Do you have prior student loans? 

To avoid delays in enrollment certification, student who have pre-med loans are encouraged to complete the Federal Loan In-School Loan Deferment Form. Be sure to complete the student sections 1, 2, 3, and 7 (INCLUDE the name and address of your loan servicers).
 
Once your section is completed, be sure to send this directly to the Medical School Records and Registration Department at ams-records@brown.edu for verification of your enrollment.
 
If you have institutional/private loans from your undergraduate institution, please contact your school/private lender to retrieve their In-School Deferment Forms.
