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, 2025. After this date, deposits are not refundable.
  • Review URI’s Financial Aid Checklist for information on how to apply for aid and navigate the FAFSA process.
  • Complete the Enrollment Services Summer To Do List before joining us on campus in the fall.

STEPS TO COMPLETE AFTER YOU HAVE PAID YOUR DEPOSIT

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. Please complete the training prior to July 31, 2025 and you will be entered into a raffle for some URI swag.

You will be added to an existing waitlist of other First-Year Student Post-Priority Housing applicants on a first-submitted, first-assigned basis.

MATH PLACEMENT

  • Take our math placement exam. Please allow one hour for the exam. The placement test results will be used to determine the most appropriate courses for you as you move forward with your college coursework. You will meet with an advisor at Orientation to discuss appropriate math courses based on your score. The exam is free and can be taken up to five times so take full advantage of it! The math placement website also features FAQs and information to help you understand your score.

STUDENT IDs (Pre-Orientation)

  • In order to have your student ID ready for pick-up at New Student Orientation, you must submit a photo of yourself via our campus card app. Please see these instructions on how to access the Atrium Campus Connect app on iPhone or Android devices, and how to upload your ID photo. Atrium Campus Connect will also serve as a virtual version of the ID card that you will receive at orientation.
  • Please email the Campus ID Office with any questions about your ID card. 

ADVISING (Pre-Orientation)

  • Complete your Advising Form before Orientation (for most students). This step will take you approximately 15 minutes. You’ll need a list of your high school courses and grades, as well as AP/IB/EEP information (if applicable). If you took dual enrollment college courses in high school, don’t forget to send us the official transcript from that college to receive credit. Be sure that you have first accessed your eCampus account and URI email before attempting to log in to Starfish.
