Resources and Support

All students are assigned a Professional Academic Advisor. Your academic advisor delivers timely, accurate, and practical advice to students related to academic policies, requirements, and degree completion.

Pre-professional advisors work with students who are pre-health or pre-law. These advisors do not replace a student’s professional academic advisor or success coach. Students who are interested in pursuing health or law should visit the Pre-Professional Advising website.

A faculty mentor brings their engineering expertise to develop a collaborative learning relationship with and serve as a role model for the student. Each engineering student is assigned a faculty mentor. After the first year, this will be a faculty member from the department of the student’s primary major.

The Academic Program Staff manage course production, oversee the departmental new student orientation and other events such as Design Day, and work with faculty and professional academic advisors to assist students.

A Life Design Educator helps students explore the various resources, opportunities, and networks available to them that will shape their careers and their futures. This relationship is built in the context that there is no one way to move through Hopkins, or to live your life.

Student Disability Services collaborates to create an inclusive community for students with disabilities by proactively removing barriers, raising awareness of equitable practices, and fostering an appreciation of disability as an area of diversity while utilizing a wide range of approaches from universal design to individualized accommodations.

The Office of International Services provides immigration, visa, and travel guidance to the Johns Hopkins University international community in every school.

Student Outreach and Support helps students manage physical and mental health concerns, personal and family emergencies, financial issues, and other obstacles that may arise during their college experience.
