Alumni
Starting with the class of 2018, your account is pre-loaded and you can sign in with your IRIS credentials using the Reed login option just as current students do.
Alumni from class of 2017 and beyond will need to sign up for an account. Handshake will encourage you to use your reed email address; ignore that advice and use any address you want that isn't the .edu address for another school (other schools might use that .edu address for Handshake accounts through those schools). You can definitely use your @alumni.reed.edu address.
