This was conveyed by the Vice Rector I for Academic, Student, and Alumni Affairs of the University of Sumatra Utara (USU), through the Head of Public Relations, Protocol, and Promotion of USU, Elvi Sumanti, ST, M Hum. The announcement schedule was moved forward considering that the SNMPTN selection process can be completed more quickly. In addition, it is also to provide an opportunity for students who do not pass SNMPTN so that they can register for UTBK Wave I.
In connection with this, Elvi Sumanti, ST, M Hum, said that in the 2019/2020 Academic Year, USU will accept 2,508 prospective students from the SNMPTN pathway.

Participants who pass SNMPTN 2019 are required to be present during registration (re-registration) at the time and place according to the provisions of each PTN (see the announcement on the website of each destination PTN).
