We care about your health at Towson. You are required to complete and return your Spring 2009 Pre-Entrance Health Form and Immunization Record by mail to Dowell Health Center, 8000 York Road, Towson, MD 21252-0001, or by fax to 410-704-3715.

• Pre-Entrance Health Form and Immunization Record

You must complete and return your health and immunization records as soon as possible.  Failure to meet the university's mandatory immunization requirements will affect your access to class scheduling.

Required Immunizations

For a reasonable charge, students may obtain required vaccines (MMR, Tetanus-diptheria-pertussis, Meningitis vaccine) by appointment at the Dowell Health Center, 410-704-2466. Charges will be billed to your tuition account. Representatives from the Dowell Health Center will be available at check-in to accept a health and/or immunization record or to assist you in faxing requests for missing information to your health care provider.

Private Insurance Plan Billing at Dowell Health Center

The Dowell Health Center will bill most private insurance plans for services provided at the health center if you wish us to do so. Therefore, please bring your insurance information every time you visit the Dowell Health Center. We are contracted as “preferred (in-network) providers” with several of the major insurance companies that serve our students, which will mean less out-of-pocket cost to you. For more information regarding this new service and to determine if we are preferred providers for your insurance plan, please visit www.towson.edu/dowellhealthcenter and click on Using Private Insurance, or call us directly at 410-704-2466.

Students Living on Campus

As required by Maryland law, students moving into campus housing must be immunized against meningitis. The vaccine is available at the Dowell Health Center and can be billed to your tuition account. As part of your Housing Contract Package, you received a Meningitis Fact Sheet and a Meningococcal Vaccine Requirement form. A duplicate form is enclosed in this package. You (or your parent/ guardian if you are under 18 years of age) must complete the vaccine requirements or sign the waiver portion of the form and return the form to the Department of Housing and Residence Life, Towson University, 8000 York Road, Towson, MD 21252-0001.  PLEASE DO NOT RETURN MENINGITIS FORMS TO DOWELL HEALTH CENTER.
