Move-In Guide

We are actively working on details for Fall 2025 move in! Here are the dates to mark your calendars now! More detailed Move-In Directions will be confirmed as we get closer to these dates.

2025 Move-In Dates

  • Incoming first year students will move in Friday, August 29th or Saturday, August 30st.
  • Incoming transfer students will move in on the day their building is scheduled to open.
  • Returning students will move in mostly on Sunday August 31st and Monday September 1st. Limited timeslots will also be made available on Saturday, August 30th as detailed below.
  • Students will be able to select their specific move-in times in late July/early August. Please stay tuned to your uri.edu email over the summer for further details as they become available.

Move-In Schedule

An early arrival request process will be available in early August.

Please note, approved early arrivals may incur additional costs.

These estimated rates will also be made available as the request form goes live.
If you need a later move-in date, no worries!

Your ID and PIN will be active for move-in once your building has opened.

Please be advised that our staff will be assisting move- in at other buildings but we will have someone available in the staff office should you encounter any issues.

Meal plans will begin on August 29th, but perhaps with restricted service. 

Students who may be participating in some URI special programs (e.g. Athletics, Band, Chinese Flagship, Leadership, ROTC, etc.) may have the opportunity to move in earlier than their buildings assigned date. Students should work with their program coordinator for details, including possible additional costs.
