The dates on which loan and scholarship funds will be posted to your student account are listed below. Refunds must be requested each time a credit is generated and this will take at least 3-5 days for your refund request to be processed after disbursement. Please note that if you complete your financial aid application after the deadline date, delay your loan acceptance decision, or do not return your completed promissory notes in a timely manner, the actual disbursement dates for your funds may be later than these dates.

**Please note: At the time of publication, the First-Year, MD'29 Health Insurance is an estimate.

Medical students are billed twice each academic year on a semester basis. The fall bill is available in early July and payment is due August 1. Spring bills are available in December and payment is due January 1.

The billing process is paperless with on-line statements available at the Brown Payments website and the Self-Service Banner (SSB). Students may make payments, view billing information and may add authorized users to view their student account statement.

For detailed instructions, please visit the Student Financial Services website. Billing questions should be addressed with the Student Financial Services Office (401-863-2484 or via email.)

Once funding has been credited to your 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 living expenses for a given semester. The amount of your credit balance will depend upon the aid amounts you accepted.

Refunds are available electronically by completing a Refund Request Form and setting up the request to a US checking or savings account through the Brown Payments website.  Students should receive the refund in their bank account 3-5 days from the date the request form is submitted.
