Student Resources
An important consideration in selecting a business school is the range and quality of services available to students.
These are some of the resources our students find especially helpful:
- Housing Resources
- Transportation Resources
- Health Insurance for Students
- Disability Services
- Students Assistance Program (JHSAP)
- Dependent Care Assistance
- WORKlife Services
Although the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School does not provide on-campus housing, many resources are available in both Baltimore and Washington DC to help you find your next home. For a list of city resources, apartment listings, neighborhood guides and more, visit the Carey Business School Housing Web page.
Full-time students enrolled in the Global MBA and Real Estate Programs, and F-1 visa status students must maintain adequate health insurance coverage to provide protection against unexpected accidents and illnesses. Full-time students enrolled in the Global MBA and Real Estate Programs, and F-1 visa status students must purchase the University Student Health Insurance Plan (Aetna Student Health) or successfully complete the waiver process demonstrating U.S.-based health insurance coverage comparable to the University's plan. Waivers are possible during the first semester of enrollment only and each subsequent fall semester at specifically designated time periods. All full-time program students enrolled in the Global MBA and Real Estate Programs, and F-1 status students will automatically be enrolled in the Aetna Student Health Plan. No further action is required for full-time program students enrolled in the Global MBA and Real Estate Programs, and F-1 visa status students.
Other Carey students who take a full-time load are eligible to enroll in the Aetna Student Plan, but are not automatically enrolled. Interested Carey students should enroll online at www.aetnastudenthealth.com and make premium payments directly to Aetna Student Health. At the Aetna site look up JHU Carey Business School, navigate to "Medical Plan: Enroll/Waive," and look for part-time student enrollment.

Beginning July 15, 2011, details about the Aetna Student Health Plan benefits, coverage rates and costs will be available online at www.aetnastudenthealth.com. Under "Find Your School" look for JHU Carey Business School.
Insurance Waiver Process
Students who wish to waive coverage in the Aetna Student Health plan should complete the online waiver process through the www.aetnastudenthealth.com under JHU Carey Business School to show comparable coverage. Navigate under "Medical Plans: Enroll/Waive". The waiver site will open July 15 and close September 30 for students entering in the fall. For students entering the Carey Business School in the spring, the deadline to waive coverage is February 28. Students will not be permitted to waive coverage after these deadlines. International students whose waiver is denied online may contact Student Services for a review of comparability.
For questions about benefits, enrollment, and applications please go to www.aetnastudenthealth.com or call (800) 558-8845.
Information for currently enrolled full-time students whose employer sponsored health insurance will end: If you would like to apply for Aetna's insurance before the published enrollment date, please scan your insurance carrier's letter stating your termination date and send to Student Services at carey.student@jhu.edu. Please include your phone number and email address. Student Services will contact Aetna to receive your pro-rated cost and will send you a paper application to complete and send to Aetna. This rate will cover your insurance from your termination date to the next Aetna published enrollment date.
