We are thrilled to welcome you to our community of diverse, talented learners at AAP. Our hope is that through your academic program you will gain the skills and insights to advance your career, grow personally and professionally, and reach your goals. We look forward to partnering with you for your success.

Welcome! At the start of each semester, new students will be shared our new student orientation information to their JHU email account. If you have any questions, please email [email protected].

48-72 hours after receiving your decision letter you will be emailed your JHED ID. JHED is a university-wide online directory of students, staff, and faculty. New students need to locate and activate their Login ID. The JHED ID and password give admitted students access to a variety of JHU online resources, including online registration and online library services. If you already have a JHED ID because you are a staff or faculty member at JHU, you will not receive an email. For instructions on activating your JHED, go to this tutorial.

While activating your JHED login, first view your Profile. Be certain to check your Primary location. It should reflect where you plan to take the majority of your classes. Valid responses are Online, Washington D.C. Center, or Homewood Campus.

All AAP students are required to activate their Johns Hopkins University email address. All official communications from AAP and Johns Hopkins University will be sent to this address, including, but not limited to, class assignments, billing information, and emergency notifications. Learn more about setting up your email account.
