Case Study: University of California achieves seamless cross-campus enrollment with Jenzabar Higher Reach

University of California Pilots Cross-Campus Enrollment

The University of California launched an initiative to expand student access to high‑demand gateway courses by enabling cross‑campus enrollment across its nine undergraduate campuses. To pilot this effort, the University of California selected Jenzabar and its Jenzabar Higher Reach administrative platform to provide a centralized online catalog and streamlined enrollment interface.

Jenzabar deployed a single Higher Reach instance that replaced a manual paperwork‑exchange process with a user‑friendly website, delivering initial enrollment and data‑exchange capabilities in 2013 and adding federated authentication to auto‑capture and distribute student information to a central hub. The solution simplified registration, broke down institutional barriers, expanded online offerings systemwide, and positioned UC to increase credit‑bearing enrollments, add wait‑listing, and pursue further SIS/LMS integrations as it moves into Phase II.
