Executive Education Refund Policy
All cancellation requests must be made in writing to Brown. Requests can be submitted to execeducation@brown.edu or initiated from the Student Portal of your Brown Registration Account.
You must submit a request to cancel your enrollment and receive a refund no later than 14 days prior to the course start date to receive a full refund. Refunds will be processed the same way the original payment was made and within 30 days following the receipt request.
If cancellation is requested less than 14 days prior to the course start date funds may be credited to the same course scheduled within the next 12 months. If the course price changes in the 12 months from the start of the course, you will be responsible for paying the price differential. If the course is not presented again within the 12-month window, you may apply the credit towards another course. All unclaimed credits expire at the end of 12 months from the start of the course.
If a cancellation is made after the course start date, no refund or credit will be granted.
If registrants cannot attend for extenuating reasons, the enrollment fee paid may be credited for a future course only after review and approval by Brown. (execeducation@brown.edu)
