Jenzabar's Commitment to Your Success During COVID-19 Crisis
*Last modified June 16, 2022
We are continually monitoring the CDC and other public health organizations regarding the outbreak of COVID-19 around the world. Jenzabar remains committed to supporting your institution through this unprecedented scenario.
We understand that technology plays an important role in the everyday lives of your students and your institution. As such, we have taken steps to ensure that you, your team, and your students have the resources and means to operate as seamlessly as possible in this unique situation.
The safety and well-being of your students, your staff, and your employees are of the utmost importance to us. So, as you take steps to encourage your students and personnel to be remote, we have similarly encouraged our employees to work remotely. Rest assured that we have made investments to ensure that you will not notice a difference in our support to drive your success.
We are taking the COVID-19 outbreak extremely seriously and we will continue to provide you with updates as the situation evolves. We will also update this page with new information as it becomes available.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership as we navigate and find the best way through this unprecedented scenario together.

As institutions consider encouraging users to be remote, we have taken steps to ensure that our solutions and infrastructure can support increased remote access and loads from all users, including students, staff, and other personnel.
