If this is your first time registering for a course at the University of Rhode Island, welcome!

There are five steps to register for URI Winter J Term. Even if you have taken a course at URI before (or have previously applied to take one), please follow the instructions listed below to take a URI Winter J Term class this year as a non-matriculating student. 

  1. Complete the Non-Degree Application Form. If you see an error message, please try closing your browser (or using a different web browser or device) and then try again. If you continue to have trouble accessing the form, please email Sky Laurent-Kingsley for further troubleshooting. Please note, even if you have already completed a URI non-degree application form for a previous academic term (fall, spring, summer, or J Term), your existing URI e-Campus account will not be activated for course registration for this J Term until you have completed a new version of this application form specifically for the J Term 2025 term.

  2. Beginning in mid October, within three business days of the submission of your application form, you will receive your URI Student ID# via an email from Sky Laurent-Kingsley, Specialist for URI Summer Sessions & Winter J Term. Be sure to check your spam folder for receipt of this notification. If this is your first time applying to take a course at URI, you will then use your URI ID# to register for e-Campus, URI’s student information system. To create your e-Campus account, visit https://web.uri.edu/ecampus/ and click on the “New e-Campus User Registration” link. You will create a username and password.
  3. Follow these step-by-step instructions for enrolling in URI courses via e-Campus.
  4. You will be able to access your uri.edu email address within several hours of your URI Winter J Term course registration. For instructions on accessing your uri.edu Google Workspace account, visit the URI ITS Google Workspace webpage. The username you select for e-Campus will also serve as your URI email User ID. Your G-Suite password will be the password you created in e-Campus registration, or your very first e-Campus password. You are encouraged to change your password at https://password.uri.edu/. You will be prompted to change your password at first login. URI Enrollment Services will use your uri.edu email to notify you when your e-Bill is ready to view and pay in e-Campus, your professor will use it to alert you of important class information, and URI administrators will use it for URI Winter J Term notifications. If you encounter any issues related to your URI e-Campus or uri.edu accounts, please contact the URI IT Service Desk at 401-874-4357 or helpdesk@uri.edu. You can also visit the Virtual Service Desk for assistance. 
  5. Make sure your full-time university or college will accept the credits you earn through URI Winter J Term courses. Your school will have an online database of courses accepted for credit from outside institutions and a transfer credit form that you will need to complete and submit to your school if you plan to take a URI course that has not been previously accepted by your school. Completing such a form often requires a course syllabus and/or URI course description. Search all official URI Course Descriptions here. For a copy of a URI syllabus, email the instructor listed for the class. You can visit the URI Faculty/Staff Directory to lookup the appropriate email address.
