COVID-19 Prevention & Response Plan

Academics and Classes

Reed has returned to an academic calendar in line with a pre-pandemic schedule and has resumed primarily in-person instruction. The 2022–23 academic calendar can be found on the registrar’s website.

Academic Support

The Office of Academic Support has resumed in-person services while also continuing to offer core services virtually. Academic advising and faculty office hours will generally go back to in-person; however, some meetings may be held virtually if appropriate for all participants.

Virtual OptionsĀ 

For circumstances where a student must miss some classes due to illness, isolation, or quarantine, students should reach out to their individual faculty members, who will work to provide alternative options to keep up with their coursework during this time.

Students who wish to request formal accommodations of disabilities should contact Reed Disability and Accessibility Resources (DAR). In general, accommodations are made through an individualized process and in partnership between the student, DAR, and their faculty.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued global COVID-19 travel recommendations by destination. Reed is not permitting college-funded travel to other countries that are categorized as level 4 (do not travel). Students are responsible for reviewing the current international and domestic restrictions before considering travel.
