Student Disability Services (SDS)

Accessibility and Inclusion at Johns Hopkins University

As Johns Hopkins University works to foster diversity and build a campus culture of inclusion, we are committed to ensuring people with disabilities enjoy full participation in the university’s programs, services, and benefits. JHU seeks the continuous improvement of accessibility on its campuses and in its activities, and prohibits unlawful discrimination on the basis of disability.

Student Disability Services (SDS) coordinates accessible and inclusive educational experiences for disabled students by collaborating with campus partners to proactively remove barriers, raise awareness of equitable practices, and foster an appreciation of disability as an area of diversity while utilizing a wide range of approaches from individualized accommodations to universal design.    

Requesting Accommodations

To begin the process of requesting accommodations, students should complete the online SDS Application and are asked to provide documentation that meets the SDS Guidelines for Documentation. For more information or to request assistance with any step in the process, students can contact the SDS advisor at their school within the SDS Hubs below.
