Refund Appeals Request Form

Summer at Hopkins Refund Appeals Policy

We understand that unexpected emergencies, such as injuries, visa-related challenges, or other personal hardships, may arise and impact a student’s ability to fully participate in the program. In such cases, students or their families may submit a refund appeals form to request consideration for prorated refunds.

The appeals process takes into account unused housing, dining, and tuition/fees, and each request is carefully reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Supporting documentation (e.g., medical records, travel documents, or other relevant materials) may be required to ensure a thorough evaluation.

Please note that while we aim to be as accommodating as possible, all decisions regarding refunds are guided by our program policies and the specific circumstances of the request. Students and families remain responsible for any external costs related to health care, travel, or accommodations.

The Johns Hopkins University Summer and Intersession Programs adheres to a strict refund policy and all refunds will be issued in accordance with set guidelines. A student may only appeal the University summer or intersession refund policy for the following reasons:

1. Illness, injury, or medical condition that prevents you from attending class.
2. In rare cases, extreme unforeseen circumstances outside your control that would prevent you from attending class.

Please note that the initial payment for pre-college students or visiting undergraduates is non-refundable after May 19.

Appeals can be initiated by filling out the Summer/Intersession Programs Tuition Refund Appeals Form and submitting it to the Office of Summer and Intersession Programs. Students appealing for medical or injury reasons should include a note from a health professional explaining the medical situation. Appeals for other reasons should include any documentation that you may have to support your appeal. An Appeals Committee will review appeals.
