Course Credit

Health, Behavior and Society courses may be taken for academic credit or on a non-credit basis. Students who take a non-credit course will not be required to complete assignments, and completion of the course will not appear on a School transcript. Retroactive conversion from academic credit to non-credit is not permitted.

Registration, Tuition and Fees

Registration begins February 17, 2012

The application deadline is May 14, 2012. Students are strongly encouraged to register early, so that they can receive course materials in advance and have adequate time to prepare. However, walk-in registrations will be accepted if space is available. Full tuition payment is due before or on the date of registration. Checks should be made payable to Johns Hopkins University, and must be in U.S. dollars drawn on a U.S. bank. Any bank charges incurred for processing will be charged to the registrant. MasterCard, American Express and Visa payments are accepted.

Where academic credit leading to a degree is desired, students are required to pay the standard School tuition of $923* per credit for Bloomberg School of Public Health degree students. This rate does not apply to students taking courses for non-credit. The non-credit tuition rate is $461 for the equivalent of one academic credit.

Registrants financed by agencies such as the World Health Organization or the U.S. federal government must submit purchase orders or contract documents with their application. Employees of the Johns Hopkins University who wish to use tuition remission should visit the Tuition Remission section of the JHU Benefits site  for the appropriate application forms. The Johns Hopkins tuition remission does not cover the cost of books/materials.


*Estimated tuition rate. The tuition rate is subject to change at the discretion of the School.

If you are not a JHU degree-seeking student, please use the continuing education online application.

Note that if you did not register for a School of Public Health Institute course in 2011 and thus did not receive an ISIS (registration) ID, you will be required to complete an additional step to get an ISIS ID before you can register.
