Apply for Housing
Whether you are just exploring FIT housing options or looking for more information before you apply, you've come to the right place. Let us help you navigate the different housing options and types as well as the requirements for each!
Academic Year Housing
Each year students must apply for housing in the late spring. Students who have previously attended FIT are housed in Kaufman Hall while students who will be new to FIT are primarily housed in Alumni, Nagler, or CoEd Halls. All students are required to sign a Housing Agreement prior to completing their application which provides all the policies and rules that keep our community safe. Academic Year Housing is for the Fall & Spring semester
The Housing Deposit & Application
Once the housing application is open students may access if via their Housing Portal. The Housing Portal can be found by logging into their MyFit Account and navigating to the Residential Life Section. If you are a new student, there may be a 2-3 day delay between when you submit your admissions deposit and when you are able to begin accessing the Housing Portal.
Once a student has completed the application, they will be asked to confirm submission of their application. This step places a $500 charge on their FIT Student Account as a Housing Deposit. Deposits will show up on the next business day after your application is submitted. In order to continue with the application, you must have settled all previous charges on your student account as well as the deposit.
Roommate Selection
Immediately after completing their application, students have the opportunity to either search for potential roommates if they have a particular person in mind, complete a compatibility profile and view potential matches, or select a random bed during the selection process. Roommate groups can be anywhere from 2-4 people.
Winter, Summer & Mid-Year Applications
Winter Housing
For a complete overview of winter housing and the application process, you can visit Break Housing. Please note that only students who are enrolled in housing for both fall and spring semesters are eligible for Winter Housing.
Summer Housing
FIT offers both student housing and intern housing during the summer session. If you are interested in staying with us for the summer, check out Summer Conferences and Intern Housing.
Mid-Year / Spring Semester Only
Students newly admitted to FIT for the spring semester or who simply wish to join us on campus midway through the year are welcome to apply during mid-year applications.
Student placements are on a rolling basis and housed in the order in which their application was received. Due to limited availability of housing, student preferences for room types and roommates are not guaranteed. New students to housing move in early in January.
