Our Mission
The Johns Hopkins Carey Business School supports business knowledge development and education
through our own initiatives, innovations, and collaborative programs across the Johns Hopkins
University. We create and share knowledge that shapes business practices while educating business
leaders who will grow economies and societies, and are exemplary citizens.
Introduction
The Johns Hopkins University
Established in 1876, the Johns Hopkins
University was the first American university
dedicated to advanced study and scientific
research. Today, Johns Hopkins continues as a
leader in teaching, research, and community
service and is the single largest university
recipient of research and development funds
from the federal government. There are 10
divisions within the university.
The Johns Hopkins Carey Business Schools
faculty, administrative staff, and many of its
programs are located in Baltimore. Programs are
also offered at campus locations in Columbia
and Montgomery County, Maryland, and
Washington, D.C. The Krieger School of Arts
and Sciences and the G.W.C. Whiting School
of Engineering are based on the Homewood
campus in north Baltimore. The School of
Education houses its central administration and
some programs in the Homewood Campus
Education Building. Additional campus facilities
are in Columbia and Montgomery County.
The School of Medicine, Bloomberg School of
Public Health, and School of Nursing occupy a
campus in East Baltimore, along with the Johns
Hopkins Hospital, a separate but closely allied
institution. The Peabody Institute, one of the
nations leading professional schools of music,
is also located in Baltimore; the Paul H. Nitze
School of Advanced International Studies is in
Washington, D.C.; and the Applied Physics
Laboratory is in Laurel, Maryland. Academic
campuses overseas are in Nanjing, China;
Bologna, Italy; and Singapore.

Academic Advising
By consulting with academic advisers throughout
their degree or certificate programs, students can
ease the registration process, ensure conformity
to program curricula and regulations, select
course work to best meet career or professional
goals, and stay on track for timely completion of
their academic program.
Each student is assigned an academic
adviser upon acceptance of admission to an
undergraduate or graduate program. Advising
may be done in person, by phone, or by email.
Students should seek advising:
New students are expected to seek advising
prior to registering for class for the first time.
To plan courses in their concentration,
students should schedule appointments with

advisers prior to registering for advanced-level
graduate coursework.
Undergraduate or graduate students on
academic probation or suspension are
required to meet with an adviser prior to
re-registration.
All students who are absent for more than
one calendar year and who did not obtain an
approved Leave of Absence will be required to
apply for readmission through the Office of
Admissions before being permitted to re-enroll.
Academic Progress
Undergraduate Students
Undergraduate students at the Carey Business
School must have a minimum 2.00 grade point
average to graduate and must maintain at least
a C average (2.00 on a 4.00 scale) to remain
in good academic standing. Students receive
credit for courses in which they receive grades
lower than a C; however, students must repeat
any required course in which they receive an F
(please refer to repeat policy for further details).
Undergraduate students will be placed on
academic probation if their cumulative grade
point average falls below 2.00. Grades will
be reviewed for academic progress at the end
of each semester. Students whose cumulative
GPA falls below 2.00 must meet with their
advisers to discuss resources such as tutoring or
workshops so that they can raise their GPA to
assure continued progress toward graduation. A
Probation Hold will be placed on the student
record for any undergraduate student with a
cumulative GPA below 2.00. Students will be
removed from academic probation when their
cumulative grade point average reaches 2.00.
Students on academic probation who do not
raise their cumulative grade point average above
2.00 by the completion of the following semester
of enrollment may be suspended. After a period
of one semester, academically suspended students
are required to meet with their academic advisers
and may then submit a written petition for
reinstatement on a probationary basis.
A student will be dismissed when a) it is

not possible for a student to attain the required
2.00 GPA within the schools academic policies,
and/or b) when a student fails the same
course a second time.
Graduate Students
Graduate students at the Carey Business School
must have a minimum 3.00 grade point average
to graduate and must maintain at least a B
average (3.00 on a 4.00 scale) to remain in good
academic standing. Students receive credit for
courses in which they receive grades lower than a
B; however, students need to repeat any required
course in which they receive an F. (Please refer to
repeat policy for further details).
Graduate students will be placed on
academic probation if their cumulative grade
point average falls below 3.00. Grades will be
reviewed for academic progress at the end of
each semester or for one-year programs at the
end of each term. Students whose cumulative
GPA falls below 3.00 must meet with their
advisers to discuss resources such as tutoring or
workshops so that they can raise their GPA to
assure continued progress toward graduation. A
Probation Hold will be placed on the student
record for any student with a cumulative GPA
below 3.00. Students will be removed from
academic probation when their cumulative grade
point average reaches 3.00.
Students on academic probation who do

not raise their cumulative grade point average
to 3.00 by the completion of the following
semester, or following term if enrolled in
a one-year program, may be suspended.
After a period of one semester, academically
suspended students are required to meet with
their academic advisers and may then submit
a written petition for reinstatement on a
probationary basis.
A student will be dismissed when a) it is

not possible for a student to attain the required
3.00 GPA, within the schools academic
policies, and/or b) when a student fails the same
course a second time.
Note: These policies are for determining satisfactory
academic progress. Please review the Financial Aid
section of this handbook to determine the standards
for satisfactory progress for eligibility to receive or
continue to receive financial assistance.
Academic Standards
Johns Hopkins University and the Carey
Business School expect the highest academic
standards from its students. The awarding
of degrees and certificates is based upon
satisfactory completion of all degree/certificate
and instructional requirements determined by
student performance that meets the expectations
of the faculty as well as compliance with
University and School regulations. The Academic
Council of the Carey Business School reviews all
student applications for graduation and makes

recommendations for degree/certificate conferral
to the president of the University.
The university does not guarantee the
awarding of a degree or certificate to students
enrolled in any academic program. Any breach
of academic standards may result in disciplinary
actions against the student(s) involved. Please
see the Honor Code section for an overview of
grievance and due process procedures.
Admission
The Carey Business School requests that
applicants adhere to a paperless admissions
process. Students seeking admission to a
degree or certificate program must submit an
online application and all required application
documents outlined on the Carey Admissions
website at carey.jhu.edu/admissions,
as well as the application fee. Admission
requirements (e.g., standardized test scores)
vary by program. Applicants are encouraged to
contact the Office of Admissions or visit carey.
jhu.edu/admissions to determine specific
admission criteria, suitability of prior degrees,
or certification requirements for their desired
programs of study. Students who provide
fraudulent or misleading information by
omitting relevant details during the admission
process, or falsifying information will face
disciplinary action to include withdrawal of the
application or dismissal.
The Carey Business School has priority and
standard application dates and participates in a
rolling admission practice in which applications
are accepted and processed throughout the year.
Application review times vary and are dependent
carey.jhu.edu
upon the date and time an applicant completes

the application file with all required documents.
To expedite the process, applicants should utilize
an E-transcript service to have official copies
of undergraduate and/or graduate transcripts
(and/or course-by-course evaluations for
international students) sent before or at the time
of submission of their application. E-transcript
options include iwantmytranscript.com/
jhucbs and exchange.parchment.com. Paper
transcripts will only be accepted for applicants
coming from institutions that do not offer an
e-transcript option. Please visit carey.jhu.edu/
admissions for more details.
Academic records (transcripts, diplomas,
and degree certificates) for degrees earned from
non-U.S. institutions must be evaluated by an
authorized credential evaluation agency (not
the Office of Admissions). Applicants who
earned credits at a non-U.S. institution without
earning a degree should submit an official
English translation of the transcript from the
institution where those credits were earned in
lieu of a course-by-course evaluation. See the
International Credential Evaluation section

of this catalog.
All applications to the Carey Business
School should be submitted online at carey.jhu.
edu/admissions/application-process. Paper
applications are no longer accepted. Electronic
documents are preferred and will expedite
the process. If hard copy documents must
be sent, mail to:
Johns Hopkins Carey Business School
Office of Admissions
100 International Drive
Baltimore, MD 21202
To be eligible for federal financial aid, federal
regulations require that students be accepted
unconditionally into a 15-credit (or more)
degree or certificate program, and maintain
an enrollment status of at least half-time each
semester. Note that provisionally admitted
students who are taking the prerequisite credits
necessary for full admission to their program
may be considered for limited federal loan
assistance for one or two semesters depending
on the number of prerequisites required. Loans
may not exceed tuition charges for the specific
number of required credits, registration or course
fees, and a book allowance.
Bachelors Programs
The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA)
program will enroll its last incoming class in fall
2016. After this date, no new students will be
invited to join the BBA program at the Johns
Hopkins Carey Business School. As a result,
new applicants for fall 2015 and fall 2016 are
strongly encouraged to speak directly with an
Admissions Officer at the Carey Business School
to fully understand the potential implications for
the student experience in this program (i.e. low
class enrollment, etc.)
An applicant for admission to a Carey
Business School undergraduate program must
hold a high school diploma or an equivalent and
have earned 60 semester hours or 90 quarter
hours of transfer-eligible, college-level credits
from a regionally accredited institution.
Applicants must submit an application for
admission, the application fee, and all other
required supporting documentation (such as
letters of recommendation, essay and optional
resume), along with official transcripts from all
post-secondary colleges or universities attended.
10
Academic records from non-U.S. institutions

must be evaluated by an authorized credential
evaluation agency (see list in the International
Credential Evaluation section of this catalog for
suggested agencies). Additionally, the admission
process may include an interview.
For more information about admission
to undergraduate programs, please contact
the undergraduate Admissions Officer at
carey.ug@jhu.edu.
Masters Programs
Applicants must submit an application for
admission, the application fee, and all other
required supporting documentation (such as
letters of recommendation, essay and optional
resume), along with official transcripts from all
post-secondary colleges or universities attended.
Academic records from non-U.S. institutions
must be evaluated by an authorized credential
evaluation agency (see list in the International
Credential Evaluation section of this catalog for
suggested agencies). Additionally, the admission
process may include an interview.
Additional materials are required for
international student admission. Please see
the International Student Admission Policy
section for details.
Certificate Programs
Applicants to graduate certificate programs
must hold a bachelors degree from a regionally
accredited college or university with a minimum
cumulative grade point average of 3.00 on a 4.00
scale. Additional application requirements vary
by certificate program. Students have three years
to complete the certificate.
Graduate Degree Requirements

Once admitted to a graduate degree program
in the Carey Business School, students must
complete all coursework at Johns Hopkins
University, except with prior written approval
from an adviser. Exceptions are rare, but will
be considered on a case-by-case basis. Graduate
students enrolled in masters programs have six
years to complete their degree. For information
regarding specific degree requirements for each
graduate program, please refer to the detailed
program descriptions online.
State-Specific Authorization for

Online Courses
The Johns Hopkins Carey Business School is
currently not accepting applications to the Flex
MBA (online format) from students who reside
in Indiana, Arkansas, Iowa, and Kansas due to
state authorization policies. This list is subject to
change and the online application will include
the most up to date list. Residents in these states
may apply to Carey Business School programs
offered onsite at any JHU campus location.
Verification of Credentials
Accuracy is expected in all documents provided
by all applicants. Applicants must not make
inaccurate statements, fabricated, or material
omissions on their applications, during the
interview nor submit any false materials related
to or in connection with seeking admission.
Violation of this requirement will result in
the application being rejected or withdrawn
from consideration.
It is, therefore, the policy of the Carey
Business School to verify all documents and
credentials in support of an application. Carey
Business School staff and university officials
reserve the right to verify the authenticity of
any information submitted or provided during
the course of the admission process. Essays and
letters of recommendation may be traced back to
their origin in order to establish authenticity.
Documents uploaded into the online
application are verified through Turnitin for
Admissions turnitinadmissions.com.
If a violation is discovered during the
application process an applicant will be
withdrawn from admission consideration. If
a violation is discovered after an applicant has
been admitted the offer will be rescinded and the
student is no longer eligible for enrollment
even if the student has already enrolled and is
currently making progress in an academic degree
or certificate program. A degree or certificate
conferred by the Johns Hopkins Carey Business
School may also be rescinded if admission
to the School was previously offered based
upon falsified or inaccurate information. The
application fee is nonrefundable.
Transfer of Undergraduate Credits
degree program in the Carey Business School,

including credits by examination. Quarter-hour
courses will be converted to semester hours. The
undergraduate program at the Carey Business
School does not award life experience credits.
Note: Financial aid students in undergraduate
programs who borrow student loan funds must be
awarded freshmen-level loans until their transfer
credits have been evaluated and accepted so their
applicable grade-level for aid eligibility can be
determined and documented, in accordance with
federal law.
Transfer of Graduate Credit or

Waive With Replacement
The maximum number of credits earned
at another regionally accredited college or
university that may be transferred with
replacement into a graduate degree program in
the Carey Business School in no case can exceed
four credits or two classes. Any request for
transfer or waiver of courses must be submitted
within the first two semesters from the date of
admission. Full-time degree programs at the
Carey Business School do not allow transfer
credits or waivers.
The maximum number of credits earned at
another school within Johns Hopkins University
that may be transferred into a graduate degree
program in the Carey Business School in no case
can exceed four credits or two classes as long
as each course transferred counts toward one
two-credit course. Dual degree students may
not apply transfer credits from other divisions
of Johns Hopkins towards completion of their
Carey degree. All credits earned towards the
Carey portion of a dual degree must be earned in
the Carey Business School.
Students in full-time academic programs
at other Johns Hopkins University divisions
may take classes at the Carey Business School
as a graduate level, non-degree seeking student.
These interdivisional requests for enrollment will
be processed the week before the semester starts
to allow degree-seeking students ample time to
register for classes. Only six credits earned as
a non-degree student may be counted toward
an MBA, MS or Graduate Certificate from the
Carey Business School.

