Wire Payments

Johns Hopkins accepts international payments via Flywire or Convera (formerly Western Union). With these trusted and secure payment vendors, international students worldwide can easily make education payments, typically in their own currency.  View detailed Flywire instructions or Convera instructions.

Benefits of each company:

• • Pay using accounts from your home country, outside of the U.S. For most countries, you pay in your home currency and funds will be sent in $USD directly to JHU.
  • Use various payment methods that range from bank transfer, credit cards, e-payment, and more for most countries and territories.
  • Receive favorable foreign exchange rates and avoid unnecessary bank fees.
  • Track your payment until it reaches JHU.
  • Avoid the delays of a traditional wire transfer caused by manual posting or lack of reference information to direct the payment to your account.

(Your JHED is the assigned username that you use when you log in to the JHU system. New students should have received an email containing their JHED ID.)

• Funding for your J-Card (debit card) cannot be budgeted through the Nelnet Payment Plan.  
• Refunds for any over payments to the plan will be processed after the payment plan contract has been fulfilled.  
• Students/parents can adjust your monthly payment plan if excess funds are on your student account to avoid waiting for a refund.

• Students are financially responsible for dropped courses paid for with tuition remission. Students receiving tuition remission benefits from JHU should read the contract carefully, as you must complete the class to retain benefits.

Homewood graduate students completing a final degree during the first eight weeks of the fall semester or the first four weeks of the spring semester will generate a tuition reimbursement for that semester to whatever entity covered the cost—the student, the department, the advisor, etc. This applies only to students for whom completion of a master’s project, master’s essay, master’s journal submission, or doctoral thesis is the sole remaining degree requirement at the start of the final semester. (NOTE: If a student completes a Tuition Deferral Form indicating an expectation to complete the degree within a specific grace period, no payment is required to register for that semester. If the grace period deadline is not met, however, that semester’s tuition charge will be added to the student’s account.)

• Application for Deferral (Fall)
• Application for Deferral (Spring)
