Federal Loans

The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA) requires that institutions participating in the federal student loan programs develop, publish and enforce a code of conduct with respect to students loans.

The following link details the university's code of conduct: Brown University Code of Conduct for Educational Loans

For information about processing loans please visit the University loan office website.

Students may apply to borrow two federal loans by filling out the FAFSA. These federal loans are the Direct unsubsidized and Graduate Plus loans. The most up-to-date information on the terms of federal loans can be found on this page on the Department of Education's site.

Please visit studentaid.gov to review the status of your federal loans and for more information on your loan servicers. Click here for guidance on how to locate your federal loan servicer.
