The Head of P2KP UM, Lia Yuliati, explained that the Sipejar access refresher workshop aims to create updates to the ease of access of Sipejar as she also said that Sipejar has been equipped with several new features. "The addition of this new feature is being carried out because it is currently in our country right "Independent Campus" is being implemented so that it is very possible that the courses at UM will be taken by students outside UM, "he explained.

He also added that so far students outside UM who wanted to take part in lectures at UM were usually done manually with login Academic Information System (Siakad) and must be registered first as a UM student so that it can be directed to the courses you want to take. Therefore, the addition of several new features to the Sipejar is expected to make the procedure for taking courses at UM by students outside UM to be more practical.

"In the future, it is hoped that this will no longer be done manually but by activating the 'Independent Campus'," he continued.

This has the consequence that the courses being taught by the lecturer must have been uploaded to Sipejar. Then, the Sipejar application will be connected to the Spada application so that when students are registered for the Merdeka Campus activation. They can directly take the desired course if the quota for the course has not been met.

Through this workshop, he informed that Vice Rector I Prof. Dr. Budi Eko Soetjipto, M.Ed., M.Si. has distributed letters to each coordinator of study programs to prepare various debriefings that will be offered to students other than UM students. "In this regard, the lecturers in the study program or department need to hold a return on how the technicians fill Sipejar. And the Sipejar filling will be optimized for the uses of several activities in Sipejar such as Assignment, Label, Lesson, and others." He explained.
