Accommodations for Applicants Facing Extenuating Circumstances

Brown recognizes that applicants may be affected by severe circumstances that might make it difficult to complete and submit an application by the specified deadline.

To support students facing extreme conditions, we offer some flexibility to prospective PhD and master's students who may be impacted by:

  • Natural disasters (e.g. wildfires, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods)
  • Political unrest or armed conflict
  • Sweeping network or power outages
  • Widespread health/human safety issues

If you are affected by any of these circumstances, we hope that you and those you care about are safe and well. For applicants that may be impacted by such situations, we offer the following information that may be helpful:
