2025-26 Estimated Undergraduate Cost of Attendance (COA)*

What’s included in my COA?
Your cost of attendance is made up of two types of costs:

• Direct costs are items that will appear on your URI bill, such as tuition, fees, and University housing and food costs (meal plan). Off campus housing, although not on the bill, is also included. 
• Indirect costs will not appear on your bill but are estimated costs associated with going to college and should be included in your budget. These include items like books, transportation, and personal expenses.

Please choose the appropriate 2025-26 Cost of Attendance Table below for your determined residency.  This table is to assist you in determining your overall costs to attend The University of Rhode Island.

The total costs for tuition and fees shown below do not include financial aid or scholarships. The costs for housing and food are an estimated average amount and can vary based upon housing assignment and food plan chosen.
