Repay Your Loans
Your Loans & Refunds: If you have borrowed loans and your student account has a credit balance (overpaid), think about reducing the amount you've borrowed. If you don't need the full amount, send a detailed email to loans@brown.edu to reduce your loans and lower your student loan debt. If you actually need the full amount, request an electronic student account refund through the Bursar's Office.
