General Info

General information about the rules pertaining to non-resident graduate students can be found on the Graduate Board website. The Graduate Board is the body that makes rules governing the granting of degrees at Johns Hopkins University. For example, they create the requirements pertaining to Graduate Board Orals, residence at the university, leaves of absence, and more.

If there are specific questions you have about the Graduate Board which are not answered on their website, you may always contact the Graduate Board directly, or simply ask the GRO. Your Graduate Board representative this year is Mary Berk; please feel free to contact her with your concerns.

Your Privileges

In generations past, non-resident students were forbidden to so much as be present on campus. Today, thankfully, much has changed. Non-resident students are granted free use of the Counseling Center and the Student Health and Wellness Center. In addition, they are entitled to a JHU email account and to online access of the library databases (such as the ones holding online journal articles, etc). While non-resident students are not permitted (by Graduate Board regulation) to check books out of the library, you may be able to get special permission from the library.
