Registration & Enrollment

Only students who have been admitted to a graduate degree or certificate program (or as a graduate special student) may register for courses. Please register early to ensure your spot in your desired course (a course may close or be canceled due to low enrollment).

Registration Login

Registration for online and in-person courses can be completed online using the Student Information System (SIS) portal, which requires a JHED ID and JHU email account.

Please note that students may not sit in on a class without being officially registered for that class, nor should they contact instructors to request permission to register for or attend a closed course. Students who fail to complete their registration and sit in on a class will not receive a grade or credit for attending class.

All outstanding debts to Johns Hopkins University must be paid in full in order to register for courses.

Registration Deadlines

Registration opens several months before each semester begins (see the Academic Calendar). Students who have been admitted to a program may register for courses online using the  SIS Self-Service portal which is available 24 hours a day. 

Registration Fees

When initially registering for courses each semester, students will be charged tuition fees and a non-refundable $175 registration fee. Following the initial course registration, students may register for additional courses without being subject to any additional course registration fees. Registrations are processed as they are received.

Students registering for the first time within two weeks of the start date of the term (regardless of first class meeting date of the individual classes) will be charged a late registration fee of $175.

Elective Offerings

Please view SIS Self-Service for a current list of master’s level courses that are available as electives and consult with your adviser if you have questions.
