This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the behavioral intention and use behavior of the Academic Information System (SIAKAD) at Universitas Muhammadiyah Palangkaraya. Using the UTAUT 2 model adapted for a mandatory system context, the price value and hedonic motivation variables were excluded. This research involved 383 student respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach based on Partial Least Squares (PLS) via SmartPLS 4 software.The results indicate that all variables performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, and habit have a positive and significant effect on behavioral intention (R2=0.502), which subsequently acts as a strong predictor of actual use behavior (R2=0.476). The novelty of this research lies in the modification of the UTAUT 2 model, aligned with the characteristics of mandatory information systems in regional higher education institutions. The findings show that while habits have been formed, the institution needs to strengthen facilitating conditions to minimize semi-manual processes. These results provide a theoretical contribution to the technology adoption literature as well as practical recommendations for university management in optimizing academic digital transformation.