International Student
Admission Policy
Demonstration of English Language
Proficiency by Non-native-speaking
Applicants
As one measure of potential for academic success
while a student in the Carey Business School,
international applicants must demonstrate
proficiency in both written and spoken English.
To demonstrate proficiency, applicants to
both undergraduate and graduate programs
must submit either official TOEFL (Test
of English as a Foreign Language) scores or
official IELTS (International English Language
Testing System) scores if the undergraduate
degree has not been earned from an accredited
institution in the U.S. (or Canada). The
preferred minimum TOEFL requirement is
600 (paper-based), 250 (computer-based), or
100 (internet-based). The TOEFL code for the
Johns Hopkins Carey Business School is 0834.
The preferred IELTS score is 7.0. Applicants to
certain graduate programs may also be required
to provide additional evidence of English
proficiency, including:
A telephone, Skype, or in-person interview
with an admission committee member
A writing sample certified to be the
applicants own work
A writing examination administered by the
Additional workshop(s) or course(s) in
written or spoken English upon enrollment in
the Carey Business School
The admissions committee will determine
and request the additional evidence of English
proficiency required for admission to the given
graduate program. The committee may grant
a waiver from the English proficiency exam
requirement if the applicant has demonstrated
by other means sufficient proficiency in spoken
and written English for success in the program
and in the profession (e.g., the non-nativeEnglish-speaking applicant has earned a degree
from a college or university where English is the
language of instruction). An applicant may file
an English Language Proficiency Exam Waiver
Request when submitting his/her application
to the Office of Admissions. The form can be
found online at carey.jhu.edu/admissions/
international-applicants. Students who do not
meet the preferred minimum, but are admitted
12
to the school will be required to take ESL classes

until proficiency is met.
F-1 Visa Applicants
An international applicant requiring a student
(F-1) visa to attend school must obtain
admission to a degree program well in advance
of the start of the semester. The Carey Business
School does not issue certificates of eligibility
(Form I-20) for provisional acceptance to a
degree program, nor does it issue an I-20 for
any certificate programs. I-20s are issued,
however, for conditional admissions. The
application and other required admission
deadlines for international students who require
a student (F-1) visa and who plan to attend
the Carey Business School are April 1st for the
fall semester and October 15th for the spring
semester. If applications and other required
documents are not received on or before these
deadlines, the application will be considered
at the start of the next semester. For program
application deadline dates, visit carey.jhu.edu/
admissions/deadlines.
After receipt of the acceptance letter from
the Carey Business School and payment of the
enrollment fee, international students who need
to obtain an F-1 student visa will be sent an
email from the Office of International Services
(OIS) with information on the steps required
to receive a form I-20 Certificate of Eligibility.
This email will be sent to the address listed in
the students application in Apply Yourself. If
the information is not received, please contact
OIS at carey.intl@jhu.edu. The I-20 is not
automatically sent with the acceptance letter.
Before an I-20 is issued, the international
student is required to submit financial
documentation to the OIS via iHopkins, per the
instructions. I-20s will not be issued until the
student has accepted the offer of admission, the
enrollment fee has been paid, and all required
documents have been uploaded to iHopkins.
An overview of the process and the
documentation required can be found online
at ois.jhu.edu/Immigration_and_Visas/For_
New_Students_and_Scholars/For_Students

and the amount of funding required in order to
be issued an I-20 can be found here:

International applicants who hold visa

types other than an F-1 visa and who wish to
enroll as part-time graduate special (non-degree)
students should follow the application directions
in this section. International graduate students
attending other institutions in student (F-1)
status during the regular academic year are

International Credential Evaluation
Applicants who hold degrees from non-U.S.
institutions (with the exception of Canada)
must have their academic records evaluated
by an authorized credential evaluation agency
(such as the one listed below) before they can
be considered for admission to a degree or
certificate program. For degrees earned at nonU.S. institutions, an official course-by-course
evaluation assessing the degree, the overall grade
point average and the courses taken, should
be submitted. Final official course-by-course
credential evaluations must be the equivalency of
a U.S. degree and from a regionally-accredited
university or college in the United States.
Please do not send official foreign transcripts.
Credential evaluations are used to assess a
students coursework against the U.S. grading
system and to evaluate courses for possible
transfer credit. In addition to submitting official
academic records to the Carey Business School,
applicants should make arrangements with an
authorized credential evaluation agency for an
evaluation of the degree, an assessment of the
overall grade point average, and a course-bycourse evaluation.
Applicants who have earned credits at a
non-U.S. institution without earning a degree
must submit official sealed transcripts in English
to the following address:

Alumni
One of the largest alumni networks within
Johns Hopkins University, Carey Business
School alumni are an extraordinary group of
individuals committed to making a difference
in their professions and in their communities.
This commitment is a thread that ties all Johns
Hopkins alumni together. More than 193,000
strong, the entire Hopkins alumni community
is a rich and diverse group of individuals and
a great resource for current students and other
Hopkins alumni.
Many of the schools alumni completed
undergraduate or graduate degrees while working
full-time and raising families, attending classes
on evenings and weekends. Other alumni joined
various cohorts in full-time programs for one
to two years. These shared experiences create
a powerful bond that connects alumni to the
school and over time to each other. The Office

of Alumni Relations further strengthens that
bond with cultural, social, and networking
opportunities that connect alumni with one
another and with current students.
Students and alumni can be an active part
of the Carey Business School community by
attending events, volunteering, sharing Carey
Business School experiences with colleagues,
friends, and prospective students, and staying
in touch with professors and classmates. To
take advantage of everything the Carey Business
School alumni network has to offer, please visit

Attendance Policy
Participation in lectures, discussions, and other
activities is an essential part of the instructional
process. Students are expected to attend class;
those who are compelled to miss class meetings
must inform their instructors of the reasons
for absences. Faculty members often include
classroom participation and attendance in
carey.jhu.edu
student grading and evaluation. Instructors

will clearly communicate expectations and
grading policy in the course syllabus. Students
who expect to miss several class sessions for
personal, professional, religious or other reasons
are encouraged to meet with their academic
15
advisers to consider alternative courses prior

to registration.
In order to maintain the academic integrity
of our programs, it is important that any class
session that is missed due to weather, instructor
illness or other emergency is made up, and that
any missed material is covered. However, faculty
members have considerable latitude over how the
class sessions will be made up and have several
options from which to choose. They may:
Extend each class period so as to make up the
total time missed.
Plan and schedule an Adobe Connect/
Blackboard online session.
Re-schedule the class period to a designated
make-up day. Designated make-up days
are scheduled at the end of each 8-week
term or semester.
Whenever a class session is cancelled,
each faculty member may choose the most
appropriate make-up alternative for that
particular class. The faculty member must
notify the students in the class and the Office of
Education about which option will be used to

make up the class period.
This policy is designed to address those
situations when a single class day has been
cancelled. Weather emergencies or other events
that result in multiple-day cancellations will be
handled on a case-by-case basis.
Religious Observances
Religious observances are valid reasons for
students to be excused from class. Whenever
feasible, students should be allowed to make up
academic assignments that are missed due to
such absences. However, the student must notify
the instructor in writing of the projected absence
prior to the second class session of the course.
Students who expect to miss several classes
because of religious observances are encouraged
to meet with their academic advisers to consider
alternative courses prior to registration.
Examinations
A student who needs to miss an examination
must notify the instructor in advance. The
faculty member will decide if and how the
student will make up the missed examination.
Blackboard
The Carey Business School uses Blackboard as
its course management system, which provides
the opportunity to integrate technology into the
teaching and learning process. Faculty members
manage their own course content within their
Blackboard course websites. Enrolled students
can access course documents, assignments,

and can communicate with instructors and
students through the Blackboard course site. The
Blackboard helpdesk can be reached at 866-6696138 or online at bbcrm.edusupportcenter.

English for Speakers of other Languages (ESOL)

English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)
classes at the Carey Business School are offered
by the English Language Program (ELP). The
carey.jhu.edu
English Language Program (ELP) promotes

the value of communicative competence for
both academic achievement and professional
19
success. We help students develop their English

communication skills and understanding
of American business settings. Classes are
communicative, interactive and student-driven.
There is an emphasis on nuances of expression
and intercultural communications skills to serve
students in their learning and development.
Classes focus on using spoken and written
English for both business and academic
purposes. Emphasis is on understanding the
genre of the communicative message, focusing
on accuracy in vocabulary, expression, grammar,
and pronunciation in order to effectively
deliver clear messages at work and in the
academic environment.
Tuition and Fees
BEX course fees are included in tuition that
full-time students pay each semester, thus there
is no additional fee. Part-time students will pay a

per course fee.
Graduate Classes
English Speaking and Writing for Graduate
Business Students I, II, III and IV are available
at our Baltimore and DC campuses.
Undergraduate Classes
Business English for Undergraduates I, II, III
and IV are available at our DC campus.
Conditional Admission
For students who are admitted to Carey
conditionally with an ESL requirement,
enrollment in English Language Program courses
is required each term until proficiency is met.
Financial Aid
The Carey Business School offers financial
support that includes federal grants and lowinterest loans, state grants and scholarships,
and school-based scholarships. In general,
consideration for financial aid is restricted
to students who have been fully and
unconditionally accepted into a degree or
approved certificate program, enroll half-time or
more each semester, and maintain satisfactory
academic progress. Students admitted in
midterm will become eligible for aid for the
next semester. Note that provisionally admitted
students who are taking the prerequisite
credits necessary for unconditional admission
to their program may be considered for
limited federal loan assistance for one or
two semesters depending on the number of
prerequisites required.
The academic year consists of the summer,
fall, and spring semesters. The Fall I and Fall
II terms together comprise the fall semester.
Likewise, the Spring I and Spring II terms
together comprise the spring semester. For
the purposes of most financial aid programs,
students must maintain at least half-time
enrollment in the semester. Half-time enrollment
for undergraduate students is at least 6 credits
in a semester. Half-time enrollment for graduate
students is at least 4.5 credits per semester
(which is 3 two-credit courses) for the fall
and spring semester, and at least 3 credits in
20
the summer term. Students who enroll in the

January intercession will have those credits added
to their spring semester credits to determine
their enrollment status.
Deferment of student loan repayment is
available for students enrolled at least half-time
and in a degree-seeking program. The Office
of the Registrar certifies loan deferment forms.
Students who only need one or two courses to
graduate and will enroll less than half-time will
go into their grace period as of the date they
cease attending at least half-time.
Financial aid is available only for courses
that are required of the degree program and
for which students will receive credit toward
completion of their program. Courses taken
merely for personal reasons or simply so a
student can remain enrolled at least half time
are not eligible for federal financial aid. Audited
courses do not count toward the credits required
for financial aid availability.
Students must maintain satisfactory
academic progress and credit compliance
(half-time enrollment in required courses per
semester in which aid is received) to continue

To be considered for financial aid, a
student must file the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) using school code
E02145. Please also complete the Application for
Financial Aid. Both forms are available online
at carey.jhu.edu/admissions/financial-aid/
forms-and-helpful-info. Students need to
reapply for aid each year by completing the
next academic years Application for Financial
Aid and filing a Renewal FAFSA. School-based
scholarship applicants also must complete the
School-based Scholarship Application and
write an essay.
The priority filing date to apply for
financial aid each year is April 15 (March 15 for
full-time programs and the Executive MBA).
For spring-only applicants, the priority filing
date to apply for financial aid is November 1st.
Students can apply for financial aid at any time
during the academic year (prior to the end of
classes), however the application process can take
time, and only those who apply by the priority
filing date can be assured that their financial
aid awards will be ready for the start of classes.
Maryland residents who wish to be considered
for Maryland state scholarships must complete a
FAFSA prior to March 1.
Students must demonstrate financial
need as calculated by federal methodology
to be considered eligible for all need-based
aid, including government-subsidized direct
loans. In addition to other documentation,
students selected for verification will also have
to provide signed copies of their most recent
federal tax transcripts and those of parents or
spouses (if applicable), including all schedules

filed and W-2 forms.
Most financial aid available is in the form
of federal student loans. For information on
the types of financial aid available, please refer
to our website at carey.jhu.edu/admissions/
financial-aid/types-of-assistance.
For purposes of federal loan eligibility,
undergraduates must have earned at least 24
credits toward their degree program to qualify
for a sophomore-level loan, and at least 48
credits to qualify for upperclassman loan limits.
Only transfer credits accepted for transfer
toward the students degree can be counted in
determining grade level. New undergraduate
students applying for financial aid will be
awarded a freshman-level student loan until
their transfer credits have been evaluated and
accepted toward their degree program, so
their appropriate grade-level for financial aid
eligibility can be determined.
Financial aid awards disburse to the student
account on the first day of the semester for
students whose financial aid files are complete
and awarded. When aid from all sources exceeds
the tuition and fees charged by the School, the
Student Accounts Office will process a refund
of any credit balance remaining on the students
account. Students whose aid awards exceed
the cost of tuition and fees may request book
vouchers for use at the Schools bookstores three
weeks prior to the start of class. Requests should
be in writing and include the estimated cost of
the books from MBS.
The Carey Business School reserves the
right to ask for documentation necessary to
determine aid eligibility.
Documents submitted as part of aid
applications become the property of the Carey
Business School and cannot be returned.
Applications for federal aid cannot be processed
if the relevant tax returns have not been filed in
accordance with IRS code. Federal regulations
require that the School report suspected cases
of fraud or misrepresentation to the appropriate
federal, state, and local authorities. Gift aid
(scholarships and grants) may be taxable to the
extent that it exceeds the federally allowable
costs of tuition, fees, and required books and
supplies, or is dedicated to other costs, such as
living expenses. Federal grants may be taxable if,
together with other gift assistance, they exceed
the allowable costs.

federal formula. Aid proceeds, which have been
previously refunded to the student for living
expenses, may have to be repaid immediately
as well. For more information please refer to
our website at carey.jhu.edu/admissions/

