Step 1b: Determine your Status

Only students admitted to the Advanced Academic Programs with an active status may enroll in courses. You are considered an active student if you have enrolled in and attended class in at least one of the last three semesters. Students who do not attend courses for three consecutive semesters without obtaining a formal leave of absence from the Advanced Academic Programs lose their active status. The student is considered to have withdrawn from the program. To resume taking courses in the Advanced Academic Programs, students must reapply by submitting a new application form, a new application fee, and any new application materials required. Reapplying students are subject to the admission and program requirements in force at the time of the new application. Acceptance for inactive students is not guaranteed, and courses taken prior to the interruption of studies may not count toward degree requirements.

Student Status Exceptions

There are some exceptions to the enrollment requirement of being an admitted student with an active status. Those conditions are:

Applicants: Applicants who have received advisor permission to enroll in courses for one semester until formal application is complete. These applicants must complete their application in the first semester before being able to register for subsequent courses.

Interdivisional: Students in other divisions of Johns Hopkins may take courses in the Advanced Academic Programs if permitted by their home division, and if space is available. Such students must obtain their adviser’s approval on an Interdivisional Registration form available either from their home school registrar or the Advanced Academic Programs Enrollment Office. NOTE: Interdivisional registrations will not be processed until the after the semester registration deadline. Interdivisional Registrants will then be notified during that time if the courses they wish to register for are full.

If you are an active student, or you fall in one of the two exceptions above, you may proceed with your registration. If you have a question about your student status, you can contact registration.
