In our continued effort to improve information security for our community, the College rolled out Sharkpass in May 2017. We had record adoption of this product. Below are some helpful hints for using Sharkpass aka Duo.
- You can avoid the hassle of identifying yourself every time you login on the same computer and browser by simply clicking the “Remember me for 30 days” checkbox on lower half of the authentication screen
- Acknowledging the Duo “push” from the Duo mobile application is the most streamlined approach and the least expensive option for the College.
- If you don’t have a mobile device and you are frequently verifying your identity by telephone, you transaction could be simplified with a hardware token.

Simmons Technology has partnered with the Career Education Center to select a new career software platform for the College. We are excited to announce that Handshake, the new online career platform for the Simmons community, went live for all students on January 29. Handshake replaces CareerLink, which had been in place since 2003.
Over the summer and throughout the fall semester, Simmons Technology worked to replace the aging WiFi network infrastructure on both the academic and residence campuses. We are pleased to announce that our work is now complete and that Simmons College has an entirely new and improved WiFi network. This significant upgrade provides double the previous bandwidth and improves coverage in all areas on campus, giving you a strong connection no matter where you are.
