The student housing buildings are gender-segregated and specific building allocations are based on student enrollment and availability. Please read the student housing policies before requesting housing.

• No check-in without a housing request submitted and confirmed by RIT staff via email. It’s the student’s responsibility to notify the Student Affairs office of a change in check-in date and to notify the housing staff directly of the check-out date 48 hours in advance. Failure to do so will result in a delayed check-out and additional fees if after the semester move-out date.
• Please note that if you move into housing before the check-in dates, you will be charged a daily rate charge.
• All housing residents are required to inspect their room and apartment shared living spaces to record any damages or issues prior to signing the check-in form and officially taking responsibility for the housing allocation.
• If you do not check out of housing by the semester deadline, you will be charged a daily rate until the start of the new semester. Once the semester starts, the housing charges will be semester-based.
• Co-op students who require housing are charged a daily rate unless full semester housing is required.
• All housing residents are responsible for their guests (both RIT and non-RIT guests.)
• Student housing has designated smoking areas and the residences are non-smoking.
• Please note that student housing residents will only be given two official smoking warnings via email from RIT Dubai Student Affairs before they are asked to leave housing permanently.
• No alcohol is allowed in housing.
• No pets allowed.

Student Housing Application
Please submit the student housing application to reserve a place in student housing.
(Housing allocation is made on a first-come-first-serve basis.)

All allocations are made by the DSOA team and no emails will be sent from their side to confirm your exact room or roommate.