Grading Policy
The grading system used for official grades for
all Carey Business School coursesgraduate and
undergraduateis as follows.
A+ is not awarded at any level.
A is awarded to those who demonstrate
extraordinarily excellent performance.
A- is awarded for excellent performance.
B+ and B are awarded for good
performance in a course.
C+, C, and C- are awarded at the
graduate and undergraduate levels.
D+, D, and D- are awarded at the
undergraduate level only.
AU (Auditor) indicates no credit received for
course and no grade assigned by instructor.
(Beginning with the summer 2013 semester,
Carey no longer allows academic courses
to be audited).
F indicates the students failure to
satisfactorily complete the course work. If
laboratory work is part of a course in which
an F is received, both the lecture and
laboratory work must be repeated unless the
instructor in the course indicates otherwise.
If the course is not required for graduation,
it need not be repeated; the grade, however,
remains on the transcript and is calculated
into the grade point average.
22
I (Incomplete) indicates the instructor is
not prepared to give a final grade for the

course because of some justifiable delay in the
students completion of specific course work.
A final grade is submitted to the Office of the
Registrar by the instructor after grading the
students completed work, provided it is done
within the agreed time frame. In the event
that the work is not completed within the
agreed time frame and no grade is reported
within four weeks after the end of the
semester, a grade of F replaces the I on the
students transcript.
P indicates successful completion of course
work. No quality points assigned.
R indicates that a course has been repeated.
When a course is repeated, both the original
and repeated course grades appear on the
academic record; however, only the repeated
course grade is used in calculating the grade
point average. Course credit can be applied
toward degree requirements only once, even
if a course is repeated. Both the original and
repeated course are indicated with an R on
the academic record.
W (Withdrawal) indicates an official
withdrawal approved by the Office of the
Registrar. It is not assigned by the instructor.
If a student wishes to withdraw from a
course, an add/drop form must be submitted

by the deadline in the Withdrawal Schedule.
X indicates the grade has not yet been
submitted by the instructor.
No notation on an official report may be
changed except to correct an error or replace an
I (Incomplete) grade.
Each instructor assigns grades according to
his/her own system.
Grade Point Average

Both semester and cumulative grade point
averages are noted on a students academic
record. To calculate grade point average (GPA),
multiply the number of credits for each course
by the quality points associated with the grades
received in each course; add up quality points;
then add up credits and divide quality points
by the number of credits. The quality points
used for all official grades for all Carey Business
School are listed in the following table.

adviser. Appeals must be submitted no later than

four weeks from the date the grade was assigned
by the instructor. To be successful a student must
show that 1) there was a clerical error; or 2) that
criteria different from those in the syllabus were
used to award grades; or 3) the instructor used
an arbitrary or inconsistent standard. Examples
of arbitrary standards could include differences
in political or ethical positions of the instructor
and student(s). The student must demonstrate
that an accommodation was not reached with
the instructor of record, and clearly delineate
which appeal criteria are the basis of the petition.
If there is no successful resolution, the
appeal will be forwarded to the Chair of the
Grade Appeal Committee (GAC). The GAC
will investigate and make a determination of
the remedy, if warranted. The remedy will be
communicated to the Vice Dean for Education,
who will inform all parties of the decision.
A student may appeal the decision of
GAC to the Dean of the Carey Business
School. The Dean has final authority on the
appropriate remedy.

Honor Code
The Carey Business School measures success
by the way a Carey graduate stands out as an
innovative business leader and exemplary citizen.
The Carey community believes that honesty,
integrity, and community responsibility are
qualities inherent in an exemplary citizen. The
objective of the Carey Business School Honor
Code is to create an environment of trust
among all members of the academic community
while the qualities associated with success are
developed in students.
The Honor Code requires that each student
act with honesty and integrity in all academic
and co-curricular activities and that each
carey.jhu.edu
student endeavor to hold his or her peers to

the same standard.
Upon witnessing a violation of the Honor
Code, a student is expected to inform either
the responsible faculty member or the Honor
Council of both the violation and the name of
the student accused of committing the violation.
Each member of the Carey community, as a
person of integrity, has a personal obligation
to adhere to this requirement. It is only by
upholding the Honor Code that members of the
entire Carey community can contribute to the
Schools ability to maintain its high standards
and its reputation.
25
Violations of this agreement are viewed as

serious matters that are subject to disciplinary
sanctions imposed by the Honor Council of
the Carey Business School, which is composed
of a fair representation of part-time and fulltime MBA, MS, BS and BBA students and
faculty members.
Academic Honesty
Violations of Academic Honesty include:
Lying Lying includes, but is not limited
to, knowingly communicating an untruth
in order to gain an unfair academic or
employment advantage, or neglecting
to divulge information when under the
circumstances, a person of integrity would be
expected to disclose the matter.
Cheating Cheating refers to any activity
that gives a student an unfair academic
advantage. It includes, but is not limited to,
using unauthorized materials to complete
an assignment; copying the work of another
student, or representing anothers work as

classes requires approval, in advance, from
each instructor.
This list is not all-inclusive, and is included for
illustrative purposes.
26

intimidation or disrespect is inconsistent with
the environment of learning and cooperation
that the School requires. This includes sexual
harassment, sexual violence, sexual assault

things as disposal of ones food and trash, to

reporting problems to the building maintenance
manager, to maintenance of appropriate level
of noise in study areas, and to notification to
appropriate security personnel of suspicious
persons in the facility.

resources, including hardware, software,
computer-based files and data, the Carey
network and other networks reached via Carey
facilities, is limited to authorized users and
is for approved purposes only. The copying
of software, the unauthorized installation of
software, and the unauthorized reconfiguration
of systems are forbidden by School policy.
Such activity would therefore constitute an
example of failure to respect the property and
rights of others and is expressly forbidden
under this Code. Each student is expected to
use Careys computing resources in an ethical
and legal manner in accordance with the
policies set forth here it.jhu.edu/policies/
itpolicies.html#UseofIT.
Library

with and abide by all Johns Hopkins University
and School policies and procedures. University
policies are available online at webapps.
jhu.edu/jhuniverse/administration/
minutes_policies_reports/policies, and in
the Carey Business School Student Handbook.
Failure to abide by these policies may result in
referral to University officials and/or local law
enforcement authorities. Conduct that violates
the Code may be subject to both School and
University discipline and/or public sanctions as
circumstances may warrant.
Complaints of Discrimination and
Harassment, Including Sexual Misconduct,
Relationship Violence and Stalking
The University is committed to maintaining
learning and working environments that are free

sexual misconduct, relationship violence, stalking
or retaliation in the workplace or educational
environment whether committed by managers,
faculty, administrators, staff, or students,
or by visitors to our institution of higher
learning. Conduct that violates the Universitys
Sexual Misconduct Policies, and AntiHarassment Policy (available at web.jhu.edu/
harassment_discrimination.html is
misconduct within this Code of Conduct. The
University is prepared to receive and resolve
complaints of discrimination and harassment
(including sexual misconduct, relationship
violence and stalking) under the preceding
policies that are brought to the attention of
any University academic administrator or other
responsible employee (as defined in the JHU
Procedures referenced below) by members of
the University community. Complaints brought
under these policies will be investigated and
resolved in accordance with the University
Procedures on Discrimination, Harassment,
Sexual Misconduct, Relationship Violence
and Stalking (JHU Procedures), which are
available at web.jhu.edu/administration/
jhuoie/equity_compliance/procedures.
html, and this Code of Conduct. Please review
the JHU Procedures carefully. These JHU
Procedures should be read in conjunction with
these School procedures for cases of sexual
misconduct, relationship violence and stalking.

The Carey Business School Honor Council
(hereinafter the Council) has jurisdiction over
disciplinary matters involving matriculated and
continuing Carey Business School students

3. Membership and
Responsibility of the Council
a. The Honor Council is responsible for:
i. Interpreting the Honor Code
ii. Promoting the values of the Honor
Code through communication
with Carey students, faculty,
and administrators
iii. Serving as representatives of the
student body or faculty on all issues
pertaining to the Honor Code
iv. Conducting investigations of suspected
Honor Code violations
b. The Honor Council will include a Chair,
Vice-Chair, five student representatives, seven
faculty representatives, and the Director of
Student Services or designee. The Director
of Student Services or designee will be a
non-voting member of the council. Student
representation should include full-time
and part-time programs. The student and
faculty representatives will be appointed
by the Vice Dean for Faculty and Research
and the Vice Dean for Education or their
designee. The Chair and Vice-Chair will be
students. The council will elect the chairs for
a one-year term.
c. If the Vice Dean for Education or the
co-chairs determine that a member of the
Honor Council is unfit to perform his or her
duties, the co-chairs will excuse that member
from all further involvement in the Honor
Council. His or her responsibilities will be
assumed by (a) another student appointed
jointly by the co-chairs and the Vice Dean

another faculty member appointed by the
Vice Dean for Faculty and Research. In
situations regarding Council membership not
covered as described above, the remaining
Council will have discretion to make
decisions based on a majority vote.
4. Procedure:
a. Any member of the faculty, administration,
staff, or any student who has reason to believe
a violation of the Honor Code has occurred
is expected to notify the Honor Council. All
allegations of sexual misconduct, relationship
violence and stalking must be reported to
the Title IX Coordinator. For a first offense
that does not involve sexual misconduct,
relationship violence and stalking, a faculty
member may, but is not required to, work
directly with the student for consequences
up to but not exceeding a zero on the
assignment/assessment. Notification to the
Honor Council prior to working directly
with the student is required to ensure it is
a first Honor Code offense. A report of the
offense and outcome will be kept on record.
All other suspected violations will be filed as a
complaint with the Council against a student
(hereinafter Accused) alleging a violation in
accordance with section 2. A student may also
report an alleged violation to the responsible
faculty member. The Complaint must be
in writing and signed by the Complainant
setting forth briefly the nature of the alleged
disciplinary infraction and the nature of
the evidence. A copy of the Complaint will
also be sent to the Honor Council via the
Director of Student Services. The Accused
will receive notice that a complaint has
been received, and the nature of the alleged
disciplinary infraction.
All allegations that a student has violated
Carey Business School policies or campus
regulations, and that do not involve
allegations of sexual misconduct, relationship
violence or stalking, are intended to be
resolved as expeditiously as possible. In
lieu of proceeding to a formal hearing, the
student and the school in conjunction with
the Honor Council Chair may arrive at a
mutually acceptable agreement concerning
disposition of the charges, subject to the
approval of the Vice Dean for Education or
designee. If a mutually acceptable agreement
is not reached and the school is on break or
summer session, the hearing may be delayed
until the start of the next term.
Complaints of discrimination and

b. Subject to the exceptions noted below

for complaints of sexual misconduct,
relationship violence and stalking, upon
receipt of a Complaint to be heard by the
Honor Council, the Chair shall select an
Investigative Committee comprising one
student Council member and one faculty
Council member within two academic days
or a time frame within reason, or request an
Administrative Review by the Director of
Student Services. The role of the Investigative
Committee or Administrative Review is
that of fact finding and recommending
further action as necessary. The Investigative
Committee or Administrative Review shall
submit its written report within seven
academic days or a time frame within
reason. If the Chair or any member of the
Investigative Committee suspects a Violation
has occurred, and a mutually acceptable
agreement concerning disposition of the
charges, subject to the approval of the dean
or his/her designee has not been determined,
the Complaint is assigned as a Case
(hereinafter Case) for further action.
In case of an investigation of a sexual
misconduct, relationship violence or stalking
complaint, such will be conducted by OIE
and generally consists of two main phases:
(a) fact-gathering to enable assessment of the
complaint; and (b) the issuance of factual
findings and a recommendation. The first
phase involves extensive interviews by the
Director-Title IX Coordinator or a designee
with the complainant, respondent, witnesses
and other relevant parties, in addition
to gathering relevant documentation, if
any. After this phase of the investigation,
the Director-Title IX Coordinator or a
designee conducts a thorough review of
the facts and issues the factual findings and
a recommendation for resolution of the
complaint to the Vice Dean for Education
or designee. If a hearing is involved,
then Hearing Panel members will also
receive a copy of the factual findings and
recommendation.
For complaints of sexual assault, relationship
violence, and stalking regardless of whether
the complainant or respondent is a
student, or faculty or staff member, and for
complaints of sexual misconduct in which
the complainant or respondent is a student,
the first phase of the investigation discussed
30
above generally takes up to twenty (20) days

from the date of filing the complaint, and the
second phase of the investigation discussed
above generally takes up to thirty (30) days
from the date of filing the complaint. In
these cases, the School process to determine
whether a violation has occurred and to
determine appropriate sanctions and remedies
will generally be completed within sixty (60)
days from the date of filing the complaint,
with any appeals resolved reasonably soon
thereafter. While every effort is made to
adhere to these general time frames, these
may vary depending on the complexity of the
investigation, the ability to obtain necessary
evidence, the severity and extent of the
alleged prohibited conduct and other factors.
In addition, the University may delay its
investigation during the evidence-gathering
phase of a law enforcement investigation of
the same underlying incident.
Mediation and other informal mechanisms
may not be used to resolve complaints of
sexual violence, sexual assault, relationship
violence or stalking.
c. If the Investigative Committee or
Administrative Review and the Chair
conclude there is not sufficient evidence to
suspect a Violation, the Complainant and
the Accused shall be notified immediately in
writing and the Complaint will be dismissed.
d. If the Investigative Committee or the Chair
concludes there is sufficient evidence to
suspect a Violation, the Chair will notify the
Complainant and the Accused in writing and
outline the nature of the evidence.
e. For the Case, the Chair will form a Hearing
Panel comprising a fair representation of the
Chair or Vice Chair, at least three faculty
Council members and at least two additional
student Council members. The Chair will
notify the chosen Hearing Panel members
and will instruct them as to how to proceed.
f. The Chair shall instruct the Hearing Panel of
the confidentiality of such proceedings.
5. Hearings
An Honor Code Hearing is an academic process
based on the basic tenets of scholarshipfull
and willing disclosure, accuracy of statement,
and intellectual integrity in hypothesis, in
argument, and in conclusion. An Honor Code
Hearing is not a trial. Formal rules of evidence
commonly associated with a civil or criminal
trial may be counterproductive in an academic

