Tuition Remission Information

Full-time, benefits-eligible Johns Hopkins employees may submit for 100% tuition remission, and this does not deduct from the annual $5,250 allotment for credit courses. You are eligible for tuition remission once you have completed 120 days of full-time employment as long as you are Johns Hopkins faculty or staff and continue in a full-time position. You will need to fill out the Non-Credit Tuition Remission Benefit Application form in order to receive the tuition benefits. The Teaching Academy will provide instructions about filling out the form once you've registered.

Payment or the tuition remission form must be received to secure your seat in the workshop. In order to accommodate those wait-listed for this workshop, failure to submit payment or a signed tuition remission form will result in the cancellation of your registration.
