During the Covid-19 pandemic, almost all online services including registration of new students. Someone asked, what is the proof that I have registered as a new student at UNY? For UNY new students, they can print the registration paper with their student ID on it. For those who feel that the paper is way too much, The Academic, Student, and Cooperation Bureau of UNY prepared a system so that new students can self-service to print temporary student ID with the same functionality as the regular Student ID Card.

The Head of UNY Academic, Student Affairs and Cooperation Bureau, Drs.

Although the student card is still temporary, the card's function and student status are valid as UNY 2020 students.

Furthermore Setyo Budi said that the making of the original Student Identity Card (KTM) could not be done due to the implementation of physical restrictions (physical distancing) in order to prevent Covid-19, so students could only print Temporary KTM independently which could be printed or stored in computer storage media or cell phone. What is clear is that students can use the ID temporary ID Card as the regular one.

As a requirement to be able to print Temporary KTM are as follows: a. students have registered online at the https://registrasi.uny.ac.id page and have obtained a Student Identification Number (NIM); and b. upload a formal photo, provided that: wear a white formal shirt, wear a black tie, background color for men in blue, for women in red, the format of the photo is uploaded in the form: * jpeg, * jpg, * .gif, or * png with a maximum size of 500 kb. This temporary KTM also applies to new Postgraduate students.

Setyo Budi said: "Later the temporary KTM can be used to register mobile numbers for data package assistance for online learning. Before starting the lecture, registration will be opened to obtain data package assistance. Data package packages have been given to all students who take part in online learning. For those who have never registered or who have registered but the number is wrong will still be given another chance. To note, the registered cellphone number is an active number, the active grace period has not been exhausted, and don't enter the wrong number, just one digit of the data packet assistance can go to someone else ".
