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 on-campus housing (including students living in
Millennium Hall, Paca House and Tubman House). 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.
PLEASE DO NOT RETURN YOUR MENINGITIS
FORM TO DOWELL HEALTH CENTER.
The Department of Housing and Residence Life or
Capstone Management 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, please submit it to:
University Housing (including Douglass and
Barton Houses): Department of Housing and
Residence Life, Towson University, 8000 York Road, Towson, MD 21252-0001

Way, Towson, MD 21252

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.
