FEE REBATE INFORMATION

The University of Massachusetts Amherst campus has now transitioned to electronic billing. Students will no longer receive paper bills.

QuikPAY allows students to view, print and/or pay their bills online and it is the prefered method of payment. Notification of all tuition bills will be sent to the student's OIT email account. To access QuikPAY, students should go to their Student Center in SPIRE and then click on "View/Pay Bill" in Finances section. Students can set up parents and other individuals as Authorized Payers in SPIRE. Students will input the payer's email and assign a temporary password. Authorized Payers will receive an email with their login name, and after signing in with the password provided by the student they can select a new password for future use. Each billing cycle, the payers will receive an email notifying them that the bill is available through a link in the text of the message.

FERPA: The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act is a federal law protecting the confidentiality of the student records. In compliance with FERPA, Umass Amherst must have the student's written permission to release information from your records. The student can provide permission by filling out a FERPA privacy waiver online. Completing the Waiver will allow the student to designate individuals to communicate with the university about the finances and housing. The student can edit the FERPA Waiver at any time to change or eliminate their designees. It does not allow the designees access to the academic information (such as grades). Fill out the FERPA Privacy Waiver through SPIRE; navigate to the Student Menu-Holds & To Do's-FERPA Privacy Waiver.

Please be aware that having the FERPA waiver access does not authorize you as a payer under QuikPAY; just like QuikPAY access does not give you the FERPA access. These two catagories have their own separate passwords.
