Graduates from the previous two academic years (2020 and 2021) are also invited to participate in the in-person ceremony. If you are planning to graduate in Spring 2022, you will need to apply for graduation by Jan. 24. 2022.
LGBTQ+ Discussion Group
Monday, Oct. 25 | 2 – 3:15 p.m.
The LGBTQ+ Discussion Group focuses on providing intentional space and safety for LGBTQ+ students to explore and discuss their needs, joy, and concerns related to this particular area of identity that they hold. The group acts as a support to Johns Hopkins students when navigating identity, experiences, complexities, and mental health challenges. Sessions will be held virtually during the fall semester.
Mandatory Flu Vaccine
Johns Hopkins is requiring all affiliates to receive an annual influenza (flu) vaccine and to upload proof to the Vaccine Management System (VMS), or obtain an approved medical or religious exception, by Nov. 19. You are invited to attend one of the on-site vaccination clinics, which are now accepting appointments and are scheduled through early November. The flu vaccine is also free with Johns Hopkins–provided health insurance at any outpatient pharmacy, health care provider office, or city/county health department clinic. Vouchers are available in the VMS for free flu shots at Walgreens.
Stay Home if You Feel Sick
If you have any symptoms consistent with flu or COVID-19 (runny nose, sore throat, cough, fever), stay home from JHU campuses, and call the Johns Hopkins COVID-19 Call Center at 443-287-8500, seven days a week, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. You will be given instructions about next steps, including arranging for COVID and influenza testing.
Indoor Masking and Food Policy
All Johns Hopkins affiliates on any JHU campus must wear a mask while inside, regardless of their vaccination status. This decision comes as a result of the most recent CDC recommendations.
Eating meals in indoor shared spaces is restricted to areas where a six-foot distance can be maintained. Designated meal areas are established inside the Education Building and are available from 3 to 5 p.m. when classes are in session. There are also tables outside for eating.
Compliance Monitoring through Prodensity
Be sure to download and use Prodensity for daily health checks. The university will continue to use the Prodensity app to monitor compliance with JHU COVID safety policies, including the vaccination mandate. If you are a fully online student or an employee working on a 100% remote basis, or you do not plan to visit JHU campus or travel on behalf of JHU, go to Prodensity and set your status to “Off-campus” so that you no longer receive reminder emails. Other than resetting your campus status, no other action is required.
Student Enrollment and Account Management
SEAM assists with questions related to student accounts, registration, and financial aid. Contact SEAM by using SEAM’s online form; visiting a SEAM office on the Homewood, Washington, D.C., and East Baltimore campuses; or calling 877-419-5131 to speak directly with a SEAM team member.

National Institutes of Mental Health Event on Seasonal Affective Disorder
Tue, Oct 26, 2–2:30 pm ET
Location: Virtual
NIMH is conducting a free livestream event on Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). While many people feel less happy at times during cold, gloomy days during the winter, these “winter blues” are usually temporary and do not interfere with a person’s functioning. In contrast, some people may start to feel consistently “down” when the days get shorter in the fall and winter and begin to feel better in the spring with its longer daylight hours. In some cases, these mood changes are more serious and, as with all types of depression, can affect how a person feels, thinks, and handles daily activities. SAD is a type of depression characterized by its recurrent seasonal pattern, with symptoms lasting about four to five months per year. Matthew Rudorfer, M.D., chief of the Adult Psychopharmacology, Somatic, and Integrated Treatment Research Program at NIMH, will discuss the signs, symptoms, treatments, and the latest research on SAD.
How to participate:
- Watch the livestream event on NIMH’s Facebookor Twitter feeds (must have either a Facebook or Twitter account to watch and ask questions).
- Refresh NIMH’s Facebook or Twitter feeds at 2:00 p.m. ET on Oct 26th to watch the livestream discussion.
- NIMH will provide sign language interpreters.
The livestream will be archived on NIMH’s website and Facebook page to access after the event is over.
