Account Life-cycle
Creation & first access
Simmons students will receive an account creation email with the information they need to access their MHC account 2 weeks before the first day of class.
Deactivation
Account access ends when the semester is over unless the student is already enrolled in another Simmons course at MHC for the following summer. Account access is also restored in any future semesters where the student is enrolled, though the initial account creation email is not resent.
