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 to Pay

Students who register before the billing date will receive a bill via e-mail and must make payment or approved payment arrangements prior to the bill due date or their enrollment may be canceled. Students who register after the billing date may review their bill on-line via Bulldog Connection and must pay their bill or make approved payment arrangements prior to the due date of the bill or enrollment may be cancelled.

Students who register for the 2nd 7-week session are expected to make payment or approved payment arrangements at the time of registration.

Approved payment arrangements authorized by Board of Regents policy are:

  1. Students who are approved for a Guaranteed Student Loan;
  2. Third Party Billings (sponsor pays all or part of the students’ charges)**;
  3. Students who are enrolled in a University approved installment payment program; and
  4. Financial aid awarded by the institution that has not been completely processed.

**Note: If the sponsor does not pay the University within 60 days of the billing date, the student will then be responsible for full payment of the balance due and will not be permitted to register for a subsequent semester until all financial obligations have been paid.  Account balance must be cleared before students will be allowed to participate in future registrations, graduation or to receive transcripts. 

The student is responsible for any portion of tuition and fees not covered by the third party agency.

The University does not participate in employer reimbursement plans where the student is reimbursed tuition expenses from his/her employer. 

Students who register during late registration will incur a $50.00 late registration fee.

During late registration, payment for semester charges is due and payable at the time of registration.
