Veterans Affairs

Johns Hopkins is approved by the Maryland Higher Education Commission for the training of veterans, service members, eligible spouses and dependents pursuing a degree or an approved certificate program. VA certifications are submitted 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 Chapter 33.  Johns Hopkins University participates in the Principles of Excellence standards.

In order to prevent outstanding student accounts, Chapter 31 and 33 students are required to:

• Submit a COE or Statement of Benefits

• Provide any additional information needed for certification
