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.

VI - 1.09 - Policy on Invitations for Campus Appearances

I. Out of courtesy and in order to avoid personal or institutional embarrassment, any individual or group planning to invite a person of local, regional, national, or world renown or interest to appear on the campus should notify the President's Office of this intention. The President's Office will make a determination as to whether protocol requires the anticipated invitation is to come from the President or whether it may come from another campus person. In the event that the invitation is NOT extended by the President, the inviting party should notify the President's Office immediately upon confirmation of acceptance of the invitation.

II. This policy applies to any invitation to any elected official from the city, the county, the state, or the nation, as well as to other persons. This courtesy should be extended even if the invited guest is scheduled only for a classroom appearance.
