This summer, Simmons Technology partnered with Public Safety, Student Life, and the Registrar’s Office to help implement an important College-wide policy allowing students to use a first name other than their legal first name at Simmons.

As a result, all Simmons students can now update their first name and have it reflected in AARC, on class rosters, as part of their Simmons e-mail addresses, and on Simmons ID cards. We are working to make this option available in additional College systems and to streamline the process.

For more information about how to update your first name and to learn about how this differs from a legal name change, visit the Registrar’s page on Name and Address Changes.

If you have any questions, please contact the Registrar at 617-521-2111 or [email protected].
