Additional
Costs

Additional Costs

Application
Students interested in the baccalaureate, master’s, and post-degree certificate options must pay a $75 fee when submitting an application for admission. The doctoral fee is $100.

Deposit
A nonrefundable $500 deposit is required of all students accepted for admission. The deposit will be credited to the student’s account. MasterCard and Visa are accepted.

Matriculation
In the 2011–2012 academic year, a fee of $500 is payable on or before the date that a student enters the School of Nursing as a regular matriculated degree candidate. Special students who later become degree candidates will be assessed the matriculation fee at that time.

Self-Service Internet Student Information System
The Johns Hopkins University offers students online student account information through the ISIS Student Billing Self-Service website. This website will allow you to view your account, make online payments, and update information related to your student account. Self-Service is the official means of generating tuition bills to School of Nursing students. Paper bills will no longer be mailed to enrolled students. New students will receive a one-time paper bill and instructions to activate their ISIS self-service account. The self-service system will automatically send an e-mail notification to the student’s school e-mail address when a new bill is ready to be viewed online.

Student Health Insurance
All matriculated students must be covered by a current health insurance plan. The University will provide information about its student health insurance plan for students who are not covered under another plan. Students who do not purchase the University insurance must provide proof of enrollment in a comparable plan each semester. All full-time matriculated students will pay a $450 annual health services fee and will have unrestricted access to all services at University Health Services. Part-time students may pay $450 per year to access these services.

Supplies
Baccalaureate students must purchase a number of supplies including uniforms, a stethoscope, and an aneroid, adult-size blood pressure cuff. Students enrolled in nurse practitioner options should expect to purchase some diagnostic equipment during the first year.

Late Registration
A student who for any reason does not complete his or her registration until after the prescribed registration period will be required to pay a $50 late-registration service fee before that registration may be finalized by the registrar. Information about what constitutes late registration and the applicable fee will be included in registration materials which are distributed by the Registrar’s Office.

Late Fees
The University assesses a 1.50% per month late fee charge on the unpaid balance for any student whose account is in arrears. Students who have unpaid balances from a previous semester will not be allowed to register for subsequent semesters. Fees associated with delinquent accounts sent to collections will be passed on to the student.

Transcripts/Diplomas
There is no charge for transcripts. No transcript will be released if the student has an unpaid account balance. Diplomas will not be released to students with unpaid student account balances.
