  • Special Update Regarding Nonresident Course Enrollment Exceptions (October 2017)
    Nonresident students are awarded the same privileges as all full-time students –there are no additional restrictions on access to campus, faculty advising or JHU services for those with this status. In addition, Nonresident students should receive their annual review. However, Nonresident students are not permitted to enroll in any courses, with three exceptions –under certain circumstances and with advanced permission from their respective Office of Graduate Academic Affairs, (1) international students who file for Curricular Practical Training F1 (CPT1) through the Office of International Services may register for a course entitled “Research and Teaching Practicum” (KSAS) or “Engineering Research Practicum” (WSE),  and (2, 3) students who due to circumstances outside their control were unable to complete the Responsible Conduct of Research course and/or WSE Academic Ethics course before the final semester of their degree may be permitted to enroll in these courses while in a Nonresident status. As (2) and (3) will only be granted as a special exception, there will be no additional tuition charge for these courses.
