URI Housing Application Instructions

Eligibility & Duration of Occupancy:

Summer housing is provided for matriculated college students taking summer classes on the Kingston campus OR for students who work for the university 20 or more hrs/week at the Kingston or Narragansett Bay campuses during the summer months. Student housing accommodations are available to support students' academic endeavors while they are attending classes or engaged in internships. As such, Summer School students who are not involved in internship experiences or employed by URI during the month of August must leave their on-campus summer housing assignment upon completion of Summer Session 2. All remaining residents must leave their summer room assignment by Transfer Day, which is Friday, August 28th. Students who are approved to remain in Summer Housing through Transfer Day and who live in the residence halls during the academic year will be able to move into their academic year room assignment at this time.

Summer Housing Applications are available online at www.housing.uri.edu. Summer Housing applications for Interim Housing and Summer Session 1 are DUE by APRIL 30th. All applications submitted after April 30th for these sessions will be assigned on a space available basis.

Billing & Payment information:

Students are billed for the session(s) they have indicated on their application form. Housing fees are included on your Summer School bill. Students who are enrolled in summer school must make payments on their summer housing bill at the Bursar's Office in Enrollment Services. This office is located on the 2nd floor of Green Hall. Their office hours are 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM Monday through Friday. Payment for housing is to be made when paying your summer school bill. Residents are billed for the entire summer session for which they have applied at the rate stipulated on the Summer Housing application. Cancellations must be made prior to the end of the first week of each session to be reimbursed.

Some students have their housing paid through grants and/or the department for which they are employed. The Summer Housing Office bills these departments directly.
