Academic Credit

Graduate Summer Institute of Epidemiology and Biostatistics participants may register to take courses for academic credit or on a non-credit basis.  Please refer to course descriptions for the number of credits available for each course. Course credit status may not be retro-actively converted after the stated deadlines.  Academic credit for a course is granted only if the following conditions have been met:

  • The student has been admitted to the School, either as a special student or a degree candidate or has registered as a special student limited. Students registered as special students limited may accumulate a maximum of 16 credits total.  After 16 credits have been earned, application to and acceptance in special student regular or degree status is required.

  • The student has registered to take the course for academic credit at the time of enrollment during the official registration period (June 15 - June 17). This period will be extended to June 25 for the courses that begin on June 23, and to July 2 for courses that begin on June 30. 

  • The student has completed all course requirements including examinations, and has received a passing grade.


Students who register for academic credit will be able to get a transcript of their Summer Institute grades. To have transcripts forwarded to another institution, a written request must be submitted to the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Registrar's Office at least ten working days before the transcript is needed. Students who want Summer Institute courses applied to degree programs at other institutions should consult with their home institution regarding transfer of credits and credit conversion.

All Summer Institute students will receive a certificate of participation on the completion of their courses.
