Tuition & Fees

Full course tuition is due at the time of registration. All other fees are payable as noted below.

Application Fee

The application fee is $70 for all programs, with the following exceptions:

$75 for the Master of Bioinformatics, a program jointly offered with the Whiting School of Engineering, Engineering Programs for Professionals.
$75 for the MS/MBA in Biotechnology, a joint degree program with the School of Professional Studies in Business and Education.
$75 for the MA Communication/MBA Program, a joint degree program with the School of Professional Studies in Business and Education.
$75 for the MA Government/MBA Program, a joint degree program with the School of Professional Studies in Business and Education.

The application fee must be submitted with the application and is not refundable under any circumstances. Advanced Academic Programs degree recipients who wish to continue their studies or enter into another degree program in the Advanced Academic Programs, or in some other division of the university, may apply without paying a second application fee. Students who have paid an application fee to, or who have graduated from, any other Johns Hopkins program within the past year do not have to pay the fee when applying to the Advanced Academic Programs.

Tuition

Tuition in the Advanced Academic Programs for the academic year 2008–2009 is $2,560 per course in all programs except for the Master of Arts in Writing Program, which is $2,080 per course, and the Master of Liberal Arts Program, which is $1,720. Courses in the part-time programs offered by other Johns Hopkins divisions, carry those schools’ published tuition fees. Students in AAP’s jointly offered programs with other divisions pay the tuition fee published for each course. Tuition for courses in the daytime programs of the university is a percentage of full-time tuition.

Course Fees

Some courses require, in addition to tuition, field trip, laboratory, technology, and thesis fees. These fees, specified in the Course Schedule (advanced.jhu.edu/registration) for each semester/term, are payable at the same time as the regular tuition charges and are nonrefundable.

Fee for Removal of an Incomplete Grade

Students who receive an Incomplete for a course are required to pay a $25 fee to have the I grade changed to the final grade once that grade has been submitted by the instructor. This fee must be paid to the Advanced Academic Programs office in Washington before the grade can be posted on the permanent record. No payment is required if the final grade is an F.

Continuation of Enrollment Fee

Students who are in a thesis course and do not finish the thesis in the semester in which they enrolled for it must pay a continuation-of-enrollment fee of $500 for each subsequent semester/term until a final grade has been submitted. Students submit a registration form with payment to the Enrollment Office. This fee also allows students to continue using university facilities such as libraries, and the Johns Hopkins Enterprise Directory (JHED).

Graduation Fee

The graduation fee is $100 and is payable upon receipt of a bill from the Student Accounts office. Student Accounts sends this bill in October to students who completed degree requirements during the summer term; in March to those who completed requirements in the fall; and in April to spring graduates.

Refund Policy

Students may elect to withdraw from one or more course(s) for a variety of reasons. Refunds are made in accordance with the refund policy and schedule for each semester/term.
