Your advising meeting connects your transfer credits, major requirements, and first-semester course options. It is also the best time to ask how pending credits, current courses, prerequisites, course sequencing, and degree requirements may affect your URI schedule.
If your transfer credits are still pending, you can still begin preparing. Gather unofficial transcripts, current course information, and syllabi or course descriptions for any courses that may need additional review.
If you are unsure where to begin, John Rooney, Assistant Director, Transfer Student Success, can help identify the appropriate advising next step.
Before You Schedule
Review your URI email, eCampus, Starfish, and transfer credit information before requesting an advising appointment. Confirm what has been posted, what may still be pending, and what questions you need answered before registration.
Advising Tools
| Tool | Use It For |
|---|---|
| Transfer Credit | Review transfer credit information, transcript guidance, and re-evaluation steps. |
| Advising by Major | Find advising information connected to your major or college. |
| Starfish | Locate advising resources and scheduling tools when available. |
| MyApps / eCampus | Access student records, registration tools, and posted academic information. |
| Student Gateway | Access common URI tools and student resources. |
When requesting help with advising or registration, include enough information to make the appointment useful. Be sure to include in your correspondence the following:

- Any missing, pending, or unexpected transfer credits
- Any specific registration questions
- Your general availability for an appointment
Connect with Your Advisor
As a transfer student, your advising meeting is an important step in understanding how your credits apply toward your URI degree. This includes identifying remaining requirements and planning a schedule that aligns with your goals and transfer experience. You should bring a copy of your unofficial transcript, questions about your transfer credits, and ideas about your academic and career interests. We may still be awaiting the final transcript(s) to post all of your credits. Be prepared to discuss your most recent coursework.
