Student Disability Services

(Formerly Disability support services)

The Director of Student Affairs is the Student Disability Services (SDS) coordinator for the School of Nursing. Applicants for admission are not asked to divulge disabilities requiring accommodations.

Upon admission and prior to enrollment, students with a disability should provide a comprehensive evaluation of a specific disability from an appropriate qualified diagnostician that identifies the type of disability, describes the current level of functioning in an academic setting, and lists recommended accommodations, including any accommodations received from previous educational institutions.

Students are encouraged to contact Student Disability Services in plenty of time prior to the start of the semester to ensure reasonable accommodations are provided in a timely manner.

The Johns Hopkins University Office of Student Disability Services serves as the central point of contact for information on physical and programmatic access, specific accommodations, resolution of complaints and problems, and identification of available services. Please refer to the Office of Institutional Equity to find guidelines for documentation and additional information.

For any concerns with disability related requests, accommodations and/or services, please refer to JHU’s Grievance Procedures for Students with Disabilities.
