At the Start of the Odd Semester of the 2025/2026 Academic Year, the Undergraduate Architecture Program, Department of Architecture and Planning (DTAP), Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Gadjah Mada welcomed the new students of the 2025 cohort in the Infoday Undergraduate Architecture Program event on Wednesday, August 6, 2025. A total of 84 new students walked from the SGLC FT UGM to Room K1 DTAP, guided by members of the Architecture Student Association (KMTA) Wiswakharman and the co-facilitators of Pionir Kesatria FT.
At around 2:15 PM WIB, the Head of the Undergraduate Architecture Program, Harry Kurniawan, S.T., M.Sc., Ph.D., greeted the Gadjah Mada Muda (new students) and began his presentation. In general, Infoday serves as an introduction to the program (and/or department) for new students by providing various information, ranging from an overview of the learning process, technical aspects of re-registration and Study Plan Card (KRS) submission, university regulations, curriculum, to the graduation process. This activity is intended to ensure that students do not lose direction when beginning and pursuing their studies, enabling them to make the most of their four years of study.
In addition, the new students were introduced to their academic advisors (Dosen Pembimbing Akademik or DPA) who were present in the room and will assist them in both academic and non-academic matters during their time at the university. The lecturers serving as academic advisors for the 2025 cohort are Dr. Eng. Ir. Ahmad Sarwadi, M.Eng., IPM., Dr. Dyah Titisari Widyastuti, S.T., MUDD., Alexander Rani Suryandono, S.T., M.Arch., Ph.D., and Nur Zahrotunnisaa Zagi, S.T., M.T. Each semester, before classes begin, students are required to consult and obtain approval from their respective academic advisors when submitting their Study Plan Card (KRS).
At this event, the program in collaboration with KMTA also distributed the Academic Guidance Book (BPA), which provides more detailed information related to academic matters. Through this initiative, efforts to enhance transparency and the effectiveness of academic activities for the new students of the 2025 cohort can be realized, in line with Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education.
