UShare Guest Access

SiS is UMass Lowell's online student information system.  Students have the ability to grant parents, guardians, family, spouses, employers, etc. access to their SiS accounts via a service called SiS UShare. Students do this from their Student Center within SiS.  In compliance with FERPA, only students may initiate and assign guest access.

Guest access will allow you to view the areas of your student's record for which your student had authorized you, including the e-bill and online tuition payment. SiS UShare Guests should contact their student if they need additional assistance.

A welcome email will be sent to you via the email address the student entered. This will include the User ID, but the UMass Lowell student will have to provide the password separately to you.
