Abstract - The utilization of Information Technology (IT)
in higher education setting aims to enhance the quality of
education, and this initiative is realized through the
implementation of Information Technology at the Institute of
Health Sciences and Technology Muhammadiyah
Palembang (IKesT MP) in the form of an Academic
Information System (SIMAKAD). SIMAKAD is a vital role as
a tool to manage internal data and serves as an information
hub for students. This research is conducted to evaluate the
acceptance level of the UTAUT2 model and the impact of both
the main and target variables within the UTAUT2 model.
This research utilizes a quantitative method with 150
respondents, analyzed using SMART PLS 3.0 software."
software. The research findings indicate that the acceptance
level of the UTAUT2 model reaches 74%, signifying a high
adoption rate. Variables like Perceived Value (p-Value: 0.019)
and Habit (p-Value: 0.009) significantly influence Behavioral
Intention, with a p-Value < 0.05, indicating that their
hypotheses are accepted. On the other hand, variables such as
Performance Expectancy (p-Value: 0.660), Effort Expectancy
(p-Value: 0.417), Social Influence (p-Value: 0.652), and
Facilitating Conditions (p-Value: 0.292) There is no
substantial influence on Behavioral Intention as a result of
using Information Technology (IT), indicating that their
hypotheses have not been endorsed.. Additionally, the variable
Hedonic Motivation (p-Value: 0.978) also does not can
significantly impact one's inclination toward a behavior

Intention. However, variables Facilitating Conditions (p-
Value: 0.000) and Behavioral Intention (p-Value: 0.000) have

a positive impact on Use Behavior, indicating that their

hypotheses are accepted. Conversely, the variable Habit (p-
Value: 0.915) Does not exert a significant impact on Uss

Behavior, resulting in the rejection of its
