COVID-19 Policy

With the significant decline in new COVID-19 infections across the State of Maryland, masks will be optional at Bulldog Stadium and in the indoor remote view locations. Additionally, social distancing will not be required. We encourage graduates and their guests to exercise personal responsibility and govern themselves according their own health and safety needs.

Clear Bag Policy

Bowie State University has implemented a clear bag policy for Commencement to provide a safer environment for the public and expedite entry into the Bulldog Stadium. This policy limits the size and types of bags permitted. Read more about the clear bag policy.
