Gmail and Google Apps for Education for students are here!

Just in case you missed all of our announcements and emails and the ads on the T (okay, we didn’t actually put ads on the T), we want you to know that all students have now been migrated to Gmail and Google Apps for Education!

What does this mean? No more Webmail. No more tiny quota. No more searching for ways to share documents and projects with other students.

Other than changing how your email looks and adding functionality, nothing else will change. You’ll still have the same Simmons email address and you’ll still use it to interact with other students and your professors.

What do you need to do now?

• If you haven’t done so, go to gmail.simmons.edu to log in to your email.

• We’re also recommending that all students change their password. You’ll need to do this if you want to check your email on a mobile device or with other email software like Apple Mail or Thunderbird. You can update your password at preferences.simmons.edu.

• Speaking of mobile devices, you can find instructions for setting up your iPhone, Android phone, Blackberry and more by clicking here.

• If you have other question, visit gonegoogle.simmons.edu or contact the Service Desk at 617-521-2222 or servicedesk.simmons.edu.

Remember, we’re here to help you start using this new and exciting service. Contact us with any questions or problems you’re having and we’ll do our best to find a quick and simple solution for you.
