Cumulative Achievement Index may not be used for decision makers in determining the best students. There are criteria other criteria that influence them are actively organize, have never done a repair value, never follow short semester, never leave. Using these criteria and using Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) based methods applied to decision support systems can deliver the expected outcomes of higher education leaders. Many methods can be used on decision support systems such as Promethee, Promethee II, Electre, AHP, SAW, or TOPSIS. In this discussion, the author uses Extended Promethee II method in determining the best student at a college. Keywords:The Best Student, Exprom II, Extended Promethee II I. INTRODUCTION Students are learners who are actively studying in formal higher education. Students are believed to have a creative mindset in doing every action. In each learning done on the school unit in the form of semester students will get a final grade known as the Semester Achievement Index (IPS). The accumulation of IPS in each semester becomes a Grade Point Average or known as GPA. In one educational unit, it is often difficult for university leaders to determine who is the best student of some students who follow the education process. Students who have the highest GPA in each semester are not necessarily the best students that can be determined by the leadership of a college. Many factors determine a student to be the best. Among the factors that can determine the best students in addition to GPA is actively organizing, has never done a repair value, never follow the short semester, never leave. The number of criteria to be considered will make the taker more complex in generating a decision. To overcome this, the use of decision support system becomes the main solution that must be met by policy makers [1]. Implementation of information systems-based decision support system capable of processing alternative data along with criteria as a requirement of a leader to easily determine the best student of several alternative students. Decision Support System is a system that can help the user, in this case, the manager or leader, do some specific process to determine the best solution [2]. For example, the determination of the best employees by applying the TOPSIS method can result in more efficient decisions [3]. The application of SPK using Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) of them can use TOPSIS method, ELECTRE, AHP, PROMETHEE, SAW, WP [4][5][6]. In this case, the implementation of the Extended Promethee II method can be used to determine the best student based on the criteria specified by several alternatives.
