Abstract

One of the problems faced by the students of Universitas Terbuka (UT) is the low of Grade Point Average (GPA) score. To increase it, UT provide a semester package system (SIPAS). SIPAS is an approach for one program where its courses in curriculum are divided into eight semester-packaged. By using SIPAS students GPA can be expected to be increased. This paper discusses the use of SIP AS by students of Agribusiness Study Program, and to know the percentage of students whose GPA is greater than 2.50 in terms of using the SIPAS type taken, namely SIPAS Plus, SIPAS Non face to face tutorial and Non SIPAS. Population data taken from 2,475 students of Agribusiness Study Program registered in year 2013-2015, and is derived from students who have a first registration in year 1994 to 2015. The sample used was 825 students who register and take the exam continuously from year 2013 to 2015. Results of descriptive analysis showed that the percentage of GPA greater than 2.5 is largely achieved by the students who use SIPAS Plus, followed by Non-SIPAS and SIPAS Non Face to face tutorial. The results are used to evaluate SIPAS Non face to face tutorial which is the result did not increase as expected GPA.
