Tuition & Fees

AS/EN Tuition Rates

Rates for Krieger School of Arts and Sciences (AS) and Whiting School of Engineering (EN) undergraduate and graduate students.

Health 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, visit the Office of the Registrar’s website.
