Case Study: Bluefield College achieves streamlined operations and major cost & time savings with Jenzabar

How Bluefield University is leveraging Jenzabar's Student Information System

Bluefield College, a private Christian liberal arts college of about 1,000 students, needed a student information system that would eliminate manual processes, support seamless integration, and be easily upgradeable. To meet those needs the college has partnered with Jenzabar for 16 years, deploying more than 14 Jenzabar modules including Jenzabar Student (Registration), Jenzabar eLearning, and Jenzabar Retention.

Jenzabar implemented a fully integrated SIS that consolidated course management, enrollment, financial services, and learning tools, delivering measurable benefits: Bluefield paid one‑tenth the cost of a third‑party LMS and saved approximately 100 hours per semester in course management, avoided extensive IT integration and upgrade work, automated weeks‑long attendance/participation verification tasks, enabled cross‑department data sharing and single sign‑on convenience, and provided mobile access that many students use to take tests on their phones.
