Installment Payment Plan
Installment Payment Plan Details
Students and families may choose to enroll in Brown's Installment Payment Plan (IPP) to pay one semester's expenses, interest-free, over scheduled monthly installments. The IPP includes all student account charges and simplifies the payment of miscellaneous charges (such as bookstore, pharmacy, health services charges, library, lost ID, and parking charges, etc). Any adjustments to charges, disbursement of financial aid, or payments made to the student account will adjust the remaining installments equally.
Important Enrollment Guidelines
- The non-refundable enrollment fee is deducted from the selected bank account at the time of enrollment.
- U.S. personal checking or savings account is required.
- The prescribed installment payment dates are fixed and cannot be changed.
- One returned payment will result in cancellation of the IPP.
- The IPP is for one-semester only, it does not cover the full academic year.
- If an optional down payment is made, this does not replace the first monthly installment. See the Student Account Payment System Guide for more information on down payments.
Important Notes if choosing to pay by credit card

- If you enroll in the Installment Payment Plan (IPP) and use credit card for the scheduled installments, the credit card fees will be applied to each installment individually at the rates shown above. The credit card fee rates are also displayed throughout the IPP enrollment process. Credit card fee amount displayed on the “Review Payment” page during enrollment is based on the initial payment only (enrollment fee; down payment).
