Simmons University student account questions

What happens if I have an unpaid balance at Simmons?

If your balance is not paid by the payment deadline (Fall: August 15, Spring: December 15, Summer: May 5), a $100 late fee is charged. A second $100 late fee applies if the balance remains unpaid by the first day of classes. Students who have not settled their accounts before the first day may have their class schedules canceled and must re-register on a space-available basis. Severely delinquent accounts may be referred to a collection agency or attorney, with collection costs added to your balance. Contact Student Financial Services at sfs@simmons.edu or 617-521-2001.
