If you are new to the URI community or just need a refresher, these tips will help you make a smooth transition. From residential life and campus recreation, to events and opportunities to get involved, to campus resources, we have you covered.
Note:
- The housing database (offcampus.housing.uri.edu) is separate from the Office of Housing and Residential Life (HRL) and Fraternity Managers Association (FMA).
- Landlords use our off-campus housing database to advertise their properties to students, staff, and faculty at the university.
- Our office is not involved in the process of students signing leases with landlords who post properties with our service. This process is arranged between the student and the landlord.
- The town of Narragansett has specific restrictions; students be aware.
REMINDER: Narragansett Orange Sticker Policy
The Town of Narragansett’s “orange sticker” policy, also known as the “unruly gathering” ordinance, allows police to place orange stickers on houses deemed to be the site of public nuisances, such as excessive noise or gatherings, and to charge tenants and landlords for allowing such disturbances.
A gathering of five or more people on private property that constitutes a substantial disturbance is considered a public nuisance. Houses that are deemed to be the site of such disturbances can be marked with an orange sticker, and tenants and landlords can be charged for the disturbances. When a home receives an orange sticker, ALL renters will receive a court summons and a $500 fine.
Commuter Parking
Parking in Emporium lots discouraged
Students, faculty and staff are reminded that their University parking permits do not allow them to park their vehicles in the Kingston Emporium lot or the adjacent lot. These parking lots are privately permitted by the Emporium’s owner, and anyone without an Emporium permit risks having their vehicle ticketed or towed. Please take note.

We acknowledge that we gather as the University of Rhode Island on the traditional land of the Niantic and Narragansett people in past and present, and honor with gratitude the land itself and the people who have stewarded it throughout the generations. This calls us to commit to continuing to learn how to be better stewards of the land we inhabit as well.
