Conveya For International Payments

Johns Hopkins University has engaged Conveya to facilitate the receipt of student fees by the Johns Hopkins University from international students. This payment option allows students to pay the university their student account balance in the currency of your choice and provides a simple and secure method for initiating payments electronically. We encourage all international students to choose this cost effective and efficient method of payment to the Johns Hopkins University.

Do I have to pay my balance in full?

The University must receive the full AMOUNT DUE by the due date. If full payment is not received by this date registration and continuing enrollment may be denied. If JHU accepts payments that contain or reflect "paid in full", or other restrictive endorsements, JHU does not lose any of its rights to collect any amount due.

Can I pay in installments?

No. The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health does not offer payment plans/installment methods of payment.

What is FERPA law?
How do I set up a third-party payer for my account?

Students with third party payers—outside organizations sponsoring some or all of their tuition and fees—are required to submit documentation and complete a brief acknowledgement section on SIS Self Service. For detailed instructions and information, see http://jhu.edu/thirdpartypayer. This website includes information on how to upload the required documentation, along with FAQs and contact information for the JHU Third-Party Payer team.

Letter of Authorization from the Sponsor includes:

  1. Student’s name
  2. Student’s ID#
  3. Terms employer is covering
  4. Charges they will be responsible for
  5. Address where to send the bill
  6. Contact person’s name and telephone #
  7. Signature of appropriate officer (H.R., supervisor, etc . . .)
  8. Purchase order if required by employer
Can my employer pay at the end of the semester?

Employer reimbursement is not a method of payment for registration. You must make a personal payment at the time of registration and wait for your reimbursement from your employer.

How do I pay via tuition remission?

Am I required to have major medical insurance?

The School requires all students in a full-time degree program to have health coverage from matriculation to degree conferral. At the beginning of the academic year, all students in a full-time degree program are automatically enrolled in our Student Health Program. Students who have a waiver option who wish to waive enrollment in our Student Health Program must do so during Open Enrollment. Waivers are in effect for one year. Only providers that offer coverage for medical services rendered in the State of Maryland are considered acceptable alternates. For more information regarding your health insurance, please visit Student Affairs or submit a SEAM case.
