Students can drop courses via SIS if they do not have a hold on their account preventing them from doing so. If students have a hold on their account, they can email [email protected] who will drop them from the course. The Registrar’s Office is currently in the process of creating a fillable form students can use to withdraw from a course.
To withdraw from a course, students must submit the Add/Drop Form. The withdrawal/audit calendar below lists the last date each semester to withdraw without academic penalty (without receiving the grade of F).

If a student decides to withdraw from a program, they must complete the Withdrawal Form and submit it the Office of the Registrar. Depending on the date of the withdrawal (see Withdrawal/Audit Calendar ), the student may be responsible for all coursework, tuition, and fees for the current semester, if enrolled in courses.
A student who formally withdraws from a program but who subsequently wishes to be reinstated must reapply using the school’s regular application process.
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. Any questions regarding the Drop or Withdraw with Tuition Refund can be directed to EP’s Academic Affairs Manager, Heather Stewart.
Students who are enrolled at The Johns Hopkins University for the first time and who are receiving federal student financial aid are subject to a separate refund policy during their first period of enrollment. Refer to Return of Title IV Funds Policy for further information.
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 student’s immediate family, care for seriously ill family member, military deployment, etc.).
Students need to remember that they are allowed to transfer only 12 external college credits (not including collegiate-level exam earned credits) during their undergraduate careers at JHU. The external course I want to take is at a different credit load than the comparable course at JHU.
Find your faculty advisor and ask him/her to release the hold. The hold can be released online or via the faculty advisor’s signature on an add/drop form.
Yes, you must be enrolled in 12 credits to be considered a full-time student. Falling below 12 credits is not permitted unless special permission has been granted based upon advice from Student Disability Services or a student has completed eight full-term semesters.
Log into SIS. Under Registration tab, click on Online Forms and then follow the directions listed for either Add a new Major/Minor or Swap/Drop Current Program of Student. Please note that although the process to change a major is very simple, before doing so, you should make sure you are fully informed about the major and the department. Therefore, it is recommended that you make an appointment to speak with the department’s Director of Undergraduate Studies before declaring/changing the major.
Only grades of C+ or lower (or U and UCR if S/U grading) are eligible to be repeated at Hopkins. You cannot absolve a grade of B-. Retaking a course has to be done in the original grading configuration (i.e. letter grade or S/U). For more information on the grading policies, please see here in the Catalog.
No, it is only possible to transfer the credits. Only courses with a grade of C or better will be transferred. The grade earned will not factor into your GPA at Hopkins.
JHU will only transfer in the credits in the amount offered at the host institution (quarter units are converted to equivalent semester credits). If the credits differ, you need to discuss any implications this may have on your degree completion with your faculty advisor when seeking his/her approval to take the class.
Summer courses at JHU are primarily offered during two five-week terms. Some courses run on alternative schedules and may, therefore, have different deadlines. Courses are sponsored by the same academic departments that oversee the university's full-time degree programs. They are designed to reproduce, as closely as possible, similar courses offered during the spring and fall semesters. Tuition charges, and deadline dates, are published on the Summer Programs website. Students who register for Hopkins Summer courses outside of KSAS/WSE are subject to tuition charges determined by the individual school.
Undergraduate students at Johns Hopkins University must be registered for a minimum of 12 credits each semester. Students who have not completed degree requirements after eight full-time semesters may register for less than 12 credits and pay for courses on a per credit basis with the permission of their respective academic advising office.
The student must have approval from their respective advising office to register, add, or drop.
Unless a student is authorized by the Office of Student Disability Services for reduced course load, any request to drop or withdraw from a course that would result in the student being unable to earn a minimum of 12 credits in a fall or spring semester requires a signature from their respective academic advising office. Students who are authorized for reduced course load through the Office of Student Disability Services require approval from that office.
During the fall and spring semesters, students may add a course until the end of the second week of classes and pay no fees to add courses. During this time students may add courses without written approval, unless the course is filled or will cause a credit overload. If the course will cause a credit overload, Arts and Sciences students need approval from the Arts and Sciences Advising Office, while Engineering students will need the approval of their faculty advisor and the approval of the Engineering Advising Office. Approvals for credit overloads can be processed in the SIS by the student's respective advising office which will enable students to add the course (s) online.
For Arts and Sciences (AS) students, the average course load is 15 credits per semester for eight semesters. AS freshmen are limited to 17 credits, while AS upperclassmen are limited to 18.5 credits.
At least an equivalent amount of work as required in paragraph (1) of this definition for other academic activities as established by the institution, including laboratory work , internships, practica, studio work, and other academic work leading to the award of credit hours.
It is extremely important to have 12 credits of course work at all times in order to maintain your status as a full-time student. If you have questions, please call the Office of International Services at 667-208-7001 or email [email protected]. If you need to make changes to your registration:
If there are any questions or concerns, please contact your academic advising office: Arts and Sciences, [email protected] or 410-516-8216. Engineering, [email protected] or 410-516-7395. Complete grading policies can be found in the academic catalog.
Waitlisting a Class. When you add yourself to a waitlist for a section, you will see your position on SIS by clicking “Registration” and then “My Waitlist Classes.”. You will remain on the waitlist unless you click “Remove from Waitlist” to take yourself off the list. You can only waitlist three different courses and only one section ...
You can only waitlist three different courses and only one section of a single course. The total number of waitlist courses is three per student at any time, regardless of the term of the course. Please plan carefully if you intend to waitlist for courses in more than one term. Learn more about waitlisting a class.
Check your course schedule for conflicts. Under “Registration”, select “My Class Schedule”, then click on “Weekly Calendar”.
Registering for Courses that Meet at the Same Time. Registering for two classes that meet at the same time or overlapping times is not permitted except as a temporary measure during the first weeks of the semester when students are still deciding on which classes to take.
Seek permission from the instructor prior to registration and retain for yourself. There is no need to submit this to the Office of the Registrar, unless asked to do so.
Those students partially withdrawing will have their aid awards adjusted to the reduced cost of attendance. Students who drop to less than half-time will have their federal aid canceled, even portions which may have been refunded to them for living expenses, and will receive a bill from the School for the balance due.
All refunds will be approved by the Office of the Registrar in accordance with the Refund Schedule. A refund may take four to six weeks to process.
Once an offer of admission is accepted, students are assigned an advisor. Students are strongly encouraged to contact their advisor prior to registration. Logging of course and program completion as well as viewing of approvals and exceptions approved by a student’s advisor can be tracked through the degree audit system viewable through SIS.
Program Chairs and advisors may make exceptions to degree requirements at their discretion
Students placed on probation are permitted to retake any graduate course in which they have earned a grade of C+ or below. Students may attempt no more than two retakes during their program of study at JHEP; this may be on the same course or two different courses.
The university reserves the right to exclude, at any time, a student whose academic standing or general conduct is deemed unsatisfactory.
Requirements for degree and certificate programs are subject to change. When this occurs, students may fulfill any set of requirements in force during their time in the program.
