In fall 2024, all undergraduate students will be 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
Health insurance waivers, for those who waive the college plan, must be filled out each year the student is waiving coverage. The waiver is valid for the entire academic year if filled out for the fall semester.
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.
Faculty & Staff
Disbursements and Purchasing Cards
Payables and reimbursements are entered into Etrieve Disbursement form for payment and are processed as received. Please see our Accounts Payable website for more information regarding paying invoices, getting reimbursed for expenditures, and documentation requirements.
Reminders: The deadline for submitting disbursement requests via Etrieve is 12:00 p.m. on Wednesdays for inclusion in that week's Friday check run. Disbursement requests received after 12:00 p.m. on Wednesdays will be paid on Friday the following week.
Per IRS guidelines, receipts for meals and entertainment must include the names of attendees and purpose of the event. Please include this information on all PCard and disbursement request receipts. Disbursement requests missing this information should be referred back to the submitter by the person approving the request. If this is missed during the approval process, the business office will refer the request back and the payment could be delayed.
More information regarding Purchasing Cards or PCards can be found on our PCard website or by contacting the PCard administrator.
