Email Marketing Software for Universities and Higher Education
Stop buying a separate email tool for every campus team. Interspire Email Marketer gives admissions, alumni, advancement, and departments their own accounts on one self-hosted installation.
Department accounts. Central administration.
Let Departments Send Without Losing Oversight
Every team works independently while central IT or communications keeps control.
- Accounts per unit: departments, faculties, campuses, and colleges each manage their own lists, campaigns, and reports
- Permissions by group: control who can import contacts, edit templates, send, or change settings
- Sending caps and SMTP: hourly, monthly, or total limits per user, and separate SMTP where a unit needs its own domain
Your Data, Without Per-Contact Pricing
Applicant, student, alumni, and donor records stay for years, including people a team rarely mails.
- No per-contact or per-email charges: costs are licensing, infrastructure, sending, and any implementation you need
- Your hosting: a region or environment your institution already approves, following your backup and retention practices
- Your source of truth: your SIS, alumni database, or CRM stays in charge, and Interspire is the email layer
Built for Campus Communications
Tools that fit many teams and long-lived records.
- Secure logins: two-factor authentication for departmental accounts
- Privacy controls: double opt-in, suppression, a tracking preference link, and encrypted custom fields for student or donor IDs
- Forms and surveys: embedded forms with Turnstile bot protection, plus event and unsubscribe surveys
- High volume: queue 100,000+ emails per hour, depending on your infrastructure, with Large System Mode for millions of records
Common Questions
Shared platform or separate installs per campus?
Most universities start with one shared installation and separate departmental accounts. A campus or college that needs its own environment can have a separately licensed installation.
Do you support single sign-on?
No. Interspire does not support SSO, including SAML.
Does it connect to our SIS, alumni database, or CRM?
Connections are assessed per project and are not included in a standard license.
Does self-hosting make us compliant?
No. Self-hosting does not by itself satisfy any regulatory, privacy, accessibility, or security requirement. Your institution remains responsible for configuration, policies, content, infrastructure, and legal obligations.
