Amid growing enthusiasm for self-improvement in Majalengka, the Sentra Layanan UT (SALUT) Majalengka continues to serve as a vital bridge between the community and higher education. As a service partner of Universitas Terbuka (UT), Indonesia’s state open and distance university, SALUT provides accessible and flexible study opportunities without requiring students to leave their jobs or daily responsibilities.
On 21 February 2026, 325 new UT students from Majalengka participated in the New Student Orientation (OSMB), integrated with Distance Learning Skills Training (PKBJJ). The program aimed to ensure students understand the independent learning model that distinguishes UT from conventional face-to-face universities. Participants were introduced to UT’s online learning system, academic administration, and Learning Management System (LMS), as well as the use of printed modules to support their studies.
Head of SALUT Majalengka, Dr. H. Joko Setiyono, M.Kom., emphasized that success at UT depends on effective study strategies, discipline, and strong self-management. Since its establishment in 2017, SALUT Majalengka has supported student enrollment across 18 registration periods, reinforcing its strategic role in expanding affordable higher education access in the region.
Through initiatives like OSMB and PKBJJ, UT strengthens local human resource development while promoting inclusive and equitable quality education for all.
