Other Health Screening Requirements

New students are required to submit a copy of the Entrance Medical History Form (MS Word document) with a copy of your immunization records.  Maryland State Law requires that campus residents receive the Meningitis A immunization.  Submit your Entrance Medical History Form and supporting documents to the BSU Wellness Center Patient Portal or via fax at (301) 860-4179.

  • You will have two hours to complete your move-in based on your assigned move-in appointment. You must adhere to the move in appointment.  
  • Residents may bring no more than two healthy helpers (at least 16 years old) to assist with vehicle unloading. University rolling carts will be available.
  • While resident rooms will be thoroughly cleaned, students are encouraged to bring personal disinfecting and cleaning supplies and protective equipment at your discretion.
  • At the end of your move-in time block, helpers will be required to leave campus. There will be no waiting area and only the two helpers will be allowed in the residence hall.  Residents are encouraged not to bring additional people as they will have to remain in the vehicle.
  • We will be unable to accommodate early or late arrivals. If you need to reschedule your assigned date & time,  please contact us at housing@bowiestate.edu
