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.

Homecoming is a time to celebrate Bowie State University and connect with students, alumni and community members near and far. As we welcome everyone back for this year’s festivities, we’re committed to ensuring a safe, memorable and family-friendly experience on campus.

  • Anyone wishing to access campus on Homecoming Day – Saturday, November 1 – must register for campus access by no later than Friday, October 31. Please register as soon as possible due to limited campus capacity.
    • BSU students living on campus do not need to register for campus access.

  • If you purchase a Homecoming game football ticket, you do not need to register. Your football ticket will serve as your campus registration. Please purchase football tickets as soon as possible.

REGISTER OR BUY FOOTBALL TICKETS

Registration allows us to provide important safety information and updates to attendees before, during and after Homecoming. Knowing who will be on-site makes it easier to account for everyone in case of an emergency and enables quick communication during emergencies. Registration also helps ensure that our campus doesn’t exceed safe limits, which is crucial for crowd control and emergency evacuations, and it can help identify any unauthorized individuals, thereby enhancing overall security.

As a reminder, all faculty, staff and students are required to have their Bowie Bulldog ID Card visible while on campus. Please note the BSU Department of Athletics has a clear bag policy for all athletic events.

We appreciate your support and understanding as we implement these public safety measures. Thank you for helping us keep Homecoming safe, welcoming and fun for the whole family.
