Health and Vision/Dental Insurance

Johns Hopkins University requires all full-time students in the Schools of Arts & Sciences and Engineering maintain adequate health insurance coverage to provide protection against unexpected accidents and illnesses. Enrollment is automatic in the university’s student health benefits plan each academic year and the premium charge will be added to your student account bill each semester.

Student Health Benefit Plan coverage information and ID card can be found through SIS Self-Service under the “Personal Info” menu.

International Students with an F1/J1 visa status are required to purchase the University’s Health Benefits plan, and are not eligible to waive out of the plan.

Domestic students with existing comparable health insurance who do not wish to be enrolled in the Student Health Benefit Plan may be eligible to waive the coverage and premium charge. Waiver requests may be submitted through SIS Self-Service during open enrollment only.

For more information about health insurance and voluntary vision and/or dental insurance, visit the Primary Care website.

Late Registration (AAP Only)

The late registration period is defined as seven days prior to the start of the semester. Registration after the start of classes is possible until the day of the second class meeting. A late registration fee is assessed during the late registration period, but does not apply for new students who were accepted for that term. Late registration will be handled between 9 a.m.–7 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Late Registration (ASEN Undergraduate and Graduate Students)

Late registration fees may be assessed for a time period during registration for full-time students. More detailed information regarding late registration fees can be found on the Office of the Registrar’s website.

Late Payment Penalty Fee (EP Only)

Students who do not pay their bill by the term’s due date will be assessed a $150 late payment fee.

Outstanding Balances

Students with uncleared account balances for a previous term will be denied registration for a future term. No diploma will be released until all past-due balances are paid in full.

Returned Checks

You may be required to submit cash, certified check, money order, or bank check to replace a check that has been returned. A fee of $25 for each returned check will be billed to your account.

Other Fees

If you have questions about a specific charge on your account, please contact the originating department. If you are unsure of the department that assessed the charge, contact the Office of Student Enrollment and Account Management.
