Bills & Payments

Students can make payments on their billing accounts online via SIS with the following payment methods: eCheck or credit card (for AAP or EP students only). Students may access their account by simply accessing SIS and signing in using the username and password they have been assigned.

Checks for tuition and fees should be made payable to JHU and should include your Hopkins ID number. Please note that your Hopkins ID is not your JHED ID. You can find your Hopkins ID in the upper right-hand corner of SIS. Payments should be mailed to:

Financial Aid Awards are divided evenly between terms. Loans are credited at the net amount. If any adjustments are made to these awards through appeal or change in eligibility, you should adjust your “Amount Due” to reflect the change. Your aid may be revised if you fail to sign any needed promissory notes for your loans. The Office of Financial Aid will notify you if your aid changes.

• Outside scholarship checks may require your signature/endorsement before we can formally credit them to your account. We will send a notice to the student’s campus mailbox if you need to sign any checks. If you receive any scholarships besides those listed on your Award Notice, you must notify the Office of Financial Aid to determine your eligibility to retain your aid package.
• Work Study awards are never included on any bill from Student Accounts. You will receive weekly paychecks based on your hours worked each week. Most students use this money for personal expenses, as it is not applicable to tuition or fees.

Each company offers various payment methods, a wide range of international currency options, competitive exchange rates, and the convenience of paying through a local bank.

Students/parents enrolled in a monthly payment plan should continue to pay Nelnet monthly. However, all new charges not covered by your original Nelnet contract (library fines, lab breakage, etc.) should be paid directly to JHU upon receiving an account statement. This would be separate from your monthly payment plan installments. Funding for your J-Card (debit card) cannot be budgeted through the Nelnet Payment Plan. Refunds for any over payments to the plan will be processed after the payment plan contract has been fulfilled. Students/parents can adjust your monthly payment plan if excess funds are on your student account to avoid waiting for a refund.

Homewood graduate students completing a final degree during the first eight weeks of the fall semester or the first four weeks of the spring semester will generate a tuition reimbursement for that semester to whatever entity covered the cost—the student, the department, the advisor, etc. This applies only to students for whom completion of a master’s project, master’s essay, master’s journal submission or doctoral thesis is the sole remaining degree requirement at the start of the final semester. (NOTE: If a student completes a Tuition Deferral Form indicating an expectation to complete the degree within a specific grace period, no payment is required to register for that semester. If the grace period deadline is not met, however, that semester’s tuition charge will be added to the student’s account.)
