Student and Academic Handbook
Academic Handbook
The Johns Hopkins SAIS Student and Academic Handbook, formerly known as "The Red Book," is a compilation of policies, regulations, and procedures for students. Its purpose is two-fold: to communicate the standards of The Johns Hopkins University that support and guide life at Johns Hopkins SAIS as part of the greater JHU community and to describe the academic policies and procedures that form a framework for conducting the school's teaching mission. Of particular importance is the Honor Code, which sets out the behavioral standards expected of all Johns Hopkins SAIS students.
Academic Handbook
The information contained in this handbook is not available in any other school publication, and students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with its contents. Questions related to the manual should be directed to Academic Affairs.
The policies and procedures detailed in the academic handbook are subject to revision at any time, and changes are communicated to students only through their assigned JHU e-mail addresses. It is imperative that you activate and monitor this account so as not to miss these and other important announcements and messages throughout the year.
