Sikoola SILASA is an app for recognising student activities outside the classroom, such as internships, competitions, community service (KKN), research and entrepreneurship, as credits (SKS). Students submit their activity, a supervising lecturer verifies it, and the hours are converted using the measure set by Permendiktisaintek No. 39 of 2025: 1 credit equals 45 hours per semester. An achievement that is never converted is just a certificate in a student's folder.

An illustration with sample data. What the regulation asks ### Learning outside the classroom already counts toward the study load. Permendiktisaintek 39/2025 uses one measure for every form of learning, and requires universities to support students who learn outside their own program. - Article 15(6) “A study load of 1 semester credit unit is equivalent to 45 hours per semester.” In practice, internship, competition and community service hours can be measured on the same scale as classroom courses. Permendiktisaintek No. 39 of 2025, Article 15(6) - Article 16(4) The study load “may be fulfilled outside the study program”, whether in another program, at another university, or at an institution outside higher education. In practice, the university needs a clear way to assess, approve and record those activities. Permendiktisaintek No. 39 of 2025, Article 16(4) - Article 18(7) Universities are “obliged to facilitate” students who complete part of their study load outside their program. In practice, a decree on paper is not enough. The process has to run, and you have to be able to show it.

Without one clear flow, recognition depends on whoever has time to chase the paperwork. - This semester A student completes a three-month internship. The paperwork moves from WhatsApp to a desk, from that desk to another, and then it is gone. - Next semester The hours are never converted, so the student still takes a course they already mastered in the field. - At the site visit The assessors ask how the university recognises learning outside the program. All it has is a decree with no record of it ever being used. Try it now ### Enter the activity hours and see how many credits can be recognised. One student, one activity.

The hard part is keeping every step on record for hundreds of students. - 01 #### Decide which activities count and their credit limits The university decides which kinds of activity can be recognised, such as internships, competitions or research, and the credit limit for each. The regulation leaves this to each university. - 02 #### The student submits the activity The student enters the type of activity, place, dates and hours, then attaches the evidence, such as an assignment letter, certificate or logbook. - 03 #### The supervising lecturer verifies it The supervising lecturer checks the evidence and logbook, then approves it or asks for changes. The regulation requires learning outside the university to be guided by a lecturer or a supervisor the university appoints. - 04 #### Convert the hours to credits and record them on the transcript Divide the approved hours by 45 to get the credits, then record them as an equivalent course on the student's transcript. SKS = jam kegiatan yang disetujui ÷ 45 In Sikoola SILASA, steps 2 to 4 run in one flow. Every approval is recorded with a name and a time, so it can be audited at any moment. What's inside ### No more paperwork changing hands. - Online submission with evidence Students upload assignment letters, certificates and logbooks straight from their phones. - Lecturer verification Lecturers approve or request changes in the app, and every decision is recorded. - Automatic hours-to-credits conversion The university sets the measure and the credit limits once, and every submission is calculated automatically. - Recognition of prior learning Earlier work experience and training can be submitted for recognition, under the university's rules. - A complete audit trail Who submitted, who checked and when it was approved can all be traced during the site visit. - Connected to CPL and SPMI Recognised activities are recorded for the CPL calculation and become evidence of standards in SPMI. For the people ### Students, lecturers and student affairs stop waiting on paperwork. - #### Students Know from the start which activities count and for how many credits, so they never repeat a course they already mastered in the field. - #### Supervising lecturers Check logbooks and evidence from one screen, with no stacks of folders and no private messages at midnight. - #### Student affairs and leadership See how many students are active outside the university, where, and how many credits have been recognised, ready to report.

FAQ ### Questions about credit conversion Another question? Ask us directly on WhatsApp #### How do you convert student activities into credits (SKS)? Add up the activity hours verified by the supervising lecturer and divide by 45, because Permendiktisaintek No. 39 of 2025 sets 1 credit at 45 hours per semester. For example, an internship of 24 hours a week for 12 weeks is 288 hours, or 6 credits. The university decides which activities count and the credit limits. #### Does MBKM still apply? The term MBKM became widely known in 2020. The regulation in force today, Permendiktisaintek No. 39 of 2025, still lets students complete part of their study load outside their program and requires universities to support it. Sikoola SILASA follows that current regulation. #### Which activities can be recognised as credits? The regulation names, among others, internships, student exchange, entrepreneurship, research and community service. A university can add other activities under its own policy, such as competitions, and set that list once in Sikoola SILASA. #### Does it apply to every study program? For bachelor's and applied bachelor's programs, yes. The regulation excludes medicine, midwifery and nursing from this provision on learning outside the program, so those programs need their own settings. #### Can lecturers verify from their phones? Yes. Sikoola SILASA runs in the browser, so students and lecturers can submit and verify from a phone or a computer. #### Where is the student activity data stored? On servers or cloud owned by your university, together with the backups. Sikoola does not keep your students' data on our servers. ### How many student achievements are still waiting to be recognised? They have already worked hard in the field. Recognising it takes one tidy flow. Request a quotation letter Chat on WhatsApp now Sikoola Indonesia · Perdos Unhas Tamalanrea, Makassar 90245, Indonesia WhatsApp +62 811 445 4497 · hello@sikoola.com
