For Current Parents and Families
Welcome to Simmons College! While your daughter is at Simmons, this site will serve as your homebase for useful information, upcoming and annual events information, and important announcements throughout the year. Let us know if there's something you would like us to include in this site... it's here for you!

With your daughter away from home for the first time, you're likely to have a lot of questions, ranging from "What is my daughter's mailing address?" to "What happens if she gets sick?" so we've put together a list of the most frequently asked questions that parents and families ask us. If there's something you don't see on the list, let us know! We're here to help you and your daughter in any way we can.

Luckily Student Financial Services can answer many questions that you may have on their Financial services & student account FAQs.

Support Simmons
To keep tuition costs as low as possible, Simmons subsidizes almost a quarter of a student's education through donations to The Simmons Fund. The Simmons Fund relies on gifts from alumnae/i and friends like you.
Volunteering is another wonderful way to give to the Simmons community. You can participate on parent panels for prospective student events, where you answer questions and talk about your daughter's and your own experience with Simmons (contact the Office of Undergraduate Admission), or if you would like to learn about the many other ways you can volunteer, please contact the Office of Alumnae/i Relations & Annual Giving, 800-831-4284 or alumnet@simmons.edu.
