Amherst College generates an electronic tuition statement each semester.  The spring term billing email notification will be available December 17, 2021 and the balance due must be received on or before January 14, 2022. All payment plan arrangements through Nelnet/TMS to cover the fall term balance must also be established and up to date by the payment due date of January 14th.  Additional billing statements are also issued online during each semester, which will include any other miscellaneous charges, fees, fines or credits that are posted to the student’s account statement.

Email notifications will be sent to students and their Authorized Users ("Family and Friends") each time a new statement has been uploaded to the account.  These statements can be viewed online at AC Data. 

The total balance due must be settled before a student will be cleared for course registration.  Students may also be required to contact the Financial Aid Office or the Controller’s Office prior to registration in order to finalize paperwork, sign loan notes, or to clear any remaining unpaid balance.
