The information below pertains to students entering fall 2009. Information for students entering spring 2010 will be available during November 2009.

Meningococcal (Meningitis) Vaccine Requirements

A meningitis vaccine is required for all students living in on-campus housing including students living in Millennium Hall, Paca and Tubman Houses. The link to the Meningococcal (Meningitis) Vaccine Form is provided below. The Department of Housing and Residence Life or Capstone Management (for students living in Paca and Tubman Houses) must receive your completed Meningococcal (Meningitis) Vaccine Form by August 21.

The vaccine is available at the Dowell Health Center and can be billed to your tuition account or your private insurance at your request. If you have not already mailed in your completed form, please submit it to:

  • Housing and Residence Life, Towson University, 8000 York Road, Towson, MD, 21252-0000, or
  • Capstone Management, 415 Towson Way, Towson, MD, 21252-0001

State law requires this form be on file BEFORE you can move into your room. For more information, visit the Housing and Residence Life Web site. 

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 will be mailed by the second week of 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.
  • 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.
