The purpose of this study was to determine the most dominant factor in students' difficulties in completing their thesis. In this study, researchers used data mining techniques using the C4.5 algorithm. Sources of research data used were obtained from interviews and questionnaires to students randomly in the STIKOM Tunas Bangsa Pematangsiantar environment. The research variables used were motivation to graduate on time (C1), ability to write scientific papers (C2), availability of learning resources (C3), guidance process (C4), and peer environment (C5).
