NEWS:
A prorated credit for room and meals for students who moved off campus due to COVID-19 in Spring 2020 will be applied to student accounts no later than Monday, April 6.
Each prorated credit is based on the following:
● a student’s individual room and meal charges;
● 50% remaining in the spring semester; and
● for aided students, a prorated calculation based on individual parent contribution to the standard annual cost of attendance ($77,590).
The policy for credits has been established under Brown’s shifted operations for housing and dining, as outlined on the University’s COVID-19 website.
For students (or authorized users) enrolled in the spring 2020 Installment Payment Plan (IPP), a reduction will be made to the final payment that will be drafted from the designated bank account on April 10, 2020.
In addition, a 50% credit for the spring 2020 recreation fee will be applied to each student's account by Friday, April 24, 2020.
For students with a balance due on your student account prior to this credit, the credit will be applied toward that balance due.
If this room and board adjustment creates a credit balance on your student account, the student account credit balance will be applied to the next semester’s charges.