investigation proceeding, and shall not be
applied. NOTE: Certain special procedures
apply in cases of sexual misconduct, relationship
violence and stalking that are noted below.
a. To constitute a valid disciplinary hearing, the
Hearing Panel must contain a quorum of at
least three faculty members, the presiding
Chair or Vice Chair, at least two additional
student members, and the Director of
Student Services, or designee, all of whom
are present during the entire hearing. Should
exceptional circumstances arise, requiring
the seating of additional Hearing Panels
simultaneously, the make-up of the Hearing
Panel may change but will always include
students, faculty and a representative from
Student Services.
b. The Chair will prepare the Case for
presentation to the Hearing Panel and invite
all requested witnesses to attend the hearing.
Where the Accused requests that witnesses be
summoned on his or her behalf, the student
must furnish the Chair with the names of the
witnesses in sufficient time for the Chair to
request the presence of such witnesses. It is
within the Hearing Panels discretion to limit
the number of witnesses appearing at the
hearing to a reasonable number.
c. The Chair shall administer the proceedings
and conduct of the hearing.
d. At the commencement of the hearing, the
Chair shall read the charge(s) in the presence
of the Accused and the Hearing Panel,
and ask the Accused for a plea of violation
or no violation.
e. The hearing shall not be governed by
formal rules of evidence. Statements or
documents that are considered inadmissible
evidence in a judicial proceeding may be
admitted as evidence.
f. The Chair will maintain order during
witness questioning and cross-examination.
The Chair has the right to object to
questions that are irrelevant or considered
asked and answered.
g. Hearing Panel deliberations will begin
in closed session immediately after the
conclusion of the hearing. The Hearing Panel
will agree on a verdict and recommended
sanction, if applicable.
h. The Accused is presumed innocent until

proven in violation by a preponderance
of the evidence.
i. Each Hearing Panel member has one vote.
A majority vote of the Hearing Panel shall
constitute a valid decision. The Chair only
casts a vote in the case of a tie vote among the
Hearing Panel members.
j. A formal record of all official
hearings shall be made.
k. The Chair shall, as soon after the hearing
as possible, prepare minutes of the
hearing including:
i. Date, place and time of the hearing,
ii. The names of all persons present
at the hearing,
iii. A short statement of the charge
against the Student,
iv. Confirmation that the Student was
notified of the allegations and given an
opportunity to respond,
v. A summary of the findings of
fact and conclusions made by
the Hearing Panel,
vi. A statement of the decision of the
Hearing Panel,
vii. The sanction recommended by the
Hearing Panel, if applicable
l. The Chair shall promptly inform the Vice
Dean for Education of the Hearing Panels
verdict and recommended sanction.
m. The Vice Dean for Education shall inform
the Accused, and if applicable the responsible
faculty member, of the decision in writing
and all appropriate notations will be included
in the Accused students record. This includes
final grades and transcript notations.
The Vice Dean for Education shall inform
the Accused, and if applicable the responsible
faculty member, of the decision in writing and
all appropriate notations will be included in the
Accused students record. This includes final
grades and transcript notations.
The University will, upon written request,
disclose to the alleged victim of any crime of
violence or a non-forcible sex offense, the final
results of any disciplinary proceeding conducted
by the University. If the University determines
that the respondent committed a crime of
violence or non-forcible sex offense, it may
disclose the final results of its disciplinary process
carey.jhu.edu 31
to anyone, so long as it does not disclose the

name of any other student.
6. Procedural Rights
a. The Accused is presumed innocent until
found in violation according to these Student
Disciplinary Rules.
b. The Accused has the right to be informed in
writing of the charges against him or her and
the identity of the Complainant.
c. The Accused will receive a copy of the
Investigative Councils written report prior
to the hearing.
d. The Accused has the right to have the Chair
request the presence of a reasonable number
of witnesses on his or her behalf. A witness
failure to comply with the Hearing Panels
request for attendance to provide testimony
during the hearing may constitute a violation
of the Carey Business School Honor Code.
e. All witnesses must be available for testimony
throughout the course of the hearing.
f. The Accused may consult with an adviser
of his or her own choosing to assist in the
preparation of the Accused defense. Members
of the Council or any Dean shall not be
eligible to serve as an adviser to the Accused
under this section. The adviser shall not be
present during the hearing.
g. Notwithstanding section f. above, the
Accused has the right to ask the Chair
to appoint a Council member to serve as
pre-hearing counsel to the Accused solely on
issues related to the hearing rules and process.
h. The Accused is invited, but not obligated,
to submit to the Chair his or her written
statement regarding the charges, documents,
or any other information relevant to the case,
no later than two academic days prior to
the hearing date.
i. The Accused has the right, but not the
obligation, to testify at the hearing. The
Accuseds decision not to testify will not
presume guilt upon the Accused.
For complaints of sexual assault, relationship
complaints of sexual misconduct in which
the complainant or respondent is a student,
the complainant and the respondent are
afforded equal procedural rights (including
32
the above rights) during the investigation

and any hearing that may follow,
including the following.
The complainant and respondent have
an equal opportunity to present relevant
witnesses and evidence during the
investigation and hearing.
If a hearing if held, the complainant and
the respondent will be afforded similar and
timely access to any information used in
connection with that hearing, consistent
with the Universitys obligations under
FERPA (Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act) and other laws protecting
privileged and confidential information.
The complainant and respondent are
entitled to the equal opportunity to be
accompanied to any related meeting or
proceeding by an advisor of their choice.
The advisor may counsel and provide
support to the party during a meeting or
proceeding, but may not participate or
speak on the partys behalf. The advisor
may make written submission on the
partys behalf.
Right to appeal noted below shall be
available equally to the complainant
and respondent.
Special Procedures
Notwithstanding the School procedures, for
complaints of sexual assault, relationship
complaints of sexual misconduct in which the
complainant or respondent is a student, the
following must be adhered to and supersede
any general Carey procedures:
Testimony. School shall make arrangements
so that the complainant and the
respondent do not have to be present in
the same room at the same time.
Questioning. If one party wishes to
ask questions of the other party and of
witnesses, questions must be submitted
to the Hearing Panel in written format.
The Hearing Panel may, in its sole
discretion, revise or not ask any or all
submitted questions.
Information Regarding Romantic or Sexual
History. No decision maker will consider
the romantic or sexual history of either the
respondent or the complainant in cases

involving allegations of sexual misconduct,
except for testimony offered by the
respondent or the complainant about
the parties shared sexual history. If such
information is offered, the other party has
the right to respond. Evidence of a prior
consensual dating or sexual relationship
between the parties by itself does not
imply consent or preclude a finding of
sexual misconduct.
Students on Board. Students on the
Hearing Panel will be replaced by
University employees or faculty for
cases involving sexual violence or
relationship violence.
7. Appeals
a. A decision or sanction of the Hearing
Panel may be appealed only for the
following reasons:
i. Any evidence of a material nature and/
or witness unavailable at the time of
the original hearing and now available
which might have affected the Hearing
Panels decision at that time.
ii. Any procedural irregularity in
the hearing that was material and
prejudicial to the decision.
b. Such appeals must be presented in writing
directly to the Dean of the School within
fifteen days. Decisions at this level are final.
8. Possible Sanctions
If the violation involves a course, the course
instructor is not to impose any sanction,
including a grade adjustment, pending
consideration of the Case by the Honor Council.
The instructor may propose a resolution to the
Council; however, imposing sanctions is the
responsibility of the Honor Council. This reflects
the intent of having sanctions be consistent over
time and across the entire student body.
a. The Hearing Panels recommendation may
include, but is not limited to, any one or
more of the following disciplinary sanctions:
i. Warning Notice to the Student,
orally or in writing, that continuation
or repetition of the conduct found to
be wrongful, or participation in similar
conduct, within a period of time stated
in the warning, shall be a cause for
disciplinary action
ii.
Censure Written reprimand for

violation of a specified regulation,
including the possibility of a more
severe disciplinary sanction in the event
of future violations within a period of
time stated in the reprimand.
iii. Academic Grade adjustment,
including failure, on any work or
course. This may include or may not
include permanent student record
notation. If the grade adjustment
results in an F grade, F due to
Academic Dishonesty will be noted on
the official Carey transcript.
iv. Disciplinary Probation Exclusion
from participation in privileges or
extracurricular activities as set forth in
the notice of disciplinary probation for
a specified period of time. Notification
that a more severe disciplinary sanction
may be imposed if the student commits
a second disciplinary offense while on
disciplinary probation.
v. Monetary Fines For any Offenses as
determined by the Council.
vi. Suspension Exclusion from classes
and other privileges or extracurricular
activities as set forth in the notice
of suspension for a definite period
of time. Suspension for Academic
Dishonesty will be noted on the
official Carey transcript.
vii. Dismissal Permanent termination
of a students status. Dismissal for
Academic Dishonesty will be noted on
the official Carey transcript.
b. For students found in violation of a
second offense, sanction options i, ii, or iii
are not available.
c. A Student who has been suspended or
dismissed, and who is subsequently found to
have not committed a disciplinary infraction
shall be allowed full opportunity to make
up whatever course work was missed due to
the suspension or dismissal and all transcript
notes will be removed.
9. Record Keeping:
The Chair shall maintain all records and files
of all disciplinary Cases and proceedings in a
confidential manner. All such records will be
secured in the Director of Student Services
office until such required retention time
expires, as recommended by Legal Counsel of
carey.jhu.edu 33
the University. A list of all Honor Code cases,

type of violation and outcomes without names
will be provided to the faculty annually for the
specific academic year.
10. Amendments to Student Disciplinary Rules:
a. These Policies and Procedures represent the
founding principles of the Schools Honor
Council. In such cases where events within
the Councils jurisdiction are not represented
under the auspices of this document, the
Council can enact appropriate changes with a

three-fourths Council membership vote. Any
and all changes are subject to the approval of
the Vice Dean for Education and subsequent
faculty vote at the next faculty meeting.
b. This Honor Code in its entirety will be
evaluated again two years from the date of its
most recent faculty adoption.

Inclement Weather Policy

In order to maintain the academic integrity
of our programs, it is important that any class
session that is missed due to weather, instructor
illness or other emergency is made up, and that
any missed material is covered. However, faculty
members have considerable latitude over how the
class sessions will be made up and have several
options from which to choose. They may:
Extend each class period so as to make up the
total time missed.
Plan and schedule an Adobe Connect/
Blackboard online session.
Re-schedule the class period to a designated
make-up day. Designated make-up days
are scheduled at the end of each 8-week
term or semester.
Whenever a class session is cancelled,

each faculty member may choose the most
appropriate make-up alternative for that
particular class. The faculty member must
notify the students in the class and the Office of
Education about which option will be used to
make up the class period.
This policy is designed to cover our evening
programs and those situations when a single class
day has been cancelled. Weather emergencies
or other events that result in multiple- day
cancellations will be handled on a case by
case basis. Please call the University Weather
Emergency Line at 410-516-7781 or 1-800548-9004 or visit jhu.edu/alert.

carey.jhu.edu
immigration regulations and related matters. We

issue documents required for students to obtain
the visa, and help them to maintain their status
once they have arrived. We also assist with travel,
35
employment authorizations, change of status,

and cross-cultural awareness as well as financial
concerns, health matters, housing, and other
issues that may arise during a students stay.
The Office of International Services at

F-1 Employment
Employment for students in F-1 status is
limited. On-campus employment (at any
campus of the Johns Hopkins University) is
allowed immediately upon arrival in the U.S.
Any employment off-campus must wait until the
student has completed at least one year in F-1

status, either at Carey or another school.
The most common form of off-campus
employment is Curricular Practical Training
(CPT). Carey students must complete at least
one semester at Carey before they will be
approved for CPT (this can overlap with the one
year in F-1 status for students coming directly
to Carey from outside the U.S.) Students may
request CPT authorization for paid internships
approved by Career Services. Only part-time
CPT (up to 20 hours per week) will be approved
during the fall and spring semesters, while classes
are in session. Full-time CPT may be approved
during the summer or winter breaks, or during
the students final semester before completion
of their program of study. CPT is required for

paid positions and highly recommended for
unpaid positions.
Optional Practical Training (OPT) is
one year of work authorization available to
F-1 students before or after completion of
their program of study. Most students prefer
to use CPT before graduation and OPT
after graduation.
For more information on F-1 employment,
please visit the OIS website under the Student
Services tab at the Carey Business School portal,
or contact them by email at carey.intl@jhu.edu
or phone at 667-208-7001.
ISIS (Integrated Student Information System)

The Integrated Student Information System
(ISIS) is Johns Hopkins university-wide,
web-based student information system.
Applicants to the Carey Business School can
apply online and receive regular application
status communications. Current students can

use any web-browser to get 24/7 access to
information about financial aid, class schedule,
grades, and billing. Access the ISIS system at
isis.jhu.edu/sswf.
J-Card
The J-CARD is the official identification and
access card for students, faculty, and staff of
the Homewood divisions of the Johns Hopkins
University, including the Johns Hopkins
Carey Business School. For more information,

please contact Campus Operations at
carey.Jcard@jhu.edu.
Leave of Absence
Leave of Absence (LOA) is a period of time
that a student is expected to be away from his/
her enrollment in classes at the Johns Hopkins
Carey Business School while maintaining an
active status. Leaves should be timed, whenever
possible, to come at the end of a term, preferably
at the end of a full academic year. Students
may request a Leave of Absence for up to one
calendar year. In rare instances, a Leave of
Absence of up to 2 years may be granted.
On the recommendation of the adviser,
school administrator or request by the student,
a LOA may be granted to students in good
academic standing. Leaves are granted when
carey.jhu.edu
the student will not be actively pursuing an

academic course of study in a term (fall, spring
or summer) to fulfill the degree requirements.
Students on leave are not enrolled or
registered students for the period of the leave.
If the student does not return to the academic
program after the designated leave, his or her
student record is made inactive. In order to
return to academic work at a later time, the
student must formally reapply for admission
through the Office of Admissions. The Johns
Hopkins Carey Business School reserves the
right to place a student on a Leave of Absence
if circumstances require it. In such cases, the
37
return from the LOA may be contingent upon

academic, medical, or psychological evidence
that the student is ready to return to study.
Please see Involuntary Leave of Absence and
Condition of Enrollment (COE) Policy in the
University and Carey Business School Policy
section of this handbook.

