Reed College is committed to providing equal opportunity and meaningful access for all qualified students. The college works individually with students to assess current documentation and to provide or establish the most suitable and reasonable accommodations or services given the context of a particular class, professor's pedagogy, or area of campus.Typical services have included: tutoring, interpreting, or note taking; communication with faculty members regarding academic adjustments; referral for testing and diagnosis; and the elimination of educational barriers when reasonable and possible and within the college’s resources.

Although Reed offers services to assist students with disabilities, students are responsible for contacting the disabilities office with their request and for providing the necessary documentation n a timely manner. Information about disabilities services and documentation requirements can be found here.

Students who have a disability (defined by law as an impairment that substantially limits a major life activity) or think they might have a disability should speak with the director of disabilities.
