Johns Hopkins is approved by the Maryland Higher Education Commission for the training of veterans and the widows and children of deceased veterans under provisions of the various federal laws pertaining to veterans’ educational benefits. Information about veterans’ benefits and enrollment procedures may be obtained at the Registrar’s Office, Garland Hall, 410-516-7071. Students eligible for veterans educational benefits register and pay their university bills in the same manner as other students. Reimbursement is made by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs on a monthly basis. The amount of reimbursement is determined by the veteran’s number of dependents and course load based on the table below.
Credits per term:
| 12 |
|
Full-time |
| 9-11 |
|
Three-quarter time |
| 6-8 |
|
One-half time |
| 1-5 |
|
Payments cover only a portion of assigned fees |
Note that credits are not assigned to graduate courses. A statement of “equivalent” credits for each graduate course taken may be obtained from the Registrar’s Office. To obtain reimbursement, a veteran must comply with the following procedures:
Initial Enrollment- The veteran must first apply and be admitted to one of the schools of the University. He or she then obtains an Application for Program of Education or Training (DVA Form 22-1990) from either the Department of Veterans Affairs at www.gibill.va.gov.
After completing the application, the veteran sends it, with a certified copy of appropriate discharge papers, to the following address:
Johns Hopkins University
Office of the Registrar - 75 Garland Hall
Veterans Affairs
3400 N. Charles Street
Baltimore, Maryland 21218-2681
Transfers-When transferring from another college or university, the veteran must obtain a Request for Change of Program or Place of Training Form (DVA Form 22-1995) from either the Department of Veterans Affairs or www.gibill.va.gov, and must submit the completed form to the Registrar’s Office in Garland Hall at the University.
Re-enrollment-A student who received veterans benefits while attending the University during the preceding semester or summer session, and who plans to re-enroll with no change of objective, must advise the Registrar when submitting registration materials that he or she wishes to be re-certified under the provisions of the original DVA Form 22-1990.
Students receiving veterans benefits must pursue a program of courses which leads toward the exact objective (normally a degree or certificate) indicated on the original DVA application. Any change in program or objective requires submission of a Request for Change of Program (DVA Form 22-1995). Veteran students are required to advise the Registrar immediately of any change in their program or status (add/drops) which might affect the amount of their monthly payment from the DVA. Failure to do so will cause the Department of Veterans Affairs to seek restitution from the veteran for the overpayment of benefits.
Standards of Progress-Continuation of DVA payments is dependent upon the veteran meeting the academic standards established by the University for all students-veterans and non-veterans alike. The veteran must also meet any standards of progress that are or may be established by DVA regulations. If the student fails to meet these standards, benefits will be suspended until the DVA completes a review of the student’s progress and determines that the benefits may be resumed.