Hopkins University must be paid in full in order

Note: Financial Aid recipients and students using

VA benefits are advised to register for all their
classes for the semester (both terms) prior to the
beginning of the semester. For example, please register for both Fall I and Fall II classes prior to the
beginning of the fall semester.
Waitlists
Students attempting to register for a course that
is full (is at its enrollment limit), may be placed
on the waitlist by going to isis.jhu.edu/sswf.
Please note that students may be placed on
the waitlist for only one section of a particular
course. Students will be contacted via their JHU
email address only if an opening occurs prior to
the first class meeting of the course. Waitlisting
for a course is not an official registration;
therefore no payment is required until a seat in
the class is confirmed. Students may not attend
classes for sections in which they are waitlisted.
Adding a Course
Students who have already registered may add
a new course, provided that the course has not
met for the first time and is not closed. Students
may not add courses after the first class meeting.
Students may add courses by using one of the
registration options mentioned above.
Payment options for adding a course
are the same as for initial registration. (Johns
Hopkins employees must submit a tuition
remission application, to Student Accounts, for
each added course.)
Prior to the second class meeting, when
dropping one course and adding another,
100 percent of the tuition from the dropped
course may be applied to the tuition of the
added course. After the second class meeting
the appropriate refund may be applied (see
refund schedule).
Dropping a Course
Students may drop a course without financial
penalty up to the date of the first class by going
to isis.jhu.edu/sswf. Once classes begin,
students who drop a course receive a pro-rated
tuition refund. Tuition refunds are calculated
from the date of receipt of the add/drop form

in the Office of the Registrar (see refund
schedule). Students dropping a course after the
first class meeting should notify the instructor of
their decision.
Note: Financial aid recipients will have their aid
award adjusted according to credits registered.
Students dropping to less than half-time status may
have their aid canceled and will be responsible
for any debit balance created. Students using VA
benefits should contact the VA Certifying Official
in the Registrars Office when adding or dropping
a course.
Withdrawing from a Course
To withdraw from a course, students must
submit an official add/drop form. Students
may not withdraw from courses using ISIS.
Notice to the instructor of intent to withdraw
is not sufficient, nor are telephone withdrawals
accepted. The last date to withdraw from
a class without academic penalty (without
receiving the grade of F) is listed in the course
Withdrawal Schedule.
Students who withdraw after the deadline
or stop attending class at any time without
properly submitting an official add/drop form
receive an F (Failure) for the course. Tuition
refunds are calculated from the date of receipt

of the add/drop form in the Office of the
Registrar. International students on an F-1 visa
are advised to contact International Services
at 410-234-9280 before withdrawing from or
dropping a course.
Note: Federal aid recipients who withdraw
from all course work in a semester may have aid
returned to the federal government according to
federal Return of Title IV funds regulations, a
copy of which can be obtained from the Office
of Financial Aid. Aid recipients who withdraw
from some courses in the semester but not all their
courses may have their aid awards adjusted to the
reduced cost of attendance. Students who drop to
less than half-time prior to beginning the class
may have their federal aid canceled, even if some
portions have already been refunded to them for
living expenses. Students will receive a bill from
the school for the balance due. Withdrawing
from classes may also impact future aid eligibility. Financial Aid recipients are advised to consult
with both their academic adviser and the financial aid staff prior to withdrawing from classes.
Students using VA benefits should contact the VA
Certifying Official in the Registrars Office when
withdrawing from a course.

for the course because of some justifiable delay
in the students completion of specific course
work. A final grade is submitted to the Office of
the Registrar by the instructor after grading the
students completed work, provided it is done
within the agreed time frame, as specified in the
carey.jhu.edu
contract between the instructor and the student.

Both the instructor and the student complete the
contract and submit it to the Registrars office
within 5 business days of the last scheduled

completed within the agreed time frame and no
grade is reported within four weeks after the end
of the semester, a grade of F replaces the I on

Independent Study Requests

Matriculated students who wish to study a topic
or area not represented in the curriculum may
complete an independent study request form.
Students may only complete an independent
project on a topic that does not duplicate
either a course offered at Carey, or coursework
transferred from another college or university.
Students must request guidelines and
proposal forms from their academic adviser and
may not register for the independent study until
their proposals are approved in writing by their
academic adviser, faculty sponsor, and academic
program director. Students may not take more
than one independent study.
Interdivisional Registration
During the fall and spring terms, degree-seeking
graduate students at the Carey Business School
may register for courses in another school at
Johns Hopkins by submitting a Carey Business
School registration form. Students pay the percredit rate of the school offering the course.
Conversely, students from other divisions
in the university (except the Schools of Arts and
Sciences, and Engineering) may request to enroll
in courses offered by the Carey Business School
by submitting their registration request to their
registrar for processing. Students in full-time
42
Arts and Sciences and Engineering programs

should use the Supplemental Registration Form,
available from the Homewood Office of the
Registrar, which requires permission of their
academic adviser and the appropriate school
program director or adviser. This form needs
to be submitted to their own schools registrar.
Note that Carey Business School students have
priority in registering for Carey Business School
courses. All interdivisional students must abide
by these policies, procedures, and deadlines. All
published prerequisites for the course must be
met prior to enrollment.
During the summer session, students do not
follow the interdivisional registration procedures
noted above. Students from other Johns
Hopkins divisions in full-time programs that
are not in session who want to enroll in Carey
Business School summer courses have to be
admitted as a Carey non-degree seeking student.
Those students should follow the registration
procedures outlined in the Registration section.
For more information, contact the Office of
the Registrar at carey.registration@jhu.edu.
Students in full-time academic programs of the
Carey Business School who would like to take
classes at other Johns Hopkins divisions during
the summer should contact the Registrars
Office of the other division to confirm
registration requirements. Students will be
responsible for the tuition and fees for summer
interdivisional courses.
Note: Financial Aid recipients and students using
VA benefits should inform the Office of Financial
Aid of any interdivisional registration.
Refunds
Students who officially withdraw during an
academic term will receive tuition refunds based
on the refund schedule found in the Appendix
at the end of this catalog. Refunds apply only to
the tuition portion of a students charges and are
calculated from the date that the school receives
an official add/drop form.
Federal aid recipients who withdraw from
all course work may have aid returned to the
federal government according to federal Return
of Title IV funds regulations. Those partially
withdrawing may have their aid awards adjusted
to the reduced cost of attendance. Students who
drop to less than half-time prior to commencing
the courses that require half-time attendance
will have their federal aid canceled, even if some

portions have already been refunded to them for
living expenses. Students receive a bill from the
school for any remaining balance due.
If a course is canceled by the school, the
tuition is refunded in full. All other refunds
approved in the Office of the Registrar will be in

accordance with the refund schedule. A refund
may take four to six weeks to process.

Student Assistance Program (JHSAP)

Being a student can sometimes be difficult.
Balancing the demands of school, family, and
work can be overwhelming at times. Managing
even small life events can be more challenging
when our time and energy is heavily committed.
As a result, students frequently experience
significant amounts of stress during their
professional education. Extra support and coping
skills can be helpful in these situations.
Business School are committed to assisting
in these challenging times. The Johns Hopkins
Student Assistance Program (JHSAP) jhsap.
org provides support to students dealing
with pressures and problems they encounter
during their academic careers. Services are free
and confidential.
JHSAP is a life management tool that can
help students identify stressors and manage
them in a healthy way before more significant
problems develop. Some common concerns are:
Marriage and family
Depression
Interpersonal relationships
Life transitions
School and work troubles
Adapting to a new environment
Stress and anxiety
Eating disorders
Academic performance
Grief and mourning
Getting help is easy, convenient, and
confidential. Just call the number listed below.
Crisis counseling is always available to ensure
that students can get the assistance they need
when they need it. In most cases, JHSAP will
schedule an appointment for the student to
come in and speak with a JHSAP counselor. Our
goal is to get to know the student, understand
whats going on, and to talk about how the
46
student can move forward in a healthy way. To

do this, JHSAP offers the following services:

All counseling sessions, except as required by law,

to verbally discuss participation in the program,
or signs a release of information requesting the
program to share information with another
party. JHSAP carefully follows State and Federal
guidelines pertaining to confidentiality whereby
if we become aware of harm to self or others, a
duty to warn and/or protect may be applicable.

time a student contacts the program, a counselor
will listen to and assess concerns and will work
with the student to develop a plan to address the
concerns. If longer-term assistance is appropriate,
the student may be referred outside of the
program for additional support; this can be
through the students health plan or community
resources. In these circumstances, there may
be fees associated with the other services and
resources to which the student is referred.

Nondiscrimination Policy
Johns Hopkins University is committed to
recruiting, supporting, and fostering a diverse
community of outstanding faculty, staff, and
students. As such, Johns Hopkins does not
discriminate on the basis of gender, marital
status, pregnancy, race, color, ethnicity,
national origin, age, disability, religion, sexual
orientation, gender identity or expression,
veteran status, or other legally protected
characteristic in any student program or activity
administered by the university or with regard to
admission or employment. Defense Department
discrimination in ROTC programs on the
basis of sexual orientation conflicts with this
university policy. The university continues its
ROTC program, but encourages a change in the
Defense Department Policy.
Questions regarding access to programs
following Title VI, Title IX, and Section 504
should be referred to the Office of Institutional
Equity, Garland Hall, Suite 130, Homewood
campus, 410-516-8075/410-516-6225 (TTY).
Photography and Film Rights

Policy
The Johns Hopkins University reserves the right
from time to time to film or take photographs of
faculty, staff, and students engaged in teaching,
research, clinical practices, and other activities,
as well as casual and portrait photography
or film. These photographs and films will be
used in such publications as catalogs, posters,
advertisements, recruitment and development
materials, as well as on the universitys website,
for various videos, or for distribution to local,
state, or national media for promotional
purposes. Classes will be photographed only
with the permission of the faculty member.
Such photographs and filmincluding
digital mediawhich will be kept in the files
and archives of The Johns Hopkins University,
will remain available for use by the university
without time limitations or restrictions. Faculty,
students, and staff are made aware by virtue
of this policy that the university reserves the
right to alter photography and film for creative
carey.jhu.edu 57
purposes. Faculty, students, and staff who do not

want their photographs used in the manner(s)
described in this policy statement should
contact the Office of Communications and
Public Affairs.
Faculty and students are advised that
persons in public places are deemed by law to
have no expectation of privacy and are subject to
being photographed by third parties. The Johns
Hopkins University has no control over the use
of photographs or film taken by third parties,
including without limitation the news media
covering university activities.
Policy on Alcohol and Drug Abuse

and Drug-Free Environment
Johns Hopkins University recognizes that
alcoholism and other drug addictions are
illnesses that are not easily resolved by personal
effort and may require professional assistance
and treatment. Faculty, staff, and students with
alcohol or other drug problems are encouraged
to take advantage of the diagnostic, referral,
counseling, and preventive services available
throughout the University. Procedures have
been developed to assure confidentiality of
participation, program files, and medical records
generated in the course of these services.
Substance or alcohol abuse does not
excuse faculty, staff, or students from
fulfilling their employment or academic
responsibilities. Individuals whose work or
academic performance is impaired as the
result of the use or abuse of alcohol or other
drugs may be required to participate in an
appropriate diagnostic evaluation and treatment
plan. Further, use of alcohol or other drugs
in situations off campus or removed from
University activities that in any way impairs
work performance is treated as misconduct on
campus. Students are prohibited from engaging
in the unlawful possession, use, or distribution
of alcohol or other drugs on University property
or as a part of University activities.
It is the policy of Johns Hopkins University
that the unlawful manufacture, distribution,
dispensation, possession, or use of controlled
substances is prohibited on the University
property or as a part of University activities.
Individuals who possess, use, manufacture,
or illegally distribute drugs or controlled
dangerous substances are subject to University
disciplinary action, as well as possible referral
58
for criminal prosecution. Such disciplinary

action of faculty and staff may, in accordance
with the University policy on alcohol abuse and
maintenance of a drug-free workplace, range
from a minimum of a three-day suspension
without pay to termination of University
employment. Disciplinary action against a
student may include expulsion from School.
As a condition of employment, each faculty
and staff member and student employee must
agree to abide by the Universitys Drug-Free
Workplace Policy, and to notify the divisional
human resources director of any criminal
conviction related to drug activity in the
workplace (which includes any location where
one is in the performance of duties) within five
days after such conviction. If the individual
is supported by a federal grant or contract,
the University will notify the supporting
government agency within 10 days after the
notice is received.
Policy Addressing Campus

