Veterans Affairs

Johns Hopkins University is approved by the Maryland Higher Education Commission for the training of veterans, service members, eligible spouses and dependents pursuing an approved degree or certificate program. Enrollment certifications are submitted to the VA under the provisions of federal and state laws pertaining to veterans' educational benefits.

Johns Hopkins University fully complies with Section 103.1.(b) of the Veterans Benefits and Transition Act of 2018, which ensures that JHU 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 to borrow additional funds, on any covered individual when the individual’s inability to meet their financial obligations to the institution is due to the delayed disbursement of Chapter 31 or Chapter 33 funding from the VA. Johns Hopkins University participates in the Principles of Excellence standards.

In order to prevent outstanding student accounts, students using Chapter 33 or Chapter 31 veteran education benefits are required to:

• Submit a Certificate of Eligibility or Statement of Benefits (Chapter 33)
• Have a current VR&E Purchase Order authorization on file (Chapter 31)
• Complete a Third Party Payer VA certification request each term
• Provide any additional information needed for certification of enrollment
