Jenzabar plays a central role in how we serve students, manage information, and operate as a campus. It’s our ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and SIS (Student Information System), handling everything from class schedules and student records to payroll and budgeting.
Bluefield University has partnered with Jenzabar for over 50 years. While the tools have evolved, our goal has remained the same: to work smarter and serve better. This guide will help you get started or deepen your familiarity with the platform.
