Setting up Authorized Users
Authorized Users
An authorized user is someone a student has invited to the 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 (besides the student) to receive the official Reed e-bill, they may do so in the student forms section in IRIS.
