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.
