Jan. 28-30 Virtual Operations, Campus Remains Closed

Bowie State University will continue with virtual operations for all classes and office operations through Friday, January 30, 2026. The campus will be closed to all non-essential personnel, and all campus activities are canceled. All buildings except residence halls and the dining hall will be closed. Essential personnel should report on time. This is due to the extended time required to clear the extensive snow and ice accumulation on campus. University crews are making every effort to resume campus operations, as a safe return to in-person learning and work remains our top priority. Only essential personnel and residential students are permitted access to the campus through Jan. 30. For more information, please visit BowieState.edu/weather.

  • The Middle States Commission on Higher Education examines institutions in the Mid-Atlantic region every eight years for compliance with seven standards of accreditation and required affiliations.
  • The self-study process for reaffirmation of accreditation allows the institution to tell the story of its strengths, accomplishments and strategies for improvements in areas related to each standard.
  • Without regional accreditation, BSU students would not be eligible to receive Federal Title IV financial aid.
  • Engagement of faculty and staff in the process is critical for success
    • August 16 – Link to draft Self-Study document provided via Community Announcement
