HutchCC Students — Preparing for Jenzabar One (J1)

Jenzabar One will bring updates to DragonZone, registration, billing, financial aid, transcripts, and other student services.
This page will help students understand what to expect before, during, and after the transition.

• What to Expect During the Transition to J1

  Hutchinson Community College is implementing Jenzabar One (J1), a new student information system that will improve the student experience and modernize core campus systems used for academic and financial services.

• About the Transition

  As part of this implementation, HutchCC is transitioning from the current DragonZone to Jenzabar One. This upgrade is designed to provide students with a more streamlined and user-friendly experience for managing their academic journey.

  Once fully implemented, students will benefit from:

  • A more intuitive and modern student interface
  • Improved tools for course search, planning, and registration
  • Easier access to academic progress and degree information
  • More consistent and connected access to student services
• System Availability During the Transition

  The J1 implementation will begin on July 9, 2026 and is scheduled to be completed on July 31, 2026. During this time, DragonZone will have limited functionality and may be available in read-only mode only.

  Some services will be temporarily unavailable, including:

  • Course registration and schedule changes
  • Admissions processing and updates
  • Financial aid processing and related updates
  • Student account transactions and payments
  • Other integrated student service functions
• Supporting Students During the Transition

  HutchCC is working to ensure students have the support and resources needed throughout the implementation. While systems are being transitioned, staff across campus will be available to assist with questions and provide guidance as processes are updated.

  Additional information, instructions, and support resources will be shared prior to Go Live and updated as needed throughout the transition period.
