UMN Academic Guide
New students will get a packaged course through their first & second semester or their first year of study. All students are required to take their own courses or do their Kartu Rencana Studi (KRS) or Study Plan Card from their third semester up to their last semester. There is the list for taking the maximum credits as follows:
*Taking courses for odd semesters (Semester 3, 5, 7, and on) depends on the previous odd semesters GPA. For instance, the first semester GPA is 3.5 means the maximum study load to be taken in the third semester is up to 24 credits. Then, the third semester GPA is 2.70 means the maximum credits for the fifth semester is up to 21 credits.
Therefore, it is better for every student to maintain a GPA each semester so that they can complete their studies on time.
Frequent Academic Term used:
- Kartu Rencana Studi (KRS) = Study Plan Card
- Indeks Prestasi Semester (IPS) = Semester GPA
- Indeks Prestasi Kumulatif (IPK) = Cumulative GPA
- Satuan Kredit Semester (SKS) = Semester Credit Points
- Satuan Kredit Kegiatan Mahasiswa (SKKM) = Student Activity Credit Units
Student Activity Credit Units (SKKM) are implemented so that all UMN students/graduates meet the same minimum standards in developing soft skills. In addition, SKKM encourages active participation of all students in extracurricular activities. SKKM is an assessment of activities organized and participated in by students in extracurricular activities, both organized from within and outside the campus, for self-development.
Each student is required to meet a minimum of 20 SKKM points and meet 100% in each field. SKKM points as one of the requirements for student graduation.
Composition of SKKM points
- 30% scientific and reasoning fields
- 20% talent and interest fields
- 20% community service fields
- 30% organizational and personality development fields
