SAT/ACT Update

The results from either the old or new SAT or ACT with writing will be required for all freshman applicants.  

For the fall 2006 entering class, the essay portion of the new SAT or ACT with optional essay will not be used for admission decisions.  The university plans to assess what correlation exists between the essay score and first year experience before rendering a final decision.

The admission review committee will always consider the best results of either test in assessment of each undergraduate application. Further, it is important for applicants to understand that entrance examination scores are only one factor in the overall admission process.


Feinstein Providence Campus Option!

Princeton Review Accolade

Recently named by Princeton Review as “A College with a Conscience,” URI students have unselfishly volunteered their time to numerous organizations throughout Rhode Island. With more than 70 community partners in the state, our students have provided a range of services to both local and national organizations like Habitat for Humanity and Jumpstart, a national early childhood program.


Scholarship Scams

Every year, several hundred thousand students are defrauded by scholarship scams often imitating legitimate grant-giving foundations, education lenders and scholarship matching services, using names containing words like "National," "Federal," "Foundation," or "Administration."
