With the Fall semester well under way, most students, staff, and faculty have probably used Simmons Connection to access information about classes, events and other campus news. Behind the scenes, Technology is working on the next phase of Simmons Connection. We’re currently mapping out changes and improvements based on your feedback and we will continue to do so as work on this new platform progresses.

We are aware that some features in Simmons Connection have not worked as well as we had originally intended. For example, the revamped menu structure in AARC has caused some confusion and we found that the display of student email was working inconsistently. Your feedback has helped us to identify these issues and subsequently make changes to improve or replace features as necessary.

As we prepare for phase two, we want to keep the lines of communication open with everyone in the Simmons community. If you have problems that you’ve encountered or suggestions for future improvements and upgrades, we encourage you to submit feedback on the Service Desk website using this link. Every comment we receive from you is discussed among the team and we will follow up to let you know when and if we can incorporate your ideas.

Thank you for taking the time to be a part of the ongoing upgrades to technology at Simmons.
