Then go grab your room key at facilities services in the physical plant. After those tasks are accomplished, you’ll be ready for anything.

Parents and families, we didn’t forget about you! Please check in here to receive your very own schedule and, for those participating, your Humanities 110 for Parents conference location assignments. Once you’ve checked in you can help yourselves to coffee and refreshments. We will also provide free internet access. Throughout the day, you’re welcome to hang out, meet other parents, chat with staff members, and discuss any questions or concerns you may have.

Representatives from several banks and local credit unions will be on hand to answer your banking questions and help you make any needed account transitions. Cell phone providers will also be on hand to set up local accounts. Also, if you’re interested in using Reed’s car sharing utility, ZipCar, or registering to vote through the Oregon Bus Project, you can get more information and sign up here.

Want to take an upper-level language, music, or economics course? Come find out if your current skills are up to the task (but don’t worry if they’re not). There are two 90-minute sessions. Bring a pen or pencil. If you need disability accommodations for the exam, please contact the learning resources director, Theresa Lowrie (503/517-7921, thlowrie@reed.edu), before the day of the exam. Can’t find the exam room? HAs will be at Eliot Circle to help point you in the right direction.

Transfer students, drop by and talk with Ben Bradley about how your credit will transfer and what you need to think about as you register for classes.  Bring your transcripts.

Check out some of the campus locales that make Reed one of-a-kind.

Stroll up the hill to Woodstock Wine & Deli (15-minute walk or 2-minute drive), where you can meet other parents of new Reedies. Enjoy this opportunity to check out a favorite neighborhood haunt, swap stories, and raise a glass to your new student. After a day of shopping and unpacking, treat yourself to something from the extensive selection of wine, beer, Italian soda, and edibles.

Meet up with both new and current nontraditional students over a tasty dinner!

Who are all the people you passed in the hallway while you were moving in? Come to your first residence hall meeting to meet all your fellow first-year students and your HA. Your HA will also lead your residence hall over to commons for your first dinner at Reed. Impress your neighbors with your gastrointestinal prowess, enjoy more time to get to know one another, and don’t forget to feed the scroungers!