Violence
Policy
The Johns Hopkins University is committed to
providing a learning and working environment
that is safe to all members of the University
community. The University will not tolerate
violent acts on its campuses, at off-campus
locations administered by the University, or in
its programs. This policy of zero tolerance
extends not only to actual violent conduct
but also to verbal threats and intimidation,
whether by students, faculty, staff, or visitors to
the University.
The University urges individuals who have
experienced or witnessed incidents of violence to
report them to Campus Security. Alternatively,
students are urged to report concerns about
violence to the divisional office responsible for
student matters, faculty to the divisional office
responsible for faculty matters, and staff to the
applicable human resources offices.
The University will not permit retaliation
against anyone who, in good faith, brings a
complaint of campus violence or serves as a
witness in the investigation of a complaint of
campus violence.
Enforcement
Information regarding incidents of violent
conduct and threats of violence will be
investigated, and, if warranted, disciplinary

action will be taken in accordance with
applicable procedures. The University will
notify law enforcement authorities of criminal
conduct. In addition, the University may refer
individuals accused of violations of this policy
for an assessment of the likelihood that they
will carry out violent acts. If the continued
presence of an individual on campus threatens or
disrupts the conduct of University business, the
individual may be suspended from participation
in University programs or activities pending the
outcome of the assessment.
When advised of circumstances warranting
intervention, the University will render assistance
by contacting local or federal law enforcement
agencies as appropriate. Individual members of
the University community who receive threats of
bodily harm or who are the targets of harassing
or stalking behaviors are urged to contact
Campus Security and to avail themselves of the
services offered by student counseling offices and
the Faculty and Staff Assistance Program.
Every effort will be made to respect the
privacy of all individuals involved in the matter.
However, the necessity to investigate the
matter and to cooperate with law enforcement
authorities may require the disclosure of
otherwise confidential information.
Individuals accused of engaging in incidents
of campus violence may seek legal counsel
at their own expense. Individuals and their
attorneys are reminded that attorneys do not
participate in any internal University hearing.
Campus vendors are reminded that their
employees who conduct business on University
premises must conform their conduct to the
requirements of this policy. The University
reserves the right to remove from campus
vendor employees who engage in acts prohibited
by this policy.
Please follow this link to a list of
important phone numbers and contacts if you
witness or are the victim of violence or the
threat of violence.
Policy Against
Sexual Harassment
A.Preamble
to providing its staff, faculty and students
the opportunity to pursue excellence in their
academic and professional endeavors. This can
only exist when each member of our community
is assured an atmosphere of mutual respect, one

in which they are judged solely on criteria related
to academic or job performance. The university
is committed to providing such an environment,
free from all forms of harassment and
discrimination. Each member of the community
is responsible for fostering mutual respect, for
being familiar with this policy and for refraining
from conduct that violates this policy.
Sexual harassment, whether between
people of different sexes or the same sex,
is defined to include, but is not limited to,
unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual
favors, sexual violence and other behavior of a
sexual nature when:
1. submission to such conduct is made
implicitly or explicitly a term or condition of
an individuals employment or participation
in an educational program;
2. submission to or rejection of such conduct
by an individual is used as the basis for
personnel decisions or for academic
evaluation or advancement; or
3. such conduct has the purpose or effect of
unreasonably interfering with an individuals
work or academic performance or creates an
intimidating, hostile or offensive working or
B.Policy
The University will not tolerate sexual
harassment, a form of discrimination, a
violation of federal and state law and a serious
violation of university policy. In accordance
with its educational mission, the university
works to educate its community regarding
sexual harassment.
The University encourages reporting of
all perceived incidents of sexual harassment,
regardless of who the alleged offender may
be. Individuals who either believe they have
become the victim of sexual harassment or have
witnessed sexual harassment should discuss their
concerns with the universitys equity compliance
director. Complainants are assured that problems
of this nature will be treated in a confidential
manner, subject to the Universitys legal
obligation to respond appropriately to any and
all allegations of sexual harassment.
The University prohibits acts of reprisal
against anyone involved in lodging a complaint
of sexual harassment. Conversely, the university
carey.jhu.edu 59
considers filing intentionally false reports of

sexual harassment a violation of this policy.
The University will promptly respond
to all complaints of sexual harassment.
When necessary, the university will institute
disciplinary proceedings against the offending
individual, which may result in a range of
sanctions, up to and including termination of
university affiliation.
Complaints of sexual harassment may
be brought to Caroline Laguerre-Brown,
Vice Provost for Institutional Equity for
the university, or Allison J. Boyle, Title
IX Coordinator and Director for Equity
Compliance & Education, Wyman Park
Building, Suite 515, Homewood Campus,
410.516.8075, TTY: Dial 711.
Privacy Rights of Students

(FERPA)
Notice is hereby given that the Carey Business
School of the Johns Hopkins University complies
with the provisions of the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-380),
as amended, and regulations promulgated
there under. Eligible students, as defined in the
regulations, have the right: (1) to inspect and
review their education records, as defined in the
regulations; (2) to request the amendment of
their education records if they are inaccurate,
misleading, or otherwise in violation of the
students rights; (3) to consent to the disclosures
of personally identifiable information in their
education records except to the extent permitted
by law, regulation, or University policy; and (4)
to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of
Education if the University has failed to comply

The Universitys policy on Family Rights
and Privacy is published periodically in the Johns
Hopkins Gazette. The policy is available online
at pages.jh.edu/~news_info/policy/ferpa.
html or from the Office of the Registrar.
Retention of Records
The academic record includes all documents
related to an individual student such
as application for admission, letters of
recommendation, etc., as well as the record of
academic performance commonly referred to as
the transcript.
60
Retention of student records is dependent
on an individuals student status within the

Carey Business School.
Records for individuals who are
denied admission are retained for a
period of one year.
Records for students who are admitted to a
program but do not register for courses are
retained for a period of one year.
Records for students who are admitted to
a program, enroll, but do not complete the
program and do not graduate are retained for
six years after the last term of enrollment.
Records for students who are admitted to a
program and graduate from that program are
retained permanently.
Transcript records are archived permanently
in the Office of the Registrar. Documentation
pertaining to registration is held only for a
period of five years. If any questions should
arise regarding documentation of enrollment in
a course beyond that five-year period, it will be
the students responsibility to produce proper
documentation to support any claim for a
change to their record.
Sexual Violence, Sexual Assault,

Relationship Violence, and
Stalking Policy
1. Purpose of this Policy
to providing a safe educational and working
environment for its students, trainees, faculty,
staff and other members of the University
community. The University prohibits sexual
violence[1] and sexual assault, (which along
with sexual harassment, prohibited by the
Universitys Policy Against Sexual Harassment,
are forms of sexual misconduct), domestic
violence and dating violence (collectively,
relationship violence), and stalking. This
conduct is disruptive of the learning and
working environment of the Universitys
community members and will not be tolerated
by the University. The University is committed
to preventing sexual misconduct, relationship
violence, and stalking, as well as addressing
its effects on the University community. The
University has adopted this Policy in order to
inform students, trainees, faculty, and staff and
other members of the University community of
their rights and responsibilities in the event they

are or have knowledge of someone involved in
an incident of sexual misconduct, relationship
violence or stalking and of the services available
to victims of sexual misconduct, relationship
violence and stalking.
2. Scope of this Policy
This Policy applies to all members of the
University community, including, but not
limited to, students, trainees, faculty and staff,
and it covers prohibited conduct that: occurs
on campus or other University property;
occurs in connection with JHU programs or
activities, including academic, educational,
extracurricular, athletic or other programs and
activities; or otherwise affects the University
community. In certain instances, this Policy
applies to third parties (e.g., visitors, volunteers,
vendors, and contractors while on University
property, participating in a University sponsored
activity, or providing services to the University,
applicants for admission to or employment
with the University, and former affiliates of the
University). This Policy applies equally to all
regardless of an individuals sex, gender, sexual
orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
All academic and administrative units of the
University (including all schools, divisions,
campuses, departments and centers) must
comply with, and ensure that their policies and
procedures comply with, this Policy.
3. Definitions of Consent and
Incapacitation
Sexual activity of any kind requires consent,
which is defined as clear and voluntary
agreement between participants to engage in
the specific act.
Consent cannot be inferred from the
absence of a no. A clear yes, verbal or
otherwise is necessary.
Consent cannot be obtained from someone
who is unconscious, incapacitated (including
but not limited to mentally incapacitated),
asleep or physically helpless.
Consent cannot be obtained by pressure,
threat, coercion or force of any kind, whether
mental or physical. Consent means actually
agreeing to the act of intercourse or other
sexual activity, rather than merely submitting
as a result of force or threat of force.
Consent cannot be obtained from
an individual who is under the legal

age of consent.
Consent must be ongoing throughout
a sexual encounter and can be
revoked at any time.
Consent to some sexual acts does not
necessarily imply consent to others. Past
consent does not necessarily imply ongoing or
future consent.
Consent to engage in sexual activity with one
person does not imply consent to engage in
sexual activity with another.
As stated above, a person who is
incapacitated may not consent. A person is
incapacitated when he or she cannot make
a rational, reasonable decision because the
person lacks the ability to understand his or her
decision. A person can become incapacitated
as a result of disability, involuntary physical
constraint, sleep, or consumption of alcohol
or other drugs.
4. Definitions of Prohibited Conduct
Sexual Violence
Sexual violence encompasses sexual assault and is
a form of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment,
which is a form of discrimination, violates
federal and state law and the Universitys Policy
against Sexual Harassment.
Sexual violence includes physical sexual
acts that are performed against a persons will
or where a person cannot give consent. Physical
resistance need not occur to fulfill the definition
of sexual violence. Examples of sexual violence
include, but are not limited to:
Sexual intercourse or other sexual acts in the
absence of consent;
Rape (including date rape) or
attempted rape;
Touching, fondling, kissing, or making
any unwanted sexual contact with
another persons body;
Nonconsensual oral sex; and
Sexual assault (defined below), sexual battery,
or sexual coercion.
Sexual Assault
Sexual assault includes non-consensual sexual
intercourse and non-consensual sexual contact.
Non-consensual sexual intercourse is any act
of sexual intercourse with another individual
without consent. Sexual intercourse includes
carey.jhu.edu 61
vaginal or anal penetration, however slight, with

any body part or object, or oral penetration
involving mouth to genital contact. Nonconsensual sexual contact is any intentional
touching of the intimate parts of another person,
causing another to touch ones intimate parts,
or disrobing or exposure of another without
consent. Intimate parts may include genitalia,
groin, breast, or buttocks, or clothing covering
them, or any other body part that is touched in
a sexual manner. Sexual contact also includes
attempted sexual intercourse.
Dating Violence
Dating violence means violence committed by a
person who is or has been in a social relationship
of a romantic or intimate nature with the
victim. The existence of such a relationship
shall be determined based on a consideration
of the length of the relationship, the type of
relationship, and the frequency of interaction
between the persons involved in the relationship.
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence means abuse
occurring between:
current or former spouses or cohabitants;
persons who have a child in common; or
persons currently or formerly involved in a
dating relationship,
where abuse means any of the
following acts:
an act that causes serious bodily harm;
an act that places a person eligible for relief in
fear of imminent serious bodily harm;
assault in any degree;
rape or sexual offense or attempted rape or
sexual offense in any degree;
false imprisonment; or
stalking.
Stalking
Stalking means a malicious course of conduct
that includes approaching or pursuing another
where the person intends to place or knows
or reasonably should have known the conduct
would place another in reasonable fear:
of serious bodily injury;
of an assault in any degree;
of rape or sexual offense or attempted rape or
sexual offense in any degree;
of false imprisonment;
62
of death; or
that a third person likely will suffer any of the
acts listed above.
5. Reporting Sexual Misconduct,

Relationship Violence and Stalking
Members of the University community who
are the victims of or who have knowledge of
an incident of sexual misconduct, relationship
violence or stalking prohibited by this Policy
are urged to promptly report the incident to
the Universitys Office of Institutional Equitys
(OIE) Director-Title IX Coordinator (contact
information below) or another responsible
employee identified in the Universitys
Sexual Misconduct, Relationship Violence and
Stalking. The Universitys responsible employees
include academic administrators, supervisors,
department heads or chairs, directors, deans,
student affairs staff, faculty, human resources
personnel, campus security officers, student
resident advisors, and athletic coaches. Persons
who are the victims of sexual misconduct,
relationship violence or stalking may pursue
internal University disciplinary action against the
perpetrator in accordance with the Universitys
Sexual Misconduct, Relationship Violence
and Stalking by bringing a complaint to any
responsible employee. All responsible employees
must promptly refer complaints to:
Director-Title IX Coordinator
Allison J. Boyle, JD, MPH
Office of Institutional Equity
Wyman Park Building, Suite 515
3400 North Charles Street
Baltimore, MD 21218
Telephone: 410-516-8075
Facsimile: 410-516-5300
A victim of sexual violence, sexual assault,
relationship violence or stalking is encouraged
to immediately notify campus security. For
campus security contact information, please see
Appendix A at web.jhu.edu/administration/
jhuoie/equity_compliance/sexual_violence_
policy.html#A.
Important Note re Confidentiality:
As discussed in depth in the Universitys
Sexual Misconduct, Relationship Violence and
Stalking, responsible employees are required to
notify the Title IX coordinator whenever they

receive a report of discrimination, harassment,
sexual misconduct, relationship violence,
or stalking. If a student, trainee, faculty or
staff member desires to keep the details of
an incident of discrimination, harassment,
sexual misconduct, relationship violence or
stalking confidential, he or she should speak
with individuals who have a legal obligation
to keep communications confidential. When
seeking advice and support, persons who are
concerned about confidentiality should discuss
their concerns about confidentiality with the
person with whom they are speaking. Unless
there is an imminent threat to health or safety,
or other basis for disclosure pursuant to law,
confidentiality applies when persons seek
services from the list of confidential resources in
Appendix B at web.jhu.edu/administration/
jhuoie/equity_compliance/sexual_violence_
policy.html#b.
Student health centers operated by the
University have a professional practice of
maintaining confidentiality with respect to
patient communications; however, under
Maryland law medical providers are not afforded
the same legal protections with respect to
privileged communications as the counseling
and religious resources listed in Appendix B.
Individuals should be aware that information
shared with student health centers and the
counseling and religious resources listed in
Appendix B does not constitute a report or
complaint filed with the University, i.e., for
the purpose of instituting an investigation or
disciplinary proceedings.
6. Filing a Criminal Complaint with Law
Enforcement Authorities
Victims of sexual violence, sexual assault,
relationship violence and stalking will be
advised by campus security and/or the
Director-Title IX Coordinator of their option
to file criminal charges with local police of
the jurisdiction where the offense occurred.
Campus security and/or the Director-Title IX
Coordinator will provide assistance to a victim
wishing to reach law enforcement authorities.
Contact information for local law enforcement
authorities is available at Appendix A. Further
information on filing a criminal complaint
with law enforcement authorities is provided in
the Universitys Procedures on Discrimination,
Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Relationship
Violence and Stalking.
7. Counseling, Medical and Immigration

