My ds heard as well. OOS, College of Arts and Sciences undeclared, no merit $. We weren’t expecting anything since while it wasn’t a reach for him, it wasn’t a sure thing either.

My daughter was admitted quite some time ago but we have only ever gotten a portal notification. Do they ever send an actual acceptance package by mail? When my son got in a few years back we got the “big envelope” letter.
I was just coming here to ask the same thing! Do they actually get a physical acceptance?
For those who were accepted - did you receive an email or were you just diligently monitoring the portal?
Yes, you will get an email that there has been an update to your application status

Just email to check portal. Nothing in the mail.
So no official physical letter? Where do they list merit etc?
Not sure if something will follow in the mail.

My son was accepted mid December and received a physical letter a few weeks later.
My son received merit information in his acceptance email. He has not received anything in regular mail.
Do you know if URI sends any acceptance snail mail? I was told no letters are mailed but wondering if pkgs for accepted students come like from other schools? Thx 
My daughter was accepted in December and has yet to get any letter by mail. She did get a little flyer but no formal letter. When my son was accepted, just a few years ago, he did receive a letter so we were expecting the same here.

My son was accepted and did not get a mailed acceptances packet. He only got a small pamphlet style mailing with “You’re In!” on the cover and most recently, a cardboard folded mailing saying that he has been selected to join the Honors Program. But no personalized packets with financials or anything.

do we think they have more decisions coming/when do we think that’ll be?

Still wondering about merit… do we know when they decide? Our FAFSA came in Jan so a bit late… just heard from another school re $ b/c they waited until FAFSA even though they said they didn’t.
Anyone still waiting on merit?

Merit would be in the acceptance letter. Additional institutional grants, federal loans, etc. will be spelled out when the final aid pkg is complete. My assumption would be that no merit is being offered if it’s not in the acceptance letter. My ds20 received a merit scholarship at the time of acceptance and it was on on the acceptance letter. There was no mention of it for ds22. URI publishes their gpa/test score thresholds for merit $ so if your child falls within their ranges for merit $ I would contact admissions to inquire.
He does so I’ll ask next week. Thx!
Ps the other school who he got merit from does same, puts it in acceptance letter. Except they didn’t for him and he found out only after FAFSA 
Almost 3 months after he got in
