Schedule
SAIS does not have an in-house bookstore. Students can purchase their textbooks through online vendors, such as Amazon and Half.com.
Some professors may not require you to buy textbooks, as they have prepared readings for you. They may also be using ERes (Electronic Reserves) where you can access some of your readings online through the SAIS library. You can access your course's ERes site through Blackboard.
The Service Desk
The SAIS Service Desk is the campus's computing services help desk, offering technical support to students, faculty and staff. This service is available to all summer students who have questions about their JHED ID, SAIS email account, classroom wi-fi connections, and other technology related issues. The contact information for the Service Desk is below:

Students can access Bb through the link in the SAIS web portal or by going to http://blackboard.jhu.edu. Please visit the Academic Technology website for further information and instructions.

For those who have sent a passport-sized photo to SAIS, the Johns Hopkins University student identification card (J-Card) will be available at the SAIS Computer Lab on the 3rd floor of the Nitze Building (N317).

A list of registered students will be given to the guards of all SAIS buildings during the first week of class. After that time, students must have a J-Card to gain access to the buildings, the library and the computer centers.
