Textbooks, Supplies, and Other Expenses

Students purchase their own textbooks and supplies. The cost of these materials is approximately $1,000 annually. Rhode Island College furnishes a stated maximum of special materials for certain technology education and fine arts courses. Students who use these materials in excess of the amount must meet the additional costs themselves.

Commuting students are responsible for the cost of transportation and meals, which can run from $1,200 to $1,750 annually. Students should also expect to pay up to $1,000 per year for clothing, entertainment, and other personal expenses, depending, of course, on their style of living.

An optional plan for accident and sickness insurance is available to students at a nominal rate. Details may be obtained from College Health Services.
