<![CDATA[General Background The New Student Admission process is a critical component of Indonesia's educational system, which is increasingly transitioning toward digital platforms to modernize administrative procedures. Specific Background SD Muhammadiyah 1 Pucanganom Sidoarjo has implemented a digital admission system, enabling prospective students to complete all enrollment stages entirely online without physical school visits. Knowledge Gap While digital admissions promise convenience, comprehensive analyses addressing the complex interplay between system accessibility, data security, and the persistent digital divide remain scarce. Aims This study analyzes the extent to which the digital system improves accessibility, transparency, and efficiency while identifying the specific infrastructural and socio-technical challenges hindering optimal implementation. Results Utilizing a qualitative descriptive approach via in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis, findings indicate the system successfully streamlined administrative burdens and provided real-time transparency. However, significant barriers emerged, including inadequate internet infrastructure in remote areas, low digital literacy among economically disadvantaged parents, and limited server capacity during peak registration. Novelty This research specifically isolates the home service admission model to highlight the friction between administrative digitalization and equitable educational access in developing technological infrastructures. Implications Ensuring a truly inclusive digital admission system requires cross-sector collaboration to upgrade technological infrastructure, continuous community digital literacy training, and strict data security protocols. Highlights: The home service model significantly reduces administrative burdens and offers real-time transparency for parents. Inadequate rural internet connectivity and low parental digital literacy severely impede equitable system accessibility. Cross-sector collaboration and community-focused digital literacy training are crucial for sustainable digital education platforms.
