The Johns Hopkins University is committed to maintaining a welcoming, inclusive, and caring environment for all students. The University grants or requires a leave of absence under appropriate circumstances to support students’ necessary time away for medical, service, hardship, or academic reasons. The Office of Leave of Absence Administration provides support for students who may experience a disruption in their academic journey which requires them to step away from the University for one or more semesters. We are here to help you through the process to ensure that you take the time that you need!
The University complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 which afford protection from discrimination for otherwise qualified students with disabilities. The University will engage in an interactive, individualized process with each Covered Student to determine if there are any adjustments that can be made in accordance with the ADA and Section 504.
Mission
The Office of Leave of Absence Administration oversees the administrative process governed by the University Student Leave of Absence Policy. The Office works across all schools/divisions, ensuring compliance with the policy and ensuring that students University-wide receive consistent and clear information regarding leave and reinstatement requests. The Office also provides outreach to students while on leave and facilitates students’ return upon the conclusion of their Leave of Absence.
