Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (UNY) always supports various efforts to improve access to quality education. However, one of the vulnerable groups who experience difficulties accessing education is students who drop out of college because of financial problems or the study period that has exceeded so that they drop out. The government has opened up opportunities through the Recognition of Past Learning (RPL) Program to answer this problem. Based on a decree from the Directorate of Learning and Student Affairs No. 3514/E2/PB.04.02/2021, 54 study programs at UNY have obtained government approval to implement the Past Learning Recognition Program. To manage the program successfully, UNY held a coordination meeting on Saturday, July 17, 2021.

 “Past Learning Recognition Program aims to provide opportunities for the community to learn lifelong through formal education at the Higher Education level. Therefore, the government agreed to provide assistance to register for free at designated universities and provide tuition subsidies in the first semester,” said Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs, Prof. Dr. Margana, M. Hum., M.A.

The Past Learning Recognition program is open for everyone who has graduated from high school or the equivalent who has work experience to continue on the Bachelor program. For Diploma graduates or those who have attended college but not completed or those who have work experience to continue on the Bachelor program. For undergraduate graduates who have attended lectures in the Master’s program but did not finish, both those who have work experience and those who do not continue on the Master’s program.
