Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that affect the GPA of students who get Bidikmisi scholarship by using the Semester Package System (SPS) Plus service. SPS Plus is a package system of courses i n study program where all courses taken in curriculum structure are arranged and offered on a package basis for each semester. In general, UT students are not required to attend Face to Face (FtF) tutorial provided by UT, but for Bidikmisi scholars which use SPS Plus Services, they are required to a ttend FtF tutorial for all courses in the package. By following FtF tutorial, students are expected to get a high GPA, this is because they are new graduates from high school and the l evel of independence in terms of l earning is still not so good.
