Starting the accommodation process only takes two steps! Here's how to get started:

1. Fill out an accommodation request form. We have one form for , and a separate one for . Students seeking both academic and housing accommodations will need to complete both forms. 

2. Submit your medical or mental health documentation to DAR. You can upload your disability documentation along with your accommodation request form, or you can send us your documentation later via email (dar@reed.edu) or fax (503-517-5532).

A few things to note:

• You will be able to access the accommodation request forms once you have paid your Reed enrollment deposit and set up your Reed computer account.
• Please do NOT submit your disability documentation to our office unless you have already filled out an accommodation request form.
• Want more details about what happens next in the accommodation process? You can find them on the Student Accommodations Process page.

For housing accommodations, we are able to process most requests without a meeting. Once you fill out your housing accommodation request form, we will email you if a meeting is needed. 

For academic or PE accommodation requests, you will need to attend an intake meeting with DAR staff before you can begin using your accommodations. We recommend  to take place during the summer, prior to arriving on campus.

The short answer is, we encourage you to start the accommodation process anyway! The longer answer is...

Housing accommodations: If the deadline for housing accommodations has passed, please submit your accommodation request form disability documentation to us as soon as possible. We will review your request and consider what options may still be available, within the remaining housing vacancies at that time. Housing accommodations are particularly time-sensitive, as housing inventory becomes limited once Residence Life issues room assignments to incoming students.

Academic accommodations: For academic or PE accommodations, students may submit their accommodation request form at any time of year, though we recommend doing so by July 15th for students who would like to have their accommodations in place by the start of the fall semester. 

Email is a great way to reach us! We're also available to meet via Zoom or in person, by only during the summer months. 

In addition to disability accommodations, ÍõÖÓÑþ»éÀñÊÓƵÆعâ offers a wide range of supportive resources for all students. Visit Academic Support to learn about workshops, academic coaching, and peer tutoring.

The Health and Counseling Center can provide information about medical and mental health care at Reed, medication management, referrals to off-campus providers, and Reed health insurance coverage.
