Jan. 28 Transition to Virtual Operations, Campus Closed

Bowie State University will be transitioning to virtual operations for all classes and office operations on Wednesday, January 28, 2026. The campus will be closed to all non-essential personnel, and all campus activities are canceled. All buildings except residence halls 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 on Jan. 28. For more information, please visit BowieState.edu/weather.

Wellness Kiosks

 Based on the work done by former BSU student Jakeya Johnson, all University System of Maryland schools are required to provide 24-hour access to reproductive health care by August 1, 2024. At BSU, we are doing this through wellness kiosks, which are essentially vending machines with reproductive/healthcare-related products.

Wellness Kiosks are an extension of the Henry A. Wise Wellness Center services, providing access to essential health items such as emergency contraceptives, over-the-counter medication, safe sex supplies, and personal-care products. They are sponsored by the Wellness Center in partnership with SimpliChek.

The BSU Community can access these kiosks at the following locations:

  • Entrepreneurship Living Learning Community
  • Haley Hall
  • Thurgood Marshall Library
  • Student Center Game Room

Payment via a credit/debit card is required to access products in the kiosks.
