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.

How do I organize my courses by term?

You may want to rearrange your list of courses or remove courses after the semester is over. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the My Courses nugget to edit the list of courses.

Edit My Courses

Under Section 1, check the box that says Group by Terms. This will tell Blackboard to organize your courses according to the semester. If you want to hide an entire semester, you can uncheck the box for that term. You are still enrolled in the courses as a matter of record, but you will not see the course.

Group By Term

Under Section 2, you can edit the specific courses that appear in the list as well as what information appears under each course listing. For example, if you want to see the name of the instructor and recent announcements, check those boxes. If you uncheck a course to remove it from the list, you are still enrolled as a matter of record, but you will not see the course listed when you log in.

The resulting section will look something like this when you return to the Home or Courses tab:
