Authorized Users

An authorized user is someone a student has invited to Reed’s online student account center. This authorization gives Reed College the clearance to share the student's financial information with someone other than the student. If the student would like to authorize up to two people (in addition to the student) to receive their official Reed e-bill, they may do so in the student forms section in IRIS.
