Tuition & Fees

Costs for the next academic year will be published by the following mid-April and can be viewed in the academic catalog. For information regarding tuition billing and payments, please review our billing basics and payment options.

The cost of attendance is what the college estimates to be a student's cost to attend Reed for one year. Included in the cost of attendance is the direct cost of tuition, fees, room and board (if the student lives on campus), and indirect cost estimates for books and supplies, personal expenses, and transportation.

Fee Details

The $155 per semester student body fee is collected from each full-time student by the business office, except those studying abroad. The funds underwrite and support various student spaces and extracurricular activities and are allocated to the student senate at the beginning of the semester.

The cost listed above is for a dormitory room in an on-campus residence hall. Rooms in college-operated apartment buildings are available at the following costs:

	Annual	Per Semester
1 Bedroom Apartment	$11,670	$5,835
2 Bedroom Apartment (per bed)	$10,100	$5,050

Board Plan A is designed for the student who will eat almost every meal on campus and will often take advantage of late night dining hours. For more information about other options and costs, review our meal plan options and policies.

All students who live in a residence hall on campus must take board. If a student is living in a Birchwood or RCA college apartment, they have the option to purchase a board plan or commuter points (commuter points are dollar-for-dollar food points that are purchased and then applied on the student ID card to be spent at Commons on an as-needed basis.)

Note: Changes to room and board, while a student is enrolled, may be prorated based on a daily rate and may affect the cost of attendance and financial aid award. Please email business-office@reed.edu for more information.
