Student Affairs at Rhode Island School of Design provides opportunities for all students to develop personally, socially and intellectually. In support of the academic mission, we foster the skills engaged citizens need for success and achievement. We create active learning environments that support students' co-curricular experience. Our programming and services reflect the values of community, inclusiveness, responsibility, leadership and well-being.
The Office of Student Affairs serves as a general advocate for all RISD students. In other words, we are the people to turn to when you have financial aid concerns, need to take a leave or withdraw from RISD, or when you're not quite sure whom to ask about your particular need.
