Student Accounts and Billing

Actively enrolled students have access to view, pay, and manage their student account online. Our EBill & Payment User Guide below helps students and authorized users navigate the student account payment system.

Student Account Charges and Credits

The student account itemizes all charges and/or credits submitted by University departments for the term. Charges that may appear on the students account include Tuition & Fees, Health Insurance, Housing, Dining, Bookstore charges (optional), Library Fines, Pharmacy Fees, Athletics Equipment Fees, and International Program Fees.

Questions about a specific charge should be directed to the office responsible for that charge (housing, dining, bookstore, pharmacy, library, etc). Student Financial Services should be contacted for questions about accessing your account, payment options, late payment charges, and refunds.

Brown Student Account Payment System

Student accounts can be managed online via the Brown Student Account Payment System.

The Account Activity page provides real time information about your account balance. Any charges or credits posted after the billing dates will be reflected in the online Account Activity page. An email notification will be sent to alert students to new charges or credits. Please monitor your Brown email for important updates.

The Billing Statement provides a snapshot of your account balance at the time the statement was produced. Billing statements are only available electronically; no paper billing statements are produced.

Students are encouraged to grant Authorized User access to family members who wish to view and pay their student account. Once setup, authorized users can (based on the student's preferences):

Billing Sponsors of Outside Scholarships

The majority of outside scholarship sponsors/agencies will accept a copy of the student account statement which the student may print/save from the Student Account Payment System. If the outside scholarship agency specifically requires a special billing invoice, the student must send our office written confirmation of the scholarship and a request for a special billing invoice. The student account statement cannot be addressed to a scholarship sponsor. Our team will prepare a billing invoice and forward it directly to the sponsor. It is the student’s responsibility to follow up with the sponsor to ensure funds are received promptly by the University.

Additional Information

Refunds

Student Account credit balance refunds are processed on or after the start of the semester. Please wait to submit refund requests until the start of the semester.

IRS Form 1098-T

The 1098-T is a statement that colleges and universities are required to issue to certain students. It provides the total dollar amount paid by the student for what is referred to as qualified tuition and related expenses in a single tax year. The information on form 1098-T can be used to help you determine if you are eligible for education tax credits when filing a U.S. tax return.

Taxation for International Students

International students who are recipients of a Brown University Scholarship and/or any outside scholarships should review this important information regarding the potential tax implications.
