Tuition and Fees
Students whose tuition is paid by contract should begin processing requests with their employers well before registration deadlines to ensure that payment is made as required. Students are ultimately responsible for all costs associated with their registration.
Tuition
A full year of graduate tuition in the Whiting School of Engineering is found at jhu.edu/admissions/tuition. With support from the dean of the Whiting School of Engineering, our students enjoy a substantially decreased out-of-pocket cost. If you need a receipt for the courses you are taking, please print from your SIS account or contact Student Accounts at +1 877-419-5131.
Graduation Fee
The graduation fee is $100 and is payable upon receipt of an e-bill notification from the Office of Student Accounts.
Late Tuition Payment Fee
Tuition payment due dates are indicated in the Academic Calendar. If payment is received after the due date, a late payment fee of $150 will be incurred.
Transfer Credit Fee
Graduate courses completed at another school and approved for transfer are assessed a fee of $510 per course.

Drop or Withdraw with Tuition Refund
Engineering for Professionals students are expected to follow the drop and withdrawal deadlines outlined on the Academic Calendar. In exceptional cases, a Drop or Withdraw with Tuition Refund may be granted based on documented requests in which extenuating circumstances significantly impaired the student’s ability to complete the term, and a full or partial tuition refund may be provided. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to, debilitating illness, family hardships, or other significant life changes (e.g., death in a student’s immediate family, care for a seriously ill family member, military deployment, etc.).
To be considered for a Drop or Withdraw with Tuition Refund, you must complete the Drop or Withdraw with Tuition Refund request form and attach any documentation to support your request (e.g., medical documentation, death certificate, obituary, etc.). The request will be reviewed by the Student Academic Success Office who may consult with the instructor of record. You will be notified of the outcome of your request via email to your @jhu.edu address within 10 university business days. If approved after the semester’s drop deadline, the mark of “W” will be recorded as the official grade for the course in lieu of a letter grade.
Drop or Withdraw with Tuition Refund requests and supporting documentation are retained by the Office of Academic Affairs for at least five years and filed separately from the student’s other records to maintain confidentiality.
