Transfer of credit
Students are allowed to transfer up to 15 units of credit toward their Reed degree. Many restrictions affect the transfer of credit, so students should consult carefully with the registrar’s office, their adviser, and the chair of the appropriate department(s) before registering for courses at other institutions. Students should complete the request for transfer of credit form to obtain approval for their transfer courses in advance of enrolling. Students must achieve at the level of at least a C- in courses that are not vocational, technical, or experiential in nature to receive Reed credit. Work at other institutions cannot duplicate the student’s work at Reed College. The general college requirements will not be waived for transfer students. In order to receive transfer of credit upon returning to the college, the student should make sure a transcript is sent from the credit-granting institution and have a record of the descriptions of courses taken, texts read, and papers or assignments submitted.
