Business Office

The business office provides financial services for the Reed community, including students, faculty, and staff.

Students

Student account center

Students may access their student account through our Integrated Reed Information System (IRIS)

  • In IRIS, under the student tab, click on “student account center.”
  • If somebody is assisting the student with the financial aspect of their Reed College education, the student may wish to grant that person authorized user access to manage their student account online.

Check out our student account website for more information on student account center, billing, refunds, payments and other questions regarding student accounts.

Tuition insurance

In fall 2023, all undergraduate students were automatically enrolled in and billed for tuition insurance unless they complete a waiver to opt out of coverage. Learn more on our Tuition Insurance webpage.

Student health insurance

If a student is on the Reed health insurance plan, they may print an ID card. Please select the "Print your ID Card" under the "Quick Links" selection.

Health insurance waivers, for those who waive the college plan, must be filled out each year the student is waiving coverage.

Faculty & Staff

Disbursements and Purchasing Cards

Payables and reimbursements are entered into Etrieve for payment and processed as received.
Please see our Accounts Payable website for more information regarding paying invoices, getting reimbursed for expenditures, and documentation requirements.

Reminders: The deadline for submitting disbursement requests via Etrieve is 12:00 p.m. on Wednesdays, for inclusion in that week's Friday check run. Disbursement requests received after 12:00 p.m. on Wednesdays will be paid on Friday the following week.

Per IRS guidelines, receipts for meals and entertainment must include the names of attendees and purpose of the event. Please include this information on all PCard and disbursement request receipts. Reimbursement requests missing this information should be referred back to the submitter by the person approving the request. If this is missed during the approval process, the business office will refer the request back and the payment could be delayed.

More information regarding Purchasing Cards or PCards can be found on our PCard website or by contacting the accounts payable specialist.
