Institutional Repository UIN Sunan Kalijaga YogyakartaADAPTASI KOMUNIKASI MAHASISWA NON MUSLIM DI KAMPUS UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTANIM.: 20107030028Dinda Fifi KurniaauthorThis study examines the process of intercultural communication adaptation among non-Muslim students within the academic environment of Universitas Islam Negeri Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta. As an Islamic higher education institution that promotes religious moderation and inclusivity, the university provides an intercultural environment where students from diverse religious backgrounds interact in both academic and social contexts. Intercultural communication adaptation is developed between non-Muslim and Muslim students in everyday campus interactions. This study employs Interaction Adaptation Theory (IAT), focusing on the dimensions of requirements, expectations, and desires. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with five non-Muslim students from different religious and cultural backgrounds, supported by triangulation techniques to ensure data credibility. The results show that intercultural communication adaptation functions as a strategy to reduce cultural barriers and strengthen mutual understanding within the academic environment. Both non-Muslim and Muslim students demonstrate accommodative, respectful, and tolerant communication patterns in building harmonious relationships. Non-Muslim students adapt to the university’s dominant cultural environment, while Muslim students also display openness and flexibility toward religious and cultural differences. These reciprocal adaptation practices contribute to the development of an inclusive and supportive academic atmosphere.302.2 Communication/Komunikasi2026-05-20UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA;FAKULTAS ILMU SOSIAL DAN HUMANIORAThesis
