Refunds
Refund Process
Step 1
- Before submitting a refund request, students will setup Electronic Refund at https://payment.brown.edu. This method ensures secure and accurate processing of your refund.
- Federal Financial Aid recipients (including Federal Direct Loans for students & parents) - complete the Title IV Authorization form. (Parents have a separate form.)
Step 2
Submit a Student Account Refund Request Form no earlier than the start of the semester.
Important Tips
- Refunds are processed on or after the start of the semester.
- Refunds only include actual disbursements or payments received; anticipated aid or memo credits are not eligible to refund.
- Students without Electronic Refund setup to a U.S. checking or savings account will experience at minimum 7-10 day delay in their refund.
- See our Student Account Payment System Guide for help setting up Electronic Refund.
- Visit the Student Account Financial Policy for details related to refunds of overpayments.
