umkt.ac.id, Samarinda – Universitas Muhammadiyah Kalimantan Timur (UMKT) held a comprehensive evaluation and preparation meeting for the Even Semester of the 2025/2026 Academic Year on Tuesday (4/2). The meeting was conducted in a hybrid format, combining an in-person session at the Building G Meeting Room with a virtual presence via Zoom Cloud Meetings.

The session was attended by a broad range of university leadership, including the heads of the Quality Assurance Board, the Al-Islam and Muhammadiyah Studies (AIMS) and General Education Board, Vice Deans for Academic Affairs, the Faculty Quality Assurance Task Force, and various bureau heads overseeing administration, assets, and public relations.

Abdul Halim, Vice Rector for Academic, Quality Assurance, Student, and Alumni Affairs, underscored that evaluating the previous semester’s performance is a critical benchmark for developing academic quality. He reminded attendees that preparation involves more than just scheduling; it is about rigorous adherence to internal quality standards.

“This evaluation is a moment of collective reflection. We must ensure our teaching processes not only comply with established standards but also serve as a stepping stone for continuous improvement in UMKT’s educational quality,” Halim explained.

Representing the faculty perspective, Mursidah Nurfadilah, Head of the Academic, Public Relations, and Admission Bureau, outlined the strategic focus for the upcoming term. She highlighted the importance of curriculum synchronization and the optimization of lecturing hours.

“Faculty readiness must be measurable, from initial course planning to classroom implementation. Seamless cross-unit coordination is the 'key ingredient' to ensuring our teaching and learning processes remain effective and aligned with university policy,” Mursidah stated.

On the technical front, Jubaidi, Head of the Academic Administration Section, provided a detailed roadmap for administrative readiness. This includes the management of lecture schedules, the optimization of academic digital systems, and support services for both faculty and students. He reaffirmed that a smooth administrative mechanism is the backbone of successful campus operations.

Through this coordination meeting, UMKT aims to create a unified understanding across all academic units regarding policies and procedures for the 2025/2026 Even Semester.
