Metode yang digunakan kuantitatif dengan metode survei. Penelitian dilakukan di wilayah kerja Unit Program Belajar Jarak Jauh Universitas Terbuka (UPBJJ-UT) Jayapura. Data diperoleh secara langsung dari seluruh mahasiswa melalui simple random sampling sebanyak 92 sampel melalui sebaran kuisioner. Data penelitian di analisis menggunakan analisis kesenjangan (GAP), Uji Paried Sampel T-Test dan Analisis Kuadran (Analisis Importance Performance Analysis/IPA). Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa uji validitas dan reliabilitas menunjukkan bahwa instrument valid dan reliabel. Uji validitas menunjukkan nilai signifikan 0,000 < 0,05 dan uji reliabilitas menunjukkan nilai Alpha Cronbach 0,810. Analisis GAP menunjukkan bahwa terdapat kesenjangan pada beberapa indikator, yaitu: (a). Kejelasan informasi tentang UT (-0,15); (b). Layanan pemrosesan bekas registrasi (-0,01); (c). Kualitas fasilitas tempat tutorial (-0,10); (d). Penguasaan materi instruktur (-,02); dan (e). Kemudahan memperoleh bahan ajar (-0,08). Hasil uji beda paired sampel T-Test menunjukkan bahwa Sig < Alpha ( 0,001 < 0,05) artinya terjadi perbedaan antara kepentingan dan kepuasan. Disimpulkan bahwa pelayanan informasi tentang Universitas Terbuka, kualitas fasilitas tempat tutorial dan umpan balik yang diberikan tutor terhadap latihan/tugas perlu diperbaiki, sehingga mahasiswa memiliki kepuasan terhadap layanan teersebut.
