Contrasting SaaS and Self-Hosted Modules
This page compares Modern Campus CMS modules (Add-Ons) that are available for software-as-a-service (SaaS) versus hosting Modern Campus CMS on institution-provided server (Self-Host) platforms. Modern Campus no longer sells Self-Host but is supporting 2025.3.X, scheduled for release to Self-Host in January 2026 until June 30, 2026. If you want to continue using the CMS after this date and receive updates after 2025.3.X, you will need to switch to our SaaS offering, reach out to your Account Manager for more details.

- This Add-On has never been available for Self-Host customers.
- If you purchased the Add-On before 2025, you will have access until June 30, 2026. After this date, Add-Ons that connect directly to the CMS will stop functioning, and we will no longer support non-connected Add-Ons.
