SAIS Summer Programs | 2012 Financial Information

Alumni Fellowship
SAIS degree-program alumni and those who have completed a full-time, SAIS-affiliated program, including the Bologna Diploma and the Hopkins-Nanjing Center for Chinese and American Studies Certificate, receive a 25% tuition fellowship on all summer courses. SAIS employees must use their tuition remission benefits before they can take advantage of this discount. Those who are continuing at SAIS in a degree program are not eligible for this discount. Non-degree courses taken with this alumni fellowship may not be applied to an additional SAIS degree program.

Fees

Application Fee: $50. This fee is required of first-time non-degree applicants only.

Late Fee: $35. Applications and registrations must include this fee if postmarked after the April 27, 2012, application deadline for all summer courses. First-time non-degree applicants who apply late must submit a total payment of $85.

Fees can be paid online by credit card during the application process. Those who cannot complete payment online should send a check, money order or cashier's check made payable to Johns Hopkins University-SAIS to the Office of Summer Programs.

No fee is required to use the Multimedia Center, but for damaged or unreturned materials a $40 fee will be charged to the student's account. The student's grades will be held if this fee has not been paid by August 10, 2012.

Sample Student Budget

Students coming to SAIS from abroad or elsewhere in the United States to enroll in SAIS Summer Programs should have approximately $6,400 to $7,500 available to cover the cost of tuition, fees, books, room and board and personal expenses. This estimate does not include travel or health care costs. The following is a sample budget:

Incoming SAIS degree students should note that the University Student Health Insurance Plan will not provide coverage until TBD. Students are responsible for finding and/or maintaining their own health insurance coverage during the summer program.

Payment Procedures

Payment in full is required for all programs no later than Monday, May 21, 2012. Tuition payments should be made electronically via https://isis.jhu.edu. Payment also can be mailed or made in person to the Office of Summer Programs. SAIS accepts MasterCard and VISA as well as checks, money orders and cashier's checks made payable to Johns Hopkins University-SAIS. No cash payments will be accepted. For bank wire transfer information, contact the SAIS Business Office at 202.663.5661.

Students will be dropped from courses they are registered in if payment has not been received by the deadline. If students wish to reenroll in these courses, they will be responsible for paying the late registration fee. Students who have been dropped for failure to pay, but who attend class without reenrolling, will be held responsible for the tuition charges, the appropriate late fee and may receive a failing grade for the course.

Refunds

Tuition is refundable only when the student submits a Drop/Add form to the Office of Summer Programs during the Drop/Add period. Please note that the application fee and 10% deposit on tuition are non-refundable. Refund amounts will be determined by the date and time the form is submitted according to the schedule listed below.

• Between 2pm on June 6 and 2pm on June 11: 50%

Course Cancellations
