Veterans Benefits

Johns Hopkins is approved by the Maryland Higher Education Commission for the training of veterans and the widows and children of deceased veterans under the provisions of the various federal laws pertaining to veterans' educational benefits. Information about veterans' benefits and enrollment procedures may be obtained at the Office of the Registrar in 75 Garland Hall or by calling 410-516-7071. Students eligible for veterans' benefits register and pay their
University bills in the same manner as non-veteran students. Reimbursement is made by the Department of Veterans Affairs on a monthly basis. The amount of reimbursement is governed by the student's program and number of dependents and is based on the following table:

Number of Credits per term
Classification
12
Full Time
9–11
Three Quarter Time
6-8
One Half Time
1–5
One Quarter Time

In all of the above cases, payments cover only a portion of assigned fees. Graduate students whose courses do not carry credit hours will be certified on an equivalent credit basis.

To be reimbursed the student must comply with the following procedures:

Initial Enrollment
Once admitted to the University, the student must obtain an Application for Program of Education or Training (VA Form 22-1990) from either the Department of Veterans Affairs or from the University. The completed application along with a certified copy of the DD-214, copy 4, is sent to the Veterans Desk, Office of the Registrar, 75 Garland Hall, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21218.

Students transferring from another university or college will need to obtain a Request for Change of Place of Training (VA Form 22-1995) from either the Department of Veterans Affairs or the from the University. The completed form should be sent to the Veterans Desk, Office of the Registrar, 75 Garland Hall, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21218.

Re-enrollment
Students who receive veteran's benefits at the University the preceding semester and plan to re-enroll with no change of objective should inform the Registrar's Office at the time of registration that they wish to be re-certified under the provisions of their original VA Form 22-1990.

Students receiving veteran's benefits must take courses that lead toward the exact objective (usually a specific degree) on the original VA application. Otherwise, they must submit a Request for Change of Program (VA form 22-1995). Students utilizing veterans' benefits must let their registrar know immediately of any change in their status or program that might affect the amount of their monthly payment from the VA. If they fail to do so, the Department of Veterans Affairs will seek reimbursement from the student for any overpayment.

Standards of Progress
Continuation of VA payments depends on the student's meeting the University's academic standards for all students. The student must also meet any standards of progress which may be established by VA regulations.
