continuing and Professional Education office lists in-person ESL classes at Van Ness. Its ESL 100 course is designed for learners with low-beginning oral and literacy skills and works on listening, speaking, reading, writing, comprehension and digital literacy. This is continuing education rather than a guaranteed bridge into a credit program. Students planning a degree should ask admissions how English placement, Accuplacer results and program prerequisites fit together, and whether a specific class is currently accepting registration.

The location also provides a base for university-wide admissions and student-service questions, though specific services and office hours can move by term. The Community College program directory shows which degree is taught at which site; do not assume that a general UDC course or service is part of the associate-degree campus. Before travelling, check the CPE schedule for the ESL classroom and the UDC admissions page for current appointment arrangements. The official route button below uses the Van Ness street address so the destination is clear in a large urban campus network.
