New Policy Index Website Launched

TechNews, ,

A new College Policy Index on the Simmons website allows faculty and staff to quickly locate and link to College policies. The index is a secure site accessible to only faculty and staff through use of your College ID and password. Users can browse policies by department or search for them directly. The site will be updated as new policies are introduced or old ones revised.

Internal Auditor, Susan Keller, who put the index together along with help from Technology, said she welcomes feedback from the college community on this site. “This site is meant to help people quickly and easily locate policies” she said of the index, which launched in June. “We hope you find it useful.” Send comments to [email protected], ext. 2873.

Long Distance Telephone Service Changes

TechNews, , ,

As of September 1, 2012, Simmons faculty and staff will no longer need to enter a PIN code to dial long distance from a Simmons telephone.

This summer, Simmons Technology selected a new vendor and plan for our telephone service. In addition to eliminating the need for PIN codes, the new plan provides local, long distance, and international calling at a significantly reduced cost to the college.

To make long distance calls within the US and Canada, press 9, then 1 followed by the area code and 7 digit number (for example: 9-1-(xxx)-xxx-xxxx).

To make calls outside of North America, press 9, then enter the international access code 011, the country code and local number (for example: 9-011-(xx)-xx-xxxx-xxxx). Please note that international calling will be available only to departments that have established a need for this service. If you do not have international calling and you need access, you can submit a request through the Service Desk.

If you have any questions, please contact the Service Desk at 617-521-2222 or servicedesk.simmons.edu.
