The timeliness of graduation is used as the success of students in pursuing education which can be seen from the time taken and measured by the predicate of graduation obtained. The characteristics of students who tend to graduate not or on time can be analyzed using classification techniques. Classification and Regression Tree (CART) is one of the classification tree methods. There is a weakness in CART, which is less stable in predicting a single classification tree. The weaknesses in CART can be improved by using Ensemble methods, one of which is Bootstrap Aggregating (Bagging) which can reduce classification errors and increase accuracy in a single classification model. This study aims to classify and determine the accuracy of Bagging CART in the case of the accuracy of student graduation classification. The number of samples used is 140 data on the graduation status of Untan Statistics Study Program students from Period I of the 2017/2018 academic year to Period II of the 2022/2023 academic year. The variables used are the timeliness of graduation which is categorized into two namely Not and On Time, Gender, Semester 1 GPA, Semester 2 GPA, Semester 3 GPA, Semester 4 GPA, Region of Origin Domicile, High School Accreditation, Entry Path, Scholarship, and first TUTEP. A good classification can be seen from the accuracy value. The CART method obtained an accuracy value of 70%. While using the CART Bagging method obtained an accuracy value of 85.71%. Based on the accuracy value obtained, the application of the CART Bagging method can increase accuracy and correct classification errors on a single CART classification tree by 15.71% by resampling 25 times.
