First-Year Checklist

STEPS TO COMPLETE AFTER YOU HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED

Complete your Enrollment Confirmation Form. This will let us know your plans for the upcoming semester. Once you submit your form, you’ll be able to pay your enrollment deposit via your admitted student portal. If you don’t plan to enroll at URI, you can also let us know that through the form.

Log into your admitted student portal to pay your deposit (NOT required for Talent Development Scholars). Once you complete your Enrollment Confirmation Form, you can pay your enrollment deposit by clicking the link in the checklist in your portal. Be sure to share your excitement by using #InAtURI on social media!
- An enrollment deposit confirms your intent to attend URI. The deposit is $300 for commuters or $500 if you plan to live in a residence hall. Note that enrollment and housing deposits are refundable until May 1. After this date, deposits are not refundable.

SET UP ACCOUNTS AND LOG-IN

Set-up your eCampus account.
Note: Students must complete this step before proceeding to the next steps.
After you make your deposit and receive your URI ID number, you should set up your eCampus account through the eCampus registration system. You’ll need to enter your first name, last name, and student ID number. You’ll then receive a username and create an eCampus password — keep these somewhere safe! Watch our video on how to register for eCampus.

Set up your Single Sign-On (SSO) password
For most students, your SSO account will be active and ready for you 2 hours after you set up your eCampus account, but you must set up your Single Sign-On (SSO) password to complete the process. Your URI SSO gives you convenient, secure access to many URI applications — so don’t forget this step! Make sure you also set up DUO Two-factor Authentication, as this is required for the SSO login.
- Once complete, you can start using your new URI SSO to access all of your key programs and systems through MyApps. These include, but are not limited to eCampus, your URI Gmail account, Microsoft tools, and Brightspace.
Contact the IT Service desk if you have questions or need assistance. NOTE: URI will no longer support Windows 10 machines beginning September 2025.

Access URI Email: After setting up your SSO, you can go to gmail.com and log in with your URI SSO credentials to start using your URI email and all of our key programs and systems.
Complete your Student Financial Responsibility Agreement. This step is mandatory for all URI students. The agreement clearly explains our policies related to e-billing, late payment penalties, contact methods, etc. You will need to log into eCampus, click the Financial Responsibility Agreement item in your To-Do List, and follow the steps provided. (Note: Follow the link above. Do not try to log into eCampus financials.)
Complete your cybersecurity training. Cybersecurity awareness training is critical in minimizing the serious cybersecurity threats posed to end users by phishing attacks and social engineering.