Resources
The University will provide counseling to
any member of the Hopkins community
who is a victim of a sexual misconduct,
relationship violence or stalking, and will
provide information about other campus and
community-based victim services. Counseling
may be obtained whether or not an individual
elects to file a complaint. Contact information
for campus-based counseling, medical and
immigration resources is available in Appendices
B and C and on the JHU Sexual Assault
Response and Prevention Website.
8. Medical Treatment and Preservation of
Evidence
Victims of sexual violence, sexual assault and
relationship violence are strongly encouraged
to seek immediate medical attention in order
to treat injuries, test for and treat sexually
transmitted diseases, test for pregnancy, and
access emergency contraception, if desired.
Additionally, rape treatment centers can perform
a rape evidence collection procedure and test
for date-rape drugs. A medical exam at a rape
treatment center is an important way for a
health provider to properly collect and preserve
evidence that may be necessary to establish
proof of criminal sexual violence, sexual assault,
or relationship violence, or in obtaining a civil
no-contact order or protection or peace order.
If possible, a victim should not shower,
bathe, wash, douche, brush hair, drink, eat,
or change clothes or bedding before going to
the hospital or seeking medical attention. If
the victim decides to change clothes, he or she
should not wash the clothes worn during the
assault and should bring them to the hospital
or medical facility. These steps are important
to help preserve evidence for possible use in
legal actions to prove a crime has occurred or
is occurring, or requests for a civil no-contact
order or protection or peace order. Because
evidence dissipates quickly, victims who wish to
preserve evidence are encouraged to seek medical
attention as soon as possible after the incident,
usually within 48 hours.
At the victims request, campus security will
arrange for transportation to the nearest hospital.
Victims of sexual violence and sexual assault
in Baltimore City will be taken to Baltimore
Citys designated rape treatment center: Mercy
Hospital, 345 St. Paul Place Baltimore, MD
21202, 410.332.9000. Mercy Hospital is
carey.jhu.edu 63
equipped with the State Police Sexual Assault

Evidence Collection Kit and has medical staff
trained to assist victims of sexual violence
and sexual assault with physical examination,
evidence collection, and assistance with pursuing
a complaint with the Baltimore City Police, if a
victim so desires. For additional medical centers
equipped with forensic services in the Baltimore
and Washington, DC metro areas, please see
Appendix D or visit the JHU Sexual Assault
Response and Prevention Website. Victims
in other cities should contact the closest local
hospital and inquire about the nearest hospital
equipped with medical forensic services. In
circumstances of sexual violence or sexual assault,
if victims do not opt for forensic evidence
collection, health care providers can still treat
injuries and take steps to address concerns of
pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease.
Victims of sexual violence, sexual
assault, relationship violence, and stalking
are encouraged to also preserve evidence by
saving text messages, instant messages, social
networking pages, other communications,
and keeping pictures, logs or other copies of
documents, if they have any, which would be
useful to University investigators, hearing boards
and law enforcement authorities.
Although the University strongly encourages
all members of its community to report
violations of this Policy to law enforcement
authorities, it is the victims choice whether or
not to make such a report and victims have
the right to decline involvement with law
enforcement authorities. The Universitys Title
IX Coordinator or Campus Security will assist
any victim with notifying local law enforcement
authorities if they so desire.
As time passes, evidence may dissipate or
become lost or unavailable, thereby making
investigation, disciplinary proceedings, possible
prosecution, or obtaining protective or peace
orders related to the incident more difficult.
If a victim chooses not to make a complaint
regarding an incident, he or she nevertheless
should consider speaking with campus security
or law enforcement authorities to preserve
evidence in the event that the victim changes her
or his mind at a later date.
9. Investigation and Resolution Procedures
The University may independently discipline
students, trainees, staff and faculty who have
committed an offense of sexual misconduct,
relationship violence or stalking whether or
64
not the victim is a member of the University

community and whether or not criminal charges
are pending. The Universitys Procedures on
Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Misconduct,
Relationship Violence and Stalking provide
detailed information on the availability of
interim accommodations, the investigation and
resolution of complaints of sexual misconduct,
relationship violence and stalking, including
the procedural rights afforded to the victim
and accused, confidentiality, notification rights,
and possible sanctions, or disciplinary or
protective measures.
10. Education and Training
Primary and Ongoing Prevention and
Awareness Programs
The University has education programs to
promote prevention and awareness of sexual
harassment, sexual violence and sexual assault
for students and employees. The University has
also made substantial progress toward developing
and will be implementing enhanced orientation
training for new students and employees, as well
as enhanced ongoing prevention and awareness
campaigns for students and employees that
address relationship violence and stalking in
addition to sexual harassment, sexual violence
and sexual assault. For information regarding
training programs, including online training,
contact the Office of Institutional Equity.
Bystander Intervention Training (BIT)
Programs
The Universitys education also includes safe and
positive options for bystander intervention that
may be carried out by an individual to prevent
harm or intervene when there is a risk of sexual
violence, sexual assault, relationship violence
and stalking against a person other than such
individual. BIT programs help students identify
situations of concern, and provide knowledge
and tools to encourage safe and successful
interventions. To schedule a BIT program for a
student group, please contact Alyse Campbell at
410.516.5133 or acampb39@jhu.edu.
[1] The term sexual violence as used in this
Policy includes sex offenses, which includes
forcible sex offenses and non-forcible sex
offenses. A forcible sex offense is any sexual
act directed against another person, forcibly
and/or against that persons will; or not forcibly
or against the persons will where the victim
is incapable of giving consent and includes

forcible rape, forcible sodomy, sexual assault with
an object, and forcible fondling. A non-forcible
sex offense means unlawful, nonforcible sexual
intercourse and includes incest and statutory
rape. 34 CFR Part 668, Subpart D, Appendix A.
Student Social Security Number

Protection and Use
Background
In 2003 Johns Hopkins University (JHU) issued
to its faculty and staff specific guidance for the
protection and use of the students social security
number (SSN). This policy statement clarifies
and extends that prior guidance. University-wide
implementation of this policy, which applies to
the entire JHU community, is guided by the
following objectives and needs:
1. Broaden awareness about the confidential,
protected nature of the student SSN.
2. Reduce reliance on the student SSN for
identification purposes.
3. Establish consistent University-wide and
divisional student SSN protection and use
policies and practices.
4. Increase student confidence surrounding
handling of their SSN.
JHU is committed to ensuring privacy and
proper handling of confidential information
it collects and maintains on faculty, staff and
students, including the SSN which is required
for state and federal government reporting
purposes. It is the policy of JHU to protect
the privacy of the student SSN and to place
appropriate limitations on its use throughout
admission, financial aid, billing and registration
processesboth within and outside of JHU
information systems. The collection, use and
dissemination of student SSNs or any part
thereof for other purposes is prohibited.
This policy outlines acceptable use of the
student SSN, limits use to business purposes
only, and establishes procedures to assure that
University employees and students are aware
of and comply with the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, the Maryland
Social Security Number Privacy Act and other
applicable laws and regulations.
JHU considers the student SSN or any
part thereof to be personally identifiable
information under the Family Educational

Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA).
No part of a student SSN may be publicly
displayed or released (e.g., via email
to multiple students, student rosters,
bulletin boards, etc.).
The student SSN may be collected as part
of the application process and required for
registration at JHU. The student SSN is also
generally required for certain government
reporting and as part of applying for financial
aid, billing and employment.
The risk of unauthorized disclosure of
the student SSN increases with each
additional electronic or paper copy of the
SSN. Divisional leadership is responsible
for ensuring that the number and scope of
physical and electronic repositories of SSN
are kept to the minimum necessary.
General Requirements
The following requirements apply to paper and
electronic records:
1. Authorization. Only individuals with a
need to know are authorized to access the
student SSN. These individuals are to receive
appropriate on-line privacy training and sign
a confidentiality statement prior to receiving
the student SSN.
2. Document Handling and Storage.
Documents containing the student SSN
are not to be distributed to or viewed by
unauthorized individuals. Such documents
are to be stored in secured cabinets and
locations. In high traffic areas, such
documents are not to be left on desks or
other visible areas.
3. Disposal. The student SSN stored in either
documentary or electronic formats is to be
destroyed (e.g., shredding papers, wiping
electronic files, etc.) prior to disposal.
4. Current and Future Records. JHU will insert
in all student records in the new information
systems (ISIS and HopkinsOne) new primary
identifiers. Until those numbers are available
it is acceptable to use the last four digits of
the student SSN as a secondary identifier.
5. Historical Records. The student SSN is
included in archived databases and in imaged
documents. Such historical records cannot
be altered. All records and files containing
carey.jhu.edu 65
student SSN data are to be considered

sensitive information and must be handled
and stored accordingly.
6. Acceptable Release to Third Parties. JHU
may release a student SSN to third parties
as allowed by law, when authorization is
granted by the individual student, when the
Office of the General Counsel has approved
the release (e.g. subpoenas) or when the
authorized third party is acting as JHUs
agent and when appropriate security is
guaranteed by the agreement (e.g., National
Student Loan Clearinghouse, financial
institutions providing student loans or other
financial services to students, and studentdesignated entities receiving a student
academic transcript).
Requirements for Electronic Data

SSN Data include any aggregation or
collection of JHU student SSN stored, processed
or transmitted in an electronic format. Examples
of these include: enterprise databases, small
databases such as MS Access, Web pages,
email, spreadsheets, and tables or lists in word
processing documents.
1. Student SSN Transmission by Email, Instant
Messaging, Etc. SSN Data may not be
transmitted (e.g., email, instant messaging)
to parties outside JHU without appropriate
security controls. Generally, such controls
include encryption and authentication of
recipients (e.g., password protection of files).
Great care is to be taken to ensure that emails
are sent only to intended recipients.
2. Student SSN Transmission by Fax. A
student SSN may not be faxed except as
required by law or as part of an essential
administrative process (e.g., financial
aid, tax reporting, and transcripts). In
such cases, reasonable and appropriate
security controls must be established and
maintained to protect confidentiality (e.g.,
verifying fax numbers; cover sheets; marking
documents as confidential; including
sender phone number).
3. Storage of Student SSN Data. JHU student
administration databases and datasets may
not store or otherwise maintain a student
SSN, except as required for government
reporting or other specific business purposes.
66
Carey Business School leadership is

responsible for:
a. maintaining an up-to-date inventory of
SSN databases and datasets
b. minimizing the use of SSN (including use
of substitutes such as partial SSN and the
Hopkins unique Identifier)
c. documenting security controls and
risk remediation
4. Administrative Research with SSN Data.
Electronic data maintained for institutional
research, enrollment planning, and University
planning are considered to be administrative
research data for the purposes of this policy.
Administrative research databases or datasets
may continue to store or otherwise maintain
student SSN so long as divisional leadership
is responsible for:
Hopkins unique Identifier)
risk remediation
5. Academic Research with SSN Data. Research
databases that include student SSN as a data
element must be disclosed by the investigator
to the appropriate institutional review board.
Researchers are responsible for:

Software Use Guidelines

Whether you buy software from an outside
vendor or from Information Technology at
Johns Hopkins (IT@JH), you acquire a license
to use it. You do not own it. You acquire the
license either from the company that owns the

copyrights, or from IT@JH, which has made
arrangements with the company to distribute a
set number of copies.
IT@JH makes software available to JHU
departments through various bulk purchases
and site license agreements. In most cases,
departments that purchase software from IT@
JH via bulk purchases and/or site license
agreements are able to place a copy of that
software on one machine that is owned by the
university. However, software agreements vary,
and patrons should adhere to the terms and
conditions specified by each individual license.
Restrictions on the use of software are far
from uniform. You should carefully examine
each piece of software and the accompanying
documentation. Unless it is explicitly permitted,

you do not have the right to make copies of
software for others, or receive and use copies of
software from others. The university reserves the
right to refuse to defend any faculty, student,
or staff member who engages in any alleged
infringement activity. In other words, you
are responsible for ensuring the appropriate
use of any software in your possession. As a
consequence of this policy, IT@JH employees
are forbidden to install software for which
ownership cannot be clearly demonstrated.
If you have any questions about the
distribution of a software product, contact IT@
JH, the software developer or publisher, or the
Office of the General Counsel at 410-516-8128.
IN ADDITION TO THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY POLICIES LISTED

PREVIOUSLY, ALL STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO ABIDE BY THE FOLLOWING
CAREY BUSINESS SCHOOL POLICES.
Involuntary Leave of Absence and
Condition of Enrollment (Coe)
Policy
For purpose of this policy, the term Assistant
Dean means the Assistant Dean for Education
of the Johns Hopkins Carey Business
School or designee.
1. Introduction
The University is committed to fostering a
learning environment that enables students to
thrive and participate fully in academic life.
There are, however, occasions when a students
health interferes with his or her ability to take
part in the academic community, and at such
times the School provides the opportunity
for the student to initiate a leave of absence.
For instance, a students mental or emotional
health, medical condition, or inappropriate
behavior or communication may necessitate
a leave of absence or placement of conditions
on continuing enrollment. The guidelines and
procedures described herein are not intended to
address such instances, for which long-standing
policy exists. Rather, these guidelines and
procedures shall apply in those extraordinary
circumstances when a student has not or cannot
voluntarily address the issues of concern.
carey.jhu.edu
2. Guidelines for Use

a. Involuntary Leave of Absence
In situations when a leave of absence is
indicated, the Assistant Dean or designee will
encourage the student to initiate a voluntary
leave of absence. If the student declines to
do so, the Assistant Dean or designee may
require an involuntary leave of absence.
This step will be taken when necessary to
protect the safety of the student or other
individuals or to preserve the integrity of the
Universitys learning environment. Such a
decision may be based on behavior and/or
communication that:
Harms or threatens harm to the health or
safety of the student or others;
Causes or threatens to cause significant
damage to the property or resources of
the University;
Evidences chronic and/or serious drug
or alcohol abuse;
Significantly disrupts the functioning of
the University community; and/or
Reflects disorganized or altered thinking
incompatible with successful participation
in the academic program.
b. Condition of Enrollment (COE)
When circumstances indicate that a leave
of absence is not appropriate, the Assistant
Dean or designee may nevertheless impose
certain conditions as a requirement of
67
continued enrollment. This step will be

taken only after consultation with those
responsible for oversight of the students
program of study.
3. Procedure
When the Assistant Dean or designee becomes
aware, by whatever means, of the potential
need for action, the following procedures
will be initiated:
a. The Assistant Dean or designee will
contact the student and describe the issues
of concern. If this discussion alleviates
all concerns, no further action is needed.
Alternatively, procedures outlined below may
also be initiated.
b. The Assistant Dean or designee may mandate
a mental health or physical evaluation of
the student. The Assistant Dean or designee
may also specify conditions under which
the student is allowed to remain at the
University. Such conditions will be developed
in consultation with others charged with
oversight of the students academic program
and the Director of the Student Assistance
Program. The Assistant Dean or designee will
provide written notice to the student when
such conditions are mandated.
c. If a leave of absence is indicated, and if the
student so agrees, procedures governing
voluntary leaves of absence shall apply.
d. When a leave of absence is indicated and
the student declines to accept a voluntary
leave, the Assistant Dean or designee will
discuss the implications of an involuntary
leave of absence. If the student continues
to decline, the Assistant Dean or designee
will initiate an involuntary leave of absence
after consultation with those charged with
oversight of the students academic program
and the Director of the Student Assistance
Program. In urgent situations, the Assistant
Dean or designee may initiate an involuntary
leave of absence immediately.
Under these circumstances, such consultation
will be undertaken promptly thereafter. When an
involuntary leave is imposed, the Assistant Dean
or designee will provide the student with written
notification to this effect. This notification will
outline the steps required for re-entry into the
academic program and also note other pertinent
information regarding the students status
while on leave.
68
4. Re-Entry
A student seeking re-entry to the curriculum
after a voluntary or involuntary leave as
described under this policy will undergo a
fitness for return evaluation by the Student
Assistance Program and/or the appropriate health
service (University or Occupational Health
Services). Upon re-entry, the Assistant Dean or
designee may impose conditions under which
the student will be allowed to remain at the
University (as described in Section III B). The
Assistant Dean or designee will provide written
notice to the student when such conditions
are instituted.
5. Confidentiality
All records related to student leaves of absence
and conditions placed on continuing enrollment
will be maintained in accordance with applicable
law and policy.
Program Continuity and

