Deadline: August 12
Contact: Department of Housing and Residence Life - 410-704-2516 |
The To-Do List information below is for students entering fall 2011. Information for students entering fall 2012 will be available in mid-April.
Meningococcal (Meningitis) Vaccine Requirements
A meningitis vaccine is required for all students living in Towson University
on-campus housing. A Meningococcal (Meningitis) Vaccine Form is included
in the enclosed booklet for your convenience. The vaccine is available at
Dowell Health Center and can be billed to your tuition account or your
private insurance at your request.
The Department of Housing and Residence Life must receive your completed
Meningococcal (Meningitis) Vaccine Form by August 12. State law requires
this form to be on file BEFORE you can move into your room.
If you have not already mailed in your completed form, submit it to:
University Housing: Department of Housing and Residence Life, Towson
University, 8000 York Road, Towson, MD 21252-0001.
PLEASE DO NOT RETURN YOUR MENINGITIS FORM TO DOWELL HEALTH CENTER.
Move-In
All new students who will be living on campus are welcome to move into
their assigned residence halls on August 27 from 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Room
assignments and information are sent in early August. To help Move-In go
as smoothly as possible, the Department of Housing and Residence Life
requests your cooperation with the following:
- Pack as lightly as possible. Only bring those items that are essential. It is
not necessary that you bring everything on your first trip to campus.
n Box as many items as possible. This will help you to maintain order and
to cut down on missing items. Bring a cart or hand truck, if you have one.
- Unload and move your car as quickly as possible to the designated lots.
Spaces near the residence halls are needed to move people in.
If available, use the Move-In Crew. Let them help you. We are expecting a
large number of new students and have organized the move-in to go as
smoothly as possible. Elevators will be used for moving in only. Use stairs
as much as possible. There will be a staff of students to assist you; however,
with all move-ins you can expect lines. Your patience will be appreciated.
You can expect to spend a few hours from the time you arrive until you are
completely moved in.
What’s included in each room
Bed, mattress, desk, chair, closet or wardrobe, dresser, carpet, curtains/blinds,
MicroFridge (microwave/refrigerator combo), and cable TV and wireless
Internet.
We recommend you bring the following
Bed linen/sheets (extra long twin), mattress pad, pillow, blanket, towels,
fan, telephone, cleaning supplies, wastebasket, power strip with built-in
circuit breaker, TV, TV cable, storage containers for food, desk lamp(s).
