Welcome to Johns Hopkins University’s Master of Science in Regulatory Science Program! Important Registration Dates Course Enrollment We recommend that students register for courses as soon as possible once registration opens. Courses fill up quickly and early registration helps us determine if more course sections are necessary. NOTE: To maintain their visa status, students with an F-1 visa may be required to be enrolled in a minimum of three courses each Fall and Spring term, of which only one can be an online course. If you are an international student, we do not recommend planning to complete the program onsite as the number of onsite courses are limited.
