Veterans Educational Benefits
Johns Hopkins is approved by the Maryland Higher Education Commission for the training of veterans, service members, eligible spouses and dependents under the provisions of the various federal laws pertaining to veterans' educational benefits. Johns Hopkins University also complies with Federal Law Section 103 (effective Aug. 1, 2019) which ensures that Johns Hopkins University will not impose any penalty, including the assessment of late fees, the denial of access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities, or the requirement that an eligible individual borrow additional funds, on any covered individual because of the individual’s inability to meet their financial obligations to the institution due to the delayed disbursement funding from the VA under Chapter 31 or 33.
Information about veterans' benefits and enrollment procedures may be obtained at https://studentaffairs.jhu.edu/registrar/veterans/ or veterans@jhu.edu the Office of the Registrar, 75 Garland Hall, 410-516-6635.
Initial Enrollment
Once admitted to the university, the student must complete an Application for Program of Education or Training (VA Form 22-1990) from the Department of Veteran Affairs. A copy of the Certificate of Eligibility, can be sent to the Veterans Desk, veterans@jhu.edu. Additional delivery options can be found at https://studentaffairs.jhu.edu/registrar/veterans/.
The student who is transferring from another university or college will need to submit a Request for Change of Place of Training (VA Form 22-1995) from the Department of Veteran Affairs. The completed form should be submitted to the VA, and a copy sent to the Veterans Desk at the university.
When enrolling in classes, please select Third Party Payer as your billing method.
Re-enrollment

Please select Third Party Payer as billing method.
Students receiving veterans' benefits must take courses that lead toward the exact objective (usually a specific degree) on the original VA application. Students utilizing veterans' benefits must let the Veteran School Certifying Official know immediately of any change in their program or status that might affect the amount of their VA payment. If they fail to do so, the Department of Veterans Affairs will seek reimbursement from the student for any overpayment.
