We are here to assist you with all of your healthcare needs as you begin your URI career. To get started, there are a few important health requirements all new students must complete. Please finish the items below by July 10, 2026. The process takes about 10–15 minutes—getting it done now will help you start your college journey smoothly and avoid last-minute stress.
Required Steps
Step 1: Health Insurance (complete within this time frame: July 7–Sept 1)

Follow the instructions below if you would like to waive or enroll in the school insurance:
- Go to https://uri.myahpcare.com/ and select “Waive (Opt-Out)” or “Begin Enrollment.”
- If you waive the school insurance, you MUST enter your health insurance information in the patient portal under the Insurance tab.
- If you enroll in the school insurance on the AHP website, you MUST also enter your school insurance information in the patient portal.
Step 2 : Log into the URI Health Services Patient Portal
Go to the Patient Portal, and click on “I have a URI.edu email address.” Then under the URI Health Services heading, select the “Get Started” button.

- Physical Examination Form (recommended if completed in the last 18 months)
- Immunization Record – Only if you had to enter your vaccination dates
Step 5: Complete Required Forms under the Forms tab.
