Postdoctoral Fellows in the School of Medicine may register without being charged tuition for the ESL Summer Program only. Registration for summer courses will require the postdoctoral fellow to first visit the School of Medicine Registrar’s Office to obtain a Verification of Enrollment form. Failure to obtain this form prior to registration will result in the student being billed for tuition fees. SOM enrollment forms should be sent directly to esl@jhu.edu along with the ESL online application.
