You’ll receive an email with information about the housing application, as well as other important documents like the Weekend Away and Early Arrival forms.

Residence Life Pre-College Housing: Includes Pre-College housing timeline and a link to view video tours of the first-year area.

Roommates: One of the most valuable parts of the Pre-College experience is making new connections. To nurture new friendships, roommates are assigned based on the lifestyle preferences shared in your housing application. We do not give the option of requesting a specific roommate. Due to the short nature of the program, room change requests will not be available.

For any questions or concerns about housing, contact Residence Life at precollegehousing@risd.edu or 401 454-6650.
