Getting Ready for Your First Semester
New Student Checklist
Whether you plan to take courses at our Washington DC campus, at the Homewood Campus, at the Montgomery County Campus, or online, please check that you have completed the following important steps.
Activate your Johns Hopkins Enterprise Directory (JHED) log-in.

The JHED ID and password gives admitted students access to a variety of JHU online resources, including online registration and online library services. For step-by-step instructions to activate your JHED Log in visit our tutorial below:
Set up your Johns Hopkins Enterprise Messaging (JHEM) e-mail.

Register for your first class. Please be sure to look at your academic program requirements on the program website before registering.
New Students should register by downloading and fax in their registration forms. For step-by-step instructions to register for class, use the Registration Wizard. If you are not a joint degree student, after your first semester, you can also preregister for subsequent classes online using the registration wizard. The course schedules for the semester are located online at: advanced.jhu.edu/registration/schedules.Here you will also find the academic calendar which gives the registration dates, semester start and end dates, and other useful calendar information. If you plan to take your first online course, you must first complete an online survey and pass a one-week orientation course. For information on online courses, please visit advanced.jhu.edu/online.
Look for your J-Card in the mail two to three weeks after your register for you first class. The J-Card is the University Identification card and also serves as a library card. Once you have received your J-Card, it must be activated in order to borrow library materials. Your library account is activated the first time you check an item out of one of the library centers. You can also activate your account by calling the main Circulation Desk at 410-516-8370. The 14 digit number on the very bottom of the card is the number to enter for online requests for library materials, once your card is activated. NOTE: If you would like your J-Card to display your photo, you will need to have your photo taken for your J-Card at the Office ID Card services at Homewood Campus, Baltimore (a photo is not required).
