Single Sign On: UMass students, faculty, and staff should log in to the UMass Patient Portal using their NetID and password. When you visit the portal homepage at https://umass.medicatconnect.com, choose “I have a UMass NetID” to proceed to the NetID Single Sign On process. Users who do not have a UMass NetID (i.e., Hampshire College community) will need to create an account, or log in with their existing credentials.
You are probably in the wrong clinic. In the left sidebar, at the bottom, where it says CURRENT CLINIC, click the name of the clinic you are currently in to return to the portal main menu and select a different clinic.
Please keep secure messages as brief as possible. If your question or concern is complex, make an appointment to discuss it instead. Secure messages are part of your permanent medical record.

The UMass Patient Portal pulls information from SPIRE, so if your information on the portal needs to be corrected, you can update your SPIRE information by following these steps. (Non-UMass-affiliated patients who do not have SPIRE accounts must contact UHS Patient Services at 413-577-5192 to correct their information.)
- Login to spire.umass.edu
- Click Profile tile, then expand the My Personal Information menu.
- To update your address, click “Addresses.” The address listed in your medical record is the one listed under “Mailing Address” in SPIRE.
- To update your phone number, click “Email & Phone.” The number designated as “Preferred” is the one that will appear in your medical record.
- To update your name, click "Names." On this page, you can add or edit your Preferred/Chosen Name, which will appear in your medical record in parentheses next to your legal name.
Any updates you make in SPIRE may take up to 24 hours to appear in the UMass Patient Portal.
If you have submitted immunization records to UHS or received vaccines at UMass, you can access your immunization records on the Patient Portal.
- Log in to the portal and go to Action Items > Immunizations (syringe icon).
- Click the green "Print" button. This will generate a PDF of your immunization records that you can download and print.
You can use the Patient Portal to request that UHS send your medical records to you, another medical provider/facility/institution, or insurance company.
- Log in to the portal and go to Action Items > Forms.
- Under the Patient Forms category, click "Release of Information UHS."
- Complete and submit the form.
Allow at least 10 business days for your request to be fulfilled. There is no cost to send copies of medical records directly to a non-UHS healthcare provider. If copies are for a patient's personal use, for an insurance company or for legal purposes, a fee may be charged.
Limited UHS appointments can be self-scheduled on the portal, including:
- Asymptomatic STI testing appointments
- Required immunization appointments
- Allergy serum injection appointments (your initial visit must be scheduled by phone)
- Nutrition telehealth visits and nutrition appointments for NCAA athletes
To self-schedule any of these appointments, login to the portal and go to UHS Nursing & Specialty Care > Appointments (calendar icon).
For other UHS appointment types, please call our Appointment Line, (413) 577-5101, or your destination clinic to schedule.
Due to HIPAA regulations and patient confidentiality policies, these accounts cannot be created at this time.
