 Abstract 

 

Indonesia Computer University applied for tracer study in 2016 for 2014 graduates by an online survey. Short messages system, email blast and social media are used to communicate with the alumni. Graduates received the password and username to enter the website of search tracker. Questions for this research were adopted from Indonesia Higher Education Directorate (Dikti) questioner. The questioner was modified to implement UNIKOM main subjects which are computer application (software), hardware and entrepreneurship. The website for this research is http://survey.alumni.unikom.ac.id/, and the alumni could participate by accessing this website. There is a special website for the administrator to manage studies, http://survey.alumni.unikom.ac.id/ administrator/index.php. This research focuses on the respond percentage and alumni characteristics (transition period, job nowadays, vertical and horizontal relevance, competence). The result shows that the respond percentage in 2016 research for 2014 graduates is 28%. The median period of transition is four months, and 34% of alumni were employed before graduation. Approximately 83% graduates claimed that their course has close relations with the level of their jobs recently. While 62% said that their education is equal to their occupation. The competence gap between the university contribution and alumni which is zero was found in research skills. These show that UNIKOM has achieved its graduates aim in research skills competence.
