Throughout October and November, the computer replacement project team has been working with department administrators to determine their needs and requirements for new computers. Their cooperation throughout this process has helped to keep the project on schedule and progressing quickly.

We have also begun rolling out new computers to our pilot groups in Technology, the Library, and elsewhere. These teams are providing us with crucial feedback that will help ensure the success of the project as we move forward and replace computers across campus.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding, which enables us to use the limited financial resources we have available to most effectively support the teaching, business, and strategic goals of the College.

If you’re holed up in your apartment or at a café studying for finals, or if you have a trip planned for the semester break, it’s easy to stay connected and get tech support from Simmons while you’re away from campus.

Service Desk Support

Open for phone support Monday-Friday from 7:30am – 5:30pm at 617-521-2222.

If you need help during the evening or on the weekend, or if you’d rather not pick up the phone, you’ll find answers to many common questions on the Service Desk website.

Services Available Anywhere

You can access your email, calendar, Google docs, Moodle, AARC, Workday, and more from almost any device using mobile sites and apps.

If you need access to technology services that are only available from the on-campus network, you can tap into them remotely using VPN. Simmons VPN is accessible on most computers and mobile devices.
