Refund Process

Once funding has been credited to your Bursar student account and all Brown charges have been paid for the semester, your account may reflect a credit balance. Credit balances are intended to cover part or all of living expenses for a given semester. The amount of your credit balance will depend upon the aid amounts that you have accepted.

Students now have the capability to get their refunds electronically!  By requesting a refund via our new online Refund Request Form, and setting up the request to receive the refund in a US checking or saving account at payment.brown.edu, students will receive refunds in a quick, convenient manner.  Students should receive the refund in their account 3-5 days from the date the request form is submitted.

 

This process will reduce the amount of paper checks the University prints, and assist students in receiving their refunds in a quicker time period.  We are excited about this change and hope all students take advantage of this convenient process!
