In line with the implementation of the Single Lecture Exam (UKT) at UNS, there were demands from students to apply this short semester.

Based on the guidance of the Academic Guidebook, it was stated that the short semester may be applied on the condition that students need to repeat thier lower grades or fail their SKS, which was taken up to 9 SKS, and this short semester were only held in July-August.

Coordinator of LPM Curriculum UIN Jakarta, Iwan Permana, M.Pd. added that the short semester policy was then submitted to each faculty rules as an example in Fisip, he continued, the short semester should only be implemented on acceleration of their studying period or emergency cases, such as students who were at the end of their study period.

Discussion became more interesting when the guests questioned about the short semester policy after UKT system implementation at UIN Jakarta. To answer this, LPM then requested the Head of Planning and Finance Bureau, Subarja, M.Pd to give his response. According to him all budgets for faculty have been socialized and agreed upon. So, if the short semester was emloyed, then all financing needed must already be contained in the faculty budget item. (usa)
