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.

Conduct Board

The Conduct Board is comprised of students, faculty, and professional staff members at Bowie State University who have the opportunity to serve on the Conduct Hearing Board. The Board hears cases of misconduct in which the accused student or student organization has contested the charges. The Board decides whether or not the student/organization is responsible for a violation of the policies stated in the University’s Student Conduct Code based on the information presented at the hearing. Should the board find the student/organization responsible for violating the code, the board will then recommend the appropriate sanctions to the Hearing Chair.
