Admissions for Visiting Undergraduate Students: How to Apply

If you are a Commuter student, you can apply during one of the three application windows: Early Action, Regular Decision, or Extended Consideration.

Early Action
This is your first opportunity to secure an on-campus learning experience. When you submit all of your materials and the application fee by February 3, 2026, your application will be reviewed and a decision released on February 10, 2026. With your offer of admission, you will have until March 3, 2026 to accept the offer and submit the Initial Payment. Early action is your best opportunity to secure your place on campus for Summer 2026!

Regular Decision
This is the second application window you may select when you seek an on-campus learning experience. Your application will be reviewed when you submit all of your materials and the application fee between February 4 and March 10, 2026. Your decision will be released on March 17, 2026. If you receive an offer of admission, you will have until April 7, 2026 to accept the offer and submit your Initial Payment. Completing these steps is necessary to begin the course registration process. Until this process is completed, your preferred course or courses are subject to availability.

Extended Consideration
This final application window opens on March 11, 2026 and continues until Summer at Hopkins is no longer accepting Summer Term applications for 2026. Your materials and the application fee will be reviewed on a rolling basis and are subject to course availability. While decisions during this application window are typically released within 10 business days of your application’s submission, the first release occurs on April 14, 2026 and proceed forward on a rolling basis. Please submit your Initial Payment within the 21 days after you receive your offer of admission.

A rolling admissions process means that once you have submitted your application, it will be individually examined to confirm you meet the Admissions Criteria, and that you have provided all required supporting documents and the application fee.

An admissions decision will be sent to you approximately 10 business days from when you submit the application. If you receive an offer of admission, you will need to accept the offer and submit your Initial Payment within 21 days of when JHU released your offer. Completing these steps is necessary to begin the registration process. Until this process is completed, your preferred course or courses are subject to availability.

When you ask yourself, “how do I want to attend my preferred program?”, then you can determine what label applies to you for a given offering.

• You would be a Resident student if were able to live on-campus in a Johns Hopkins’ residence hall. Unfortunately, as a visiting undergraduate, you are not eligible to be a Resident student in 2026.
• You are a Commuter student if you have arranged to live off-campus at non-university-owned housing and you will travel to campus to attend classes in person.
• You are an Online student if you have arranged to live off-campus at non-university-owned housing and you will attend classes completely over the Internet.

Commuter students are subject to the Learning at Homewood Campus admissions timelines described above. Online students’ application reviews are conducted on a rolling basis.
