Residence Life Policies

Learn how our rules, expectations and guidelines for living on campus help ensure a safe and mutually respectful residential community.

Introduction

All policies outlined below apply to every individual living within RISD residence halls, unless otherwise stated. These policies also extend to visitors and guests within the residence halls. 

Policies that pertain to specific housing areas (e.g. 15 West, First-Year Area, etc.) are denoted as such. If not specifically delineated, the content of these regulations apply to all residential facilities. 

The terms “residence hall,” “housing,” and “residential facility” apply to all types of housing. In addition to the following policies, residential students must abide by the contents of the Housing & Dining Contract. These policies may be amended as necessary.
