A Small Christian College Should Not Depend On Big Tech
Christian college IT support means faculty and student email, admissions and giving pages, and shared documents, without handing a mission-sensitive institution to platforms that can change their terms.
IT your team can rely on
Support, security and collaboration tools in one place.
Christian College IT: The Short Answer
Small colleges and seminaries run on a few staff who also do IT, an email system inherited from a free education program, and a website nobody quite owns. We provide faculty, staff and student email on your domain, an admissions and giving website, and shared documents for departments, from $1.95 per user a month, on servers we own in the United States.
Christian college IT support has to cover a wider mix of systems than a typical small business — admissions, financial aid, alumni giving and classroom tools all in one place — without the multi-vendor sprawl that eats a lean IT budget. Outsourced Christian college IT support is usually the difference between one point of contact who knows the whole environment and a rotating cast of vendors who each know one piece of it.
Student education records are usually covered by FERPA, and your accreditor will ask about controls. We do not sell or share your data, and we will document what is hosted where so your compliance officer has something to attach to the file. We do not replace your student information system; we host what surrounds it.
Email And Identity
Faculty, staff and student mailboxes
Official addresses on your domain from $1.95 per user a month, with shared mailboxes for admissions, the registrar and the business office.
Alumni and giving communication
Messages to alumni and donors from your own domain with proper authentication, and lists you own, through Liberation Campaign.
Moving off a free education plan
Free tiers change terms or add charges. Our migration team moves mailboxes and calendars for free and checks them before cutover.
Summer is the right time to move. The first week of the fall semester is the wrong time to find out something did not.
- An admissions site that converts Program pages, costs, aid information, statement of faith and a real application path. Built as a project, or from $10.99 a month with the Website Builder.
- Giving and events Donation pages, homecoming and convocation registration, and an events calendar that stays current.
- Accessible and mobile-first Prospective students find you on phones. Pages are built with accessibility in mind, which also matters for institutions that receive federal funds.
The College Website
For a small college the website is the admissions office at midnight. It has to answer the questions parents ask before they ever call.
Departments And Shared Work
Shared documents for faculty
Committee documents, policy drafts and accreditation evidence in shared folders with role-based permissions, in Hub for Teams at $7.49 per user a month.
Meetings without a consumer service
Faculty meetings and planning sessions through the Hub’s Video app and chat instead of a consumer platform.
Backups and security
Website backups and security scanning, so a compromised plugin does not take down the admissions site.

- Free migration Mailboxes, calendars and websites move for free, scheduled around your academic calendar.
- 15% off for qualifying institutions Qualifying church and nonprofit institutions receive 15% off. Ask about eligibility.

No. Keep it. Our christian college IT support wraps around the email, website, documents and infrastructure you already run.
Can students have email accounts?
Yes. Student mailboxes are ordinary mailboxes at $1.95 per user a month.
How do you handle FERPA?
We do not sell or share your data, and we can document where it is stored. What you disclose and to whom remains your policy; we make the technical controls easy to demonstrate. Part of good christian college IT support is understanding the U.S. Department of Education’s student privacy guidance on FERPA.
Can you help with accreditation documentation about IT?
We can provide a written description of where systems are hosted, backup arrangements and support hours for your file.
How long does a migration take?
Mailboxes can move over a weekend once planned. Sites take longer depending on size. We schedule around your academic calendar.
