Students in the two-year MAIR program who have completed a relevant graduate degree at another institution may petition for advanced standing. If awarded advanced standing, the number of courses required is reduced from 16 (64 credits) to 12 (48 credits) for completed graduate degrees of two years or more. For completed graduate degrees of less than two years, the number of courses required is reduced from 16 (64 credits) to 14 (56 credits). Students with advanced standing must meet all graduation requirements within those 14 or 12 courses (56 or 48 credits).
Consideration for advanced standing is only given to MAIR students for relevant graduate degrees completed, not individual courses. To obtain advanced standing, students must complete the Advanced Standing Request form and upload a copy of their transcript proving completion of the degree prior to their final semester of study. Students who receive advanced standing must still complete the residency requirement of three full-time semesters.
Students wishing to pursue a dual degree in a formal or approved ad-hoc program may do so either by being admitted concurrently to both schools or by being admitted to the second school during their first year at Johns Hopkins SAIS. Since INSEAD offers both fall and spring admission, students admitted to INSEAD prior to the end of their third semester may also participate in the dual-degree program.
Students admitted to an approved dual-degree program during their first year must complete the official dual-degree paperwork. The number of courses required for students in approved dual-degree programs is reduced from 16 to 12. All graduation requirements must be completed within these 12 courses. Students admitted to an additional graduate program, other than INSEAD, during their second year will not be considered dual-degree students.
Ad hoc dual-degree arrangements with Johns Hopkins SAIS must conform to the expectations established by the formal dual-degree programs, for example the Johns Hopkins SAIS-Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania MAIR-MBA program, and should be confirmed in writing.
Students should also be able to demonstrate the international relevance and other specific curricular and/or programmatic strengths of the institution being proposed. These considerations should be linked to the student’s career objective.
Students who leave Johns Hopkins SAIS to pursue the second degree must request a leave of absence, even if all degree requirements have been completed. Students in all dual-degree programs, formal or ad-hoc, must complete the requirements of both institutions before receiving either degree, with the exception of INSEAD. Those students receive the INSEAD degree upon completion of that program.
Students are responsible for filling out the Application to Graduate and contacting the Registrar’s Office at the beginning of the final semester at the other program to ensure their name is on their diploma order list and that all degree requirements have been completed.
For questions involving dual-degree arrangements, contact the Office of Academic Advising.

Students may be asked to withdraw or may be placed on an involuntary leave of absence when their physical or mental health or the manifestations of their health render them unfit to continue the course of study. Prior notice and the opportunity to be heard will, under ordinary circumstances, be given before the imposition of an involuntary leave of absence. However, the school reserves the right to conclude that, on certain occasions, conditions exist that warrant an immediate leave of absence in order to avert imminent harm to the student or to other persons or property.
In such an event, a student on an involuntary leave of absence will be apprised immediately of procedures for appeal and reinstatement by Office of Academic Affairs and Office of Student Affairs. Students at SAIS Europe should consult the Director of Student Affairs regarding reinstatement. Students at the Hopkins-Nanjing Center should consult the American Co-Director regarding reinstatement. Johns Hopkins SAIS may mandate that students be assessed by the Johns Hopkins Student Assistance Program regarding their fitness to continue their studies.

Prior notice and the opportunity to be heard will, under ordinary circumstances, be given before the imposition of an involuntary leave of absence. However, the school reserves the right to conclude that, on certain occasions, conditions exist that warrant an immediate leave of absence in order to avert imminent harm to the student or to other persons or property.
In such an event, a student on an involuntary leave of absence will be apprised immediately of procedures for appeal and reinstatement by Office of Academic Affairs and Office of Student Affairs. Students at SAIS Europe should consult the Director of Student Affairs regarding reinstatement. Students at the Hopkins-Nanjing Center should consult the American Co-Director regarding reinstatement.
