Purpose: This study examines the distribution of income diversification in improving the financial sustainability of private universities amidst difficulties in operational funding during the Covid-19 pandemic with IT Capability moderation. Research design, data and methodology: Closed survey aimed at 468 financial sector leaders from 189 private universities in ten provinces in Indonesia. Results: All income diversification activity variables have a significant positive effect on financial sustainability. In the analysis of liquidity indicators, there are two activities that have a significant positive effect, namely goods and services (β=0.337) and profitable financial management (β=0.124). Furthermore, the results of the solvency indicator test obtained significant positive results in Goods and Services Activities (β=0.337), Commercial Intellectuals (β=0.161), Commercial Contracts (β=0.103), and Profitable Financial Management (β=0.147). The results of the test of higher education growth indicators on three activities have a significant positive effect, namely Goods and Services (β = 0.290), Endowments (β = 0.158), and Commercial Contracts (β = 0.134). The results of the moderation test conclude that IT Capability strengthens the effect of income diversification on financial sustainability. Conclusion: The results of the study as a recommendation for private universities in developing income diversification with information system technology-based management.
