UNY Vice Rector for Academic Affairs, Prof. Nur Hidayanto Pancoro Setyo Putro, congratulated the newly admitted students and encouraged them to make the most of the opportunity.
"Congratulations to all prospective UNY students admitted through the SNBT pathway. This year, UNY attracted 60,063 applicants. Make the most of this opportunity because it may not come twice," he said.
He also reminded admitted students to complete academic document verification and registration according to the official schedule.
Head of UNY Admissions, Dr. Bambang Saptono, explained that all admitted students must complete the socio-economic data form for the determination of the Single Tuition Fee (UKT) through the UNY registration portal using their SNBT participant number and date of birth. The submission period runs from May 26 to June 10, 2026.
Students who fail to submit the required information by the deadline will automatically be assigned the highest UKT category. The tuition fee determination results will be announced on June 15, 2026.
Non-KIP Scholarship recipients are required to pay the UKT, medical and drug screening fees, and physical fitness package fees between June 15 and June 29, 2026, through designated partner banks using a Virtual Account generated during the registration process.
Recipients of the Indonesia Smart College Card (KIP-Kuliah) are only required to pay the medical examination, drug screening, and physical fitness package fees during the same period. Their tuition fees will be processed after the official confirmation of scholarship recipients by the Higher Education Financing and Assessment Center (PPAPT) of the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology.
UNY emphasized that tuition and registration payments are non-refundable, except in cases where applicants fail to graduate from senior secondary school or its equivalent.
Prospective students must complete their online registration through the UNY registration portal between June 15 and June 30, 2026 using their SNBT participant number and date of birth.
For applicants who were not admitted through the SNBT pathway, Dr. Bambang Saptono encouraged them not to lose hope, as UNY continues to offer Independent Admission (Seleksi Mandiri) for both undergraduate and applied bachelor's programs through various admission schemes. In addition, UNY is accepting applications for its International Undergraduate Program (IUP) until July 3, 2026.
