Admission
Reed Admit Days
RAD (Reed Admit Days) on April 21 and 22 is a great opportunity for you to experience life on campus. You'll see our conference classes in action, talk with faculty and students, and discover the academic departments that inspire you. Between activities, wander the thesis tower and find the oldest thesis in residence, absorb the natural surroundings with a hike in the canyon, or sip in the coffeehouses while watching Reed dogs at play. Make new Reedie friends by spending a night in the dorms. A truly impressive Reedie-to-be may even find the Doyle Owl. Learn about student activities, residence life, financial aid, and a variety of on-campus services. Come and discover what makes the Reed community so unique.
Once you register to attend RAD we will schedule you to visit at least one class in an area of interest. Parents and family members are welcome to attend all RAD activities except class visits, lunch with Reedies, and evening dorm activities. A full schedule will be available at check-in, but a tentative schedule is below.
If you need suggestions for accommodations check out our accommodations page. Additional information about traveling to campus may be found here, or plan a personalized public transportation trip on TriMet.
A Note Regarding Registration: Overnight space has filled. Please call the Office of Admission at 503/777-7511 if this poses a major hardship to your visit. For those traveling with family, we encourage you to stay with them for the evening, but participate in Sunday's activities (beginning at 4:30 p.m.).
A Note Regarding Late Registration: Visitors who register after midnight PDT on Saturday, April 13 may not be able to visit a class (depending on availability).
