Online Student Account Payments

The Brown Student Account Payment System -- payments.brown.edu -- allows actively enrolled students to manage and make payments towards their student account balances. Students may also create Authorized Users (e.g., parents or guardians) to access and pay their student account balances. For more information about the Brown Student Account Payment System, authorized user setup, and the student account billing schedule, visit Student Accounts and Billing

Alternative Methods for Student Account Payments

While online payments via the Brown Student Account Payment System are preferred, payments for student account charges are also accepted by check (drawn on a U.S. bank account) or international wire transfer. 

• By Check: All check payments must be sent to Brown University Cashier Office, Box 1911, Providence, RI 02912. Do not send payments directly to the Bursar Office. Checks should be made payable in US dollars and must not be post-dated. Third party checks will not be accepted with the exception of checks from banks, trusts and investment companies purposely set up to fund a student's education. 
• By International Wire Transfer: Flywire is Brown University's preferred method of payment for international student account payments. Students/families are able to track payments via Flywire's dashboard and receive notifications when the payment is received by Brown University. Visit Brown.flywire.com to make an international student account payment.
• Installment Payment Plan: The Installment Payment Plan (IPP) enables Undergraduate, Graduate, Medical students, and their families to make interest-free monthly installments to cover each semester’s tuition, housing, meals and required fees. 
• Third-party Payment: Third-party payment may be received from a domestic or foreign company, corporation, state or government agency that has been granted special billing arrangements to cover tuition and other fees for students that they sponsor.  Third-party payments should have a letter from the sponsor including the student name, student Banner ID number and semester to which the funds should apply. Payments must be made in USD and payable to Brown University.  All checks must be mailed to Brown University Cashier Office, Box 1911, Providence, RI 02912.
• Financial Aid: The Office of Financial Aid  assists undergraduate and graduate students in understanding all aspects of the financial aid application processes for federal, state and institutional need-based grants and loans.  The Alpert Medical School (AMS) Office of Financial Aid is dedicated to assisting students who may not have the financial resources to meet the full cost of attending medical school.
