Standard 6: Learning Resources & Student Support

Material resources

The smallest entity in financial management at UPI is the faculty. The study Ppogram plays a role in providing data on the implementation of activities. Funding for activities in the study program comes from the University which is managed by the faculty. Study program funding is designed and allocated through the Annual Budget Work Plan. The tuition fees for the undergraduate study program are between Rp 1.000.000 – Rp 6.200.000 and Rp 8,550,000 for the graduate program. There are various scholarship schemes that students can apply for, among others are the Bank Indonesia scholarship, the Beasiswa Unggulan from the Ministry of Education and Culture, and scholarship from the West Java Province. Meanwhile, at the graduate level, students receive scholarships from the LPDP, BUDI, and BPPDN. In the conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic, the study program provides exemption for students tuition fees. Students who receive the Bidik Misi scholarship scheme are free of tuition fees.

Each study program has the following facilities, namely: 4 classrooms, 1 library room managed by study programs, court rooms, and 1 laboratory room. Especially for the Postgraduate Program in Economic Education, the lecture building uses the Graduate School building. Other facilities that can be accessed at the faculty level are computer laboratories, microteaching laboratories, sharia banking laboratories, smart classrooms, sharia investment galleries, and digital business laboratories. The facilities that can be accessed at the university level include; 1) university library, 2) sports facilities, consisting of a gymnasium, softball field, soccer field, sports hall and swimming pool, 3) other facilities consisting of the Islamic Tutorial Center, Language Center, Polyclinic, Cafeteria, Korean Corner, and Bank Indonesia Corner.

UPI provides sufficient facilities including for students with special needs to achieve the learning outcome. Among them are elevators and guiding blocks that make it easier for students with disabilities to do activities on campus. Meanwhile, to meet academic needs, each classroom is equipped with adequate facilities and an internal Learning Management System, namely SPOT and SPADA. During the pandemic, the use of learning facilities mostly uses non- physical facilities.

Building management and maintenance activities are based on the Rector’s Regulation Number 0058/un40/hk/2018 on UPI Property Management where maintenance of assets and facilities are needed to ensure academic activity services can take place properly and optimally. Maintenance of all study programs and faculties are carried out routinely by cleaning officers under the auspices of the UPI Infrastructure and Facilities Bureau. The task of the Bureau of Facilities and Infrastructure is to carry out and coordinate administrative services for facilities and infrastructure which can be accessed through http://sarpras.upi.edu/.

The availability of material resources required for the implementation of activities in the study program is obtained through the process of submitting needs to the Faculty. This process follows the budget allocation plan that has been designed by the study program in accordance with the Rector’s Regulation Number 0054 of 2020.

The availability of literature in the learning and learning process is supported by library facilities, both at the study program and university levels. The services available in the library include repositories, e-journals and e-books, as well as the UPI library catalog. The service can be accessed through http://perpustakaan.upi.edu.
