HOUSING INFORMATION

ON CAMPUS LIVING

RIT offers on-campus housing to over 6,000 students.  As a graduate student you may apply for on-campus housing in a residence hall, an apartment complex or the RIT Inn and Conference Center.  RIT has five apartment complexes.  All apartments are equipped with a refrigerator, sink, cupboards, and stove in the kitchen and a full bathroom.  Apartments, with the exception of University Commons, are unfurnished.  Furnishings can be rented or purchased upon your arrival. The RIT Inn and Conference Center offers a fully furnished double room with a private bath and shower.  A dining facility is available on site along with a pool, fitness room, and laundry room.  Shuttle service is provided to all students living in the apartments and the RIT Inn and Conference Center.

Please submit your Housing Contract along with your tuition deposit either online or to the Office of Graduate Enrollment Services. The Housing Contract can also be submitted online. Click on the Housing Contract icon on the left side of our main page and then click on the Upperclassman, Transfer, Graduate Contract. Complete the contract and submit it. You will need to have established your RIT computer account before you can complete your housing contract.

This housing contract will give us your housing preferences and that will help guide us when we make your assignment to permanent housing. We do our best to meet your preferences; however we cannot guarantee them. You can find information concerning housing rates and descriptions at our website at http://www.rit.edu/housing

RIT housing assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis, depending upon the date we receive your tuition deposit and apartment application. RIT housing is available for graduate students, but cannot be guaranteed. Students are not expected to find off-campus housing unless that is their preference. When you arrive fall semester, you will be temporarily assigned to university sponsored housing. We will work to permanently reassign during the fall.