Completion
A student must be continuously enrolled in
the program. Any student not enrolling and
successfully completing courses at the Carey
Business School for a period of one year or
more must petition to restart their program. In
addition, a student must complete all program
requirements within six years of starting their
first course at the Carey Business School. Any
student not completing their program within six
years must petition for an extension.
Recording and non-class use of

Class Materials
Unless explicitly allowed by the instructor, course
materials, class discussions, and examinations
are created for and expected to be used by
class participants only. The recording and
rebroadcasting of such material, by any means,
is forbidden. Violations are subject to sanctions
under the Honor Code.
Statement of Diversity and

Inclusion
Johns Hopkins University is a community
committed to the values of diversity and
inclusion. At the Carey Business School, we
firmly believe that excellence is best promoted by
creating a community that demonstrates respect
for each other, embraces individual differences,
and provides opportunities for each individual

to maximize his or her potential. We actively
seek to ensure that many different opinions
and beliefs, communicated in a respectful
manner, are part of and enrich our professional,
educational, and personal experience. Every
member of our community will be responsible
for creating a welcoming environment for all.
Unaccompanied Children Policy
Carey students, Carey students may not bring

children, ages 017 years, to the Carey campuses
without adult supervision. Children may not
attend classes with a Carey student unless
pre-arranged by an instructor for curriculum
purposes. The Carey Business School is not
responsible for the welfare of unsupervised
children, and any child left unsupervised will
be asked to leave the campus with his/her
related Carey student.
In order to promote a strong learning

environment and the safety of the children of
Veterans Assistance
Johns Hopkins is approved by the Maryland
Higher Education Commission for training
veterans and their beneficiaries under provisions
of the various federal laws pertaining to veterans
educational benefits.
Information about veterans benefits and
enrollment procedures may be obtained from
the Department of Veterans Affairs at benefits.
va.gov/benefits.
Students eligible for veterans educational
benefits register and pay their University bills
in the same manner as non-veteran students.
Reimbursement is made by the Department of
Veterans Affairs. The amount of reimbursement
is determined by the veterans tuition costs and
benefit eligibility.
Initial Enrollment
1. The veteran applies for his or her VA
education benefits through ebenefits.
va.gov/ebenefits/homepage.
2. The veteran must apply and be admitted
to one of the programs of the Johns
Hopkins Carey Business School carey.jhu.
edu/admissions.
3. Once the VA education benefits application
is processed, a copy of the Certificate of
Eligibility (COE) must be provided to the
certifying official at Johns Hopkins Carey
Business School at the following address:
Office of the Registrar:
VA School Certifying Official
Baltimore, MD 21202
carey.jhu.edu
It may also be emailed to carey.

veteran@jhu.edu or faxed to 410-800-4096.
4. Once the COE is received, the certifying
official confirms acceptance and enrollment
for the JHU program. Using the VA-ONCE
system for payment disbursement,
enrollment data is provided for payment
according to the requirements of the
Department of Veteran Affairs. If you have
any questions regarding payment contact the
VA at 1-888-442-4551.
Note: Regular, semester-long courses; i.e., courses
meeting regularly for the entire length of the
semester, will be certified as one certification with
the Department of Veterans Affairs. Any course that
meets for a compressed period, for example, fall
1 term vs. the entire fall semester, is required by
the Department of Veterans Affairs to be certified
separately and generally has a different time
status assigned that could affect benefits. Contact
the School Certifying Official in the Office of
the Registrar at carey.veteran@jhu.edu with any
questions about these types of certifications.
Transfers
When transferring from another college or
university, the veteran must obtain a Request
for Change of Program or Place of Training
(VA Form 22-1995) from the Department
of Veterans Affairs by logging into the online
application as mentioned above. A copy of the
completed form must also be submitted to the
School Certifying Official.
Re-Enrollment
A student who received veterans benefits while
attending the University during the preceding
69
fall or spring semester and who plans to re-enroll

with no change of objective needs only to
advise the certifying official in the Office of the
Registrar when submitting registration materials
that re-certification under the provisions of the
original VA form 22-1990 is desired.
Students receiving veterans benefits must
pursue a program of courses that leads to the
exact objective (normally a degree or certificate)
indicated on the original VA application. Any
change in program or objective requires the
student to submit a Request for Change of
Program (VA Form 22-1995) to the VA.
Veterans are required immediately to
advise the certifying official in the Office of the
Registrar at 410-234-9250 or carey.veteran@
jhu.edu regarding any change in their program
or status that might affect the amount of their
monthly payment from the VA. Failure to do
so causes the Department of Veterans Affairs to
seek restitution from the veteran of a resulting
overpayment of benefits.

Analyzing Financial Statements and
Managing Financial Resources
(3 credits)
The interpretation of financial information and
the process of choosing between competing
investment opportunities (capital budgeting)
are fundamental facets of management. The
allocation of resources on the part of investors,
creditors, and internal managers hinges
crucially on the availability of reliable and
timely information about a firms financial
position, risk and profitability. Understanding
the basics of financial statement analysisand
its interpretationis, therefore, an important
aspect of the process of allocating resources
to a firm and to projects within a firm. Once
the firms financial position is understood, the

decision as to whether a new project should be
undertaken, possibly among a menu of
alternative available projects, defines the
process of capital budgeting. Contrary to
financial statement analysis, capital budgeting
is a forward-looking operation which requires
accurate estimates of the future revenues and
costs associated with competing projects,
estimates of the projects future cash flows,
and careful sensitivity analysis of these
estimates to changes in the initial assumptions.
The goal is, of course, to choose the best
investment opportunity among those that are
available. Doing so in an uncertain
environment requires care.

Business Negotiations In and Between
Cultures
(2 credits)
People negotiate every day with employers,
coworkers, bosses, spouses, merchants,
service providers, and others. Negotiation is
the art and science of securing agreements
between two or more parties, who are
interdependent and seeking to maximize their
outcomes. This course will provide the
executive with the basic knowledge and
carey.jhu.edu 127
applied skills to negotiate in a wide array of

settings. The first part of the course focuses on
the fundamentals of negotiation
understanding, preparing for, and executing
increasingly complex negotiations in any
culture. The second part of the course extends
these basic principles across cultures, focusing
on the challenges and opportunities faced by
negotiators working across national
boundaries. Students will develop negotiation
skills in a series of simulations and feedback
sessions. Together, the class will engage in a
variety of bargaining processes that span the
contexts of deal-making and dispute
resolution. Each simulation has been chosen to
highlight the central concepts that underlie
negotiation strategy. While a leader needs
analytical skills to develop optimal solutions to
problems, a broad array of negotiation skills is
needed to get these solutions accepted and
implemented.
BU.790.049
Advanced Financial Management
(2 credits)
Business executives are increasingly selective
on how they approach the allocation of firm
resources. While textbook finance dictates
that a project with a positive NPV should be
approved, in many cases, the organization has
a finite budget with competing business unit
project requests. In the short term, these
capital budgeting decisions will influence the
U.S. economys unemployment situation and in
the intermediate-long term they will affect firm
value. This course focuses on the practical
elements of allocating resources from two
diverse perspectives: corporate finance
executive, managers, investors, investment
bankers, and equity analysts. The first part
takes a long-term view in the value- creation
process and focus on the key value drivers that
affect corporate value. The second part of the
course will introduce short-term managing
focusing on Net Working Capital management
and the interrelationship with growth decisions
and the impact on valuation. This part also
addresses the issue of financing decisions and
the impact on valuation. In this context, the
course will present the difficulties imbedded in
each context of corporate management and
entrepreneurship management.

Capstone Project Proposals: Phase I
(2 credits)
This course examines business and corporate
strategies and requires students to assume
the role of a general manager. General
Managers have to cope with tremendous
complexity, uncertainty, and inadequate
information. The focus throughout is on
strategic managementthe process of
choosing and defining purposes and
objectives, formulating and implementing a
viable strategy, and monitoring strategic
performance. The course is predicated on the
thesis that the role of the policy course in the
business school curriculum is to develop an
ability to see the enterprise as a whole and to
understand how and why the various functions
of the business are interdependent and need
to be coordinated. Hence, the thrust of the
course is the organization in its totality - the
environment in which it operates, and its
internal administrative activities. The emphasis
is on the kinds of problems and issues that
affect the success of the entire organization. A
serious attempt is made to elaborate on the
general applicability of the strategy-policy
disciplines to all sizes and types of
organizations, although the major emphasis
will focus on profit-oriented enterprises
operating in a competitive environment. An
important requirement of a general managers
job is the ability to think in a cross- functional
and holistic manner. Very often, decisions that
are optimal for an individual business unit or
department are not in the best interests of the
whole firm. Creativity and innovation are
critical to achieve success; as to follow oftentraveled strategic paths is unlikely to result in a
superior performance. Creativity can be
exercised in both analysis as well as
implementation. The orientation is consistently
pragmatic and managerial. By use of the case
method and the consulting project, students
are placed in managerial roles where they can
apply the concept of strategy in
characteristically management situations.
BU.790.051
Networked Organizations
(2 credits)

opportunities for value creation and
organizational improvement. The knowledge
developed in the class will be applied to
different contexts: value chain networks, social
networks, marketing, financial markets, firm
alliances and collaborations.
BU.790.052

exchange market, the international money
markets, and the conditions that define their
interrelation. The third part of the course
considers issues associated with the
operation of a firm in the global environment,
including particularly exchange rate risk
management, the opportunities and
challenges offered by international capital
markets and project evaluation and financing
in the international context.

Innovative Leadership
(2 credits)
The goal of this course is to help the executive
use organizational behavior theory to enhance
leadership skills. Specifically, this course seeks
to provide the analytical frameworks and the
practical experience necessary to better
influence and lead individuals and groups in
organizations. A fundamental assumption
underlying the course is that leadership is both
art and science. The analytical frameworks will
help the executive understand leadership; the
practical experience will help students put that
understanding into action. Key leadership

tasks require the executive to manage people,
information, and processes to accomplish
organizational goals, often under conditions
that are not of her own choosing. The
successful execution of these goals requires
the executive to harness the psychology of
individuals and groups, in order to motivate
others to act. While the course acknowledges
that some people are born leaders, it
assumes that most people learn how to lead
through sustained analysis and practice.
BU.790.055

teach students to use an evidence-based
approach and cultivate evidence-based
solutions, drawing from both organizational
and scientific evidence. Finally, new managers
tend to jump immediately from problem to
solution. This course will teach students to

characterized by hypothesis-driven
experimentation and adjustment. Upon
successful completion of the course, students
will demonstrate both familiarity and facility
with the three pillars of organizational
problem-solving: collaboration, evidence,
and experimentation.
BU.932.610

prevent such disasters? To whom are they
ultimately responsible: shareholders and

owners or a wider spectrum of stakeholders?
What are the roles and responsibilities of
boards of directors normally and in times of
crisis? How do boards monitor performance
and compliance among corporate officers, and
what kinds of reporting structures exist?
What laws and regulations seek to limit and
punish corporate malfeasance? How do the
approaches to self- and external-regulation of
companies differ in other countries and in a
global context? These are some of the
questions addressed in this seminar. Through
lectures, guest speakers, case studies, and
team projects, students explore corporate
governance, with an eye to best practices.

Exceptions to the Refund Policy: Students who experience events beyond their control may request an exception to
the course refund policy by submitting a General Petition Form to the Registrars Office. Petitions must be submitted in the same semester in which the course was taken, and must be accompanied by documentation of the circumstances leading to the request. Students who experience severe medical problems, a death in their immediate
family, or who are called into active military duty may receive a 100% refund. Other requests will be reviewed on a
case by case basis, and refund amounts (if awarded) will be decided by the Registrar. Petitions are reviewed
monthly, and notification of the final decision is sent to the student by email.
The General Petition Form can be downloaded at jh.box.com/PetitionForm2013 and mailed with supporting documentation to the Office of the Registrar, Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, 100 International Drive,
Baltimore, MD 21202, or faxed to 410-800-4096 or scanned and emailed to carey.registration@jhu.edu.
