Affiliation Agreements & MOUs

When engaging with industry and community partners through experiential education, agreements and memorandums of understanding (MOU) are often entered into to support and outline the terms of the engagement. The URI Office of the General Counsel (OGC) is responsible for the coordination and management of all legal issues affecting the University including agreements and MOU’s.

• If you receive an agreement for a student internship or field experience site that requires a signature from URI, do not sign. Only individuals with signature authority are able to sign contract on behalf of the University.
• Review the OGC website including the Contract Review Protocol.
• Contact URI General Counsel at 874-4486 or ogc-service-request-group@uri.edu as soon as you receive an agreement or contract or with any questions.
