Room Assignments

Spring Interim Housing / Senior Week  TBD

Summer Session 1 room assignments are available through your MyHousing account by May 6, 2022.

Affiliates will have their room assignments emailed to them by May 12, 2021. Rooms are assigned on a first come first serve basis as space is available.

Summer Session 2 room assignments will be posted on your MyHousing account by June 22, 2022. Room assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis based on apartment availability.

Please note: It is the Department of Housing and Residential Life’s (HRL’s) prerogative to assign residents to their respective buildings and rooms to achieve the highest and best use of available space. Summer Housing staff may consolidate room assignments after the end of Summer Session 2 for building maintenance and preparation purposes.

Duration of Occupancy

Summer Housing accommodations are available to support students’ academic endeavors while they are attending summer classes or are engaged in summer internships.

All students must vacate their assigned room by the end of their session, internship, and/or employment.

All remaining interns and employees must vacate their summer room assignment by the Transition Day (August 18, 2022). Students who are approved to remain in Summer Housing through Transition Day and who live in the residence halls during the academic year will be able to move directly into their academic year room assignment on August 19, 2022.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Students who will not be living in the residence halls for the 2022 fall semester must make alternative housing arrangements between Transition Day and the start of the school year if they need to work on campus during these weeks. These students should consider finding alternative housing for the summer which can accommodate them through their fall housing move in date. Questions pertaining to room availability in fraternities and sororities during the summer should be directed to Fraternity Manager’s Association at 401-874-2557. The Commuter Housing Office can also assist with finding accommodations in the area. They can be reached at 401-874-2828.

Student Status

Each Summer Housing resident must maintain their status as a student, student employee or other affiliation at/with the University of Rhode Island to meet eligibility criteria. Violations of community standards or inappropriate behavior in and around any residence may result in the loss of one’s ability to live on campus as well as the loss of their employment (if applicable). When submitting a Summer Housing Application, the applicant deems that all information is true and that they agree to the terms and conditions as set forth in the URI Student Handbook and the Summer Housing Agreement.

Summer Housing bills must be paid in Enrollment Services, which is located on the 2nd floor of Green Hall. Enrollment Services office hours are 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM Monday through Friday. Residents are billed for the entire Summer Session for which they have applied at the rates stipulated above.

IN ADDITION, room assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis, and students will be billed at the established rate of the accommodations that they move into as opposed to the room type they requested on their application.
