Building Access
Beginning August 29, 2011, the hours of open access for all main campus buildings will change to the following schedule:
OPEN ACCESS HOURS
- Monday - Friday: 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. Card access only after 7:00 P.M.
- Saturday: 7:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Card access only after 5:00 P.M.

Please note that your access to main campus buildings will be unchanged if you keep your Simmons ID card with you at all times.
After the new hours take effect, you will need to use your Simmons ID to gain access to all main campus buildings outside of open access hours. Visitors will need to be accompanied by a Simmons community member to access any buildings outside of open access hours.

If you lose your ID
Should you lose your ID, notify the Campus Card Office immediately at 617-521-2273 (during business hours) or 617-521-1112 (24 hours per day/365 days per year), and your card will be deactivated. You may obtain a replacement card during business hours. There is a $25.00 fee to replace a lost, stolen, or misplaced card.
If you find your card after reporting it lost, you must present it in person to the Campus Card Office to have it reactivated.
Validating your ID - STUDENTS
Each semester for students, a new validation sticker will be available for pickup in Student Financial Services or the Campus Card Office after you have cleared your account with Student Financial Services. Affix this sticker to the back of your ID card to validate your card for the coming academic period. Cards without current validation stickers may not be honored at the Sports Center, the Library, allowed to purchase Parking Cash, or other services.
Employee Convenience Copiers
Copiers are available in the Copy & Mail Center and other locations throughout the campus for employee use. To activate your card, please have your department chair or director email fenwaycard@simmons.edu with authorization and provide the budget numbers the ID is allowed to charge copies to.
The Campus Card System
Students, faculty and staff may enjoy the benefits of the Campus Card system with their Simmons ID Card. By pre-paying for services, you may use your ID card in place of cash, checks and credit cards on campus. Simply set up a Fenway Cash account, add Fenway Cash, and swipe your card to pay for items at the Fens Café, Java City, Quadside Café and Convenience, Myers Cafe, the Bookstore, vending machines, laundry machines, public copiers, the Copy & Mail Center and more.
