Refunds
Refund Process
Visit the Student Account Financial Policy for details related to refunds of overpayments.
Student Account credit balance refunds are processed on or after the start of the semester.
Step 1
Students must setup eRefund at https://payment.brown.edu (U.S. personal checking or savings account only). See our Student Account Payment System Guide for help. This must be done BEFORE submitting the refund request form below.
Students receiving federal financial aid must complete the Title IV Authorization form through Banner Self Service to designate how those funds are applied to their student account charges.
Step 2
Submit a Student Refund Request Form no earlier than the start of the semester. Refunds will be processed on or after the start of the semester and will only include credit balances that are a result of actual aid disbursements or payments on the student account. (Anticipated aid or temporary memo credits are not eligible to be refunded.)
Brown's preferred method for refunding credit balances is electronic ACH to your designated U.S. personal checking or savings account (eRefund). This method ensures timely and accurate processing of your eligible refund. Students without eRefund setup will experience at least a 7-10 day delay in the processing of their refunds.
