Residential Halls
The American University of Ras Al Khaimah (AURAK) offers six residential halls that allow students to live in a safe and comfortable environment while also providing the convenience of being close to campus.
To book a tour or apply to live on campus, contact our Student Residential Life Department by phone at +971 7 246 8995 or via email at srld@aurak.ac.ae.
- To register for on-campus housing, all residents are required to pay the housing fees in full before moving into the residential halls.
- Housing registration and contract periods are set according to the academic calendar.
- Housing contracts are set according to each individual semester of an academic year (Fall, Spring, and Summer).
- Housing in the residential halls beyond the contract periods are subject to separate charges.
- Rooms are limited and assigned on a first-come, first-served basis according to payment and registration.
- Residents who select a single room do so with the understanding that they may be assigned a roommate if increased occupancy requires it.
- The mission of the Student Residential Life Department is to offer housing to as many residents as possible, therefore, we will not turn away any resident so that another resident may have the convenience of a single room.
