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.

  • Spring tuition and fee payments are due by January 5, 2024.

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.
