Case Study: Huntingdon College achieves streamlined registration and integrated admissions with Campus Cafe

How Huntingdon College Revolutionized Its Registration & Admissions Processes

Huntingdon College, a four‑year liberal arts college of about 1,000 students in Montgomery, Ala., faced a frustrating tenure on Ellucian PowerCampus: a clunky interface, poor remote access, limited integrations, no integrated CRM and costly onsite hosting that strained IT resources. Seeking an affordable, user‑friendly and scalable student information system, Huntingdon selected Campus Cafe and began migrating to Campus Cafe’s integrated cloud SIS in summer 2021.

Campus Cafe delivered a cloud‑based, integrated student information system with configurable workflows, dashboards, reporting and strong customer support; Huntingdon migrated most data, completed targeted training and rolled the system live on a one‑year plan. The Campus Cafe solution created a single source of truth across admissions, registration, billing and financial aid, “revolutionized” registration by enabling schedule uploads and guaranteed seats, reduced support tickets and IT maintenance (no more server upkeep), and drove high user adoption and time savings across campus.
