General Institutional Information

Student Financial Assistance Information

Using Federal Financial Aid to Purchase Books/Supplies

If your financial aid file is complete (all documents and outstanding requirements were submitted on or before our published deadlines) and you are entitled to a refund of excess federal student aid funds, you should receive your refund in time to buy required books and supplies during the first week of a term. Students enrolled in modules and/or courses that do not begin within seven days of the start of the term may not receive their aid until they actually begin class. To ensure timely receipt of your refund, be sure to choose the method to receive your refund as soon as possible.

Follett/JHU Bookstore confirmed that only students using VA benefits can use vouchers: "The option works at JHU for the VA students because of the way the VRE accounts are set up.  But financial aid and scholarship options do not with at JHU as payment methods. Financial Aid is deposited into the students personal account so they would use there own form of payment." 

Non-VA students must wait for any eligible financial aid refund to be credited to SIS student account.

Transfer Without Replacement

The transfer policy applies only to part-time programs.

The maximum number of credits earned at another accredited college or university, or at another school within Johns Hopkins University, that may be transferred into a graduate degree program in the Carey Business School in no case can exceed six credits. Any request for transfer credit must be submitted within the first semester.

Only credits from external coursework taken prior to matriculation to the Carey Business School are eligible for transfer consideration. Coursework must be completed within the last five years and the student must have a B+ or better in the completed coursework. Faculty course leads make the final decision on course equivalencies, but students should start the process with their academic advisor. To maintain academic integrity and course equivalency, each transfer course must align individually with a specific course at Carey. The Carey Business School does not permit students to use multiple transfer courses to satisfy the requirements of a single Carey course in the transfer process.

Current Carey Business School students will not be able to transfer any credits earned at another college or university taken after their initial matriculation. This includes students on a leave of absence or inactive students.

A maximum of six credits may be transferred and the combination of transfer credits and course waivers may not exceed 10 credits. The Waiver Exam policy is separate from the Transfer of Graduate Credit policy.

Carey does not allow the transfer of courses towards any full-time program.

International Credential Evaluation

Applicants must submit an official course-by-course evaluation for all degrees earned or expected from outside the United States. Evaluations must be provided by a NACES member agency and confirm that the applicant has earned thr equivalent of a U.S. bachelor’s degree. If you completed coursework outside the U.S. but earned your degree within the U.S., you must submit transcripts from all attended schools and transcripts must be in English

Applicants currently pursuing a degree from a school outside the U.S. and will not graduate by the application deadline are required to submit a course-by-course evaluation of completed coursework. Students who choose to enroll are required to submit an updated evaluation once their degree has been conferred.

Because fees and document requirements for evaluations may vary by agency, applicants are encouraged to contact the agency directly for information. We accept evaluations from any NACES member agency. Applicants most commonly choose one of the following

Withdrawing From a Course

To withdraw from a course, students must submit a withdrawal request using SEAM's online form. Students may not withdraw from courses using SIS. Notice to the instructor of intent to withdraw is not sufficient, nor are telephone withdrawals accepted. The last date to withdraw from a class without academic penalty (without receiving the grade of F) is published by the Registrar's Office under the registration deadlines. Students who withdraw after the deadline or stop attending class at any time without properly submitting an official add/drop form receive an F (Failure) for the course. Tuition refunds are calculated from the date of receipt of the add/drop form in the Registrar’s Office. International students on an F-1 visa are advised to contact the Office of International Services before withdrawing from or dropping a course.

Note: Federal aid recipients who withdraw from all coursework in a semester may have aid returned to the federal government according to federal “Return of Title IV funds” regulations, a copy of which can be obtained from the Office of Financial Aid. Aid recipients who withdraw from some courses in the semester but not all their courses may have their aid awards adjusted to the reduced cost of attendance. Students who drop to less than half-time status prior to beginning the class may have their federal aid canceled, even if some portions have already been refunded to them for living expenses. Students will receive a bill from the school for the balance due. Withdrawing from classes may also impact future aid eligibility. Financial Aid recipients are advised to consult with their academic advisor and the financial aid staff prior to withdrawing from classes. Students using VA benefits should contact the VA Certifying Official immediately.

Course Load

Full-time students may not enroll in more than 16 credits per semester. Part-time students may not enroll in more than 10 credits per semester, unless approved by an academic advisor.
