Legal & Risk Management

To help ensure accurate tracking of URI Experiential Learning offerings connect with the CCEE (Sarah Miller) or your College/Department Experiential Office or Coordinator when you add or are considering adding an experiential component to a course.

Affiliation Agreements & MOUs

When engaging with industry and community partners through experiential education, agreements and memorandums of understanding (MOU) are often entered into to support and outline the terms of the engagement. The URI Office of the General Counsel (OGC) is responsible for the coordination and management of all legal issues affecting the University including agreements and MOU’s.

  • If you receive an agreement for a student internship or field experience site that requires a signature from URI, do not sign.
  • Review the OGC website including the Contract Review Protocol.
  • An agreement or contract signed by an unauthorized individual will not be considered binding on the University of Rhode Island. It will be considered to be a personal agreement or contract binding on the person who signed it.
  • Please contact URI General Counsel at 874-4486 or ogc-service-request-group@uri.edu with questions regarding agreements and contracts.
