All enrolled students are billed student charges for applicable tuition, fees, and other related costs. In some cases, students receive support through financial aid, through the Grad School, or through additional sources. Students are ultimately responsible for ensuring that all applicable support is posted to their student account and all remaining balances are paid in a timely manner. Unpaid balances are subject to late fines and other financial policies.

Be aware that support through the Grad School typically does not include support for fees. Often the student is responsible for paying fees such as the Grad Student Activity Fee and the Grad Student Recreation Fee. The payment deadline for the Fall term is August 1 and the Spring Term is January 1. If your anticipated support from the Grad School has not been posted to your student account, you must contact your department advisor for assistance.Only your department has the ability to make support decisions and to instruct the Grad School of your award. Stipends are paid directly to the student and are not posted to the student account. Check with your department advisor as to when and how often you will receive your stipend payments. Contact your Grad School department advisor for details regarding your support. Contact our team with additional questions about your student account charges and/or balance.

The tuition protection plan is a tuition insurance plan available to all Brown University students on an optional basis. This is a private insurance program managed by GradGuard that supplements the University’s refund policy. The plan provides a refund for tuition, fees, and housing and meal charges up to the purchased policy limit if a student is unable to complete a semester due to a covered medical reason. For more information and to enroll, visit the GradGuard website or call 1.866.724.4384.

The installment payment plan is calculated per semester. You must enroll separately for each semester (Fall and Spring) that you wish to use the IPP.

The IPP enrollment fee is charged per enrollment (one semester). As you complete the enrollment process, you will see this fee listed as a Finance Charge or Setup Fee. There are no other financing costs or interest associated with the IPP.

All charges posted to the student account for the term will be included in the payment plan. The payment plan will recalculate each time charges or credits are added to the student account.

Students with a previous semester balance over $500 are prevented from enrolling in IPP. Students will need to clear the past due balance first, and can then enroll in IPP. Students with a previous semester balance of $500 or less may enroll in the IPP and that balance will be included in the total IPP amount.

Payers enrolled in Brown’s Installment Payment Plan (IPP) with one returned payment due to insufficient funds within the plan period will be removed from the IPP and will need to make other payment arrangements.

International students can enroll with a U.S. savings or checking account.

During IPP enrollment, you must create a saved payment method and schedule payments to be automatically deducted from a personal U.S checking or savings account on the date of each required payment. Other types of bank accounts, including international, commercial/business, line-of-credit, or credit card accounts are not accepted. IPP participants will receive reminder emails before each installment is automatically withdrawn from the designated U.S. personal checking or savings account.

See the EBill & Payment User Guide for instructions. Contact our team for further assistance as needed.

Charges and credits to the student account will impact the amount of scheduled installments. Students and authorized users will be notified each time an installment amount changes. 

You must contact the department responsible for the charge (housing, dining, library, etc) and discuss the dispute with them directly. Please keep your Student Account Representative informed of the status of the dispute. All charges are included in the IPP, if/when a disputed charge is removed from the account the IPP will recalculate to a new amount.

If the 529/scholarship was a memo credit on your student account at the time you enrolled in IPP, then your installment amount will not change. If this is a new 529/scholarship amount, then your remaining installments will be adjusted equally.

When aid is expected to pay the student account, a temporary memo credit is placed on the account. If the funds are not received by October 15 (for fall) or by February 15 (for spring), then the memo expires and your remaining IPP installments will increase accordingly. You will be responsible for the student account balance. You are responsible for making sure that all anticipated funds are paid to the student account in a timely manner.

If the Health Insurance charge is removed after you enroll in IPP, the remaining installment payments will be recalculated and your payment amounts will be reduced.
