2009-2010 Loan Disbursement Dates

The dates on which loan and scholarship funds are available to you as a refund are listed below. 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 way, the actual disbursement dates for your loans may be later than these dates.

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 occur when the semester financial aid exceeds the semester billed charges. They 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.

In order to receive a refund check for this overpayment, you will need to complete a Refund Request Form. This form is available on the Bursar’s site under Forms and Publications. Alternatively, you may complete a paper request form available in the Bursar's Office and Office of Financial Aid. Please note that for new students the refund form will be completed during the first year orientation program. We recommend that you submit your request by the first day of class each semester. To expedite your refund, we also recommend that you indicate on the refund form that you would like your check to be held for pick up in the Cashier's Office rather than to have it mailed to you.
