Abstract
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have become international programs and are adopted by almost all countries in the world. All institutions at various levels and sectors in each country have developed programs to support and accelerate the achievement of the 17 goals of the SDGs, including higher education institutions. However, there are still many universities that are not fully aware of and understand this matter, even though they may carry out programs that are actually related to one or more of the goals of the SDGs. This can be seen from the limited number of universities that have SDGs Center or sustainability office. To focus more on developing programs in higher education and further increasing efforts in order to achieve these goals, educational programs for higher education institutions are needed. This effort can be made by the central government through the relevant ministries, as well as related offices at the provisional government level. In addition, there are several higher education ranking programs that have indirectly educated these higher education institutions about SDGs.

Summary
The Sustainable Development Goals that were initiated by the UN in early 2016 with a target at the end of 2030, have become an international program, which has been approved by almost all countries in the world (sgds.un.org). An understanding of the principles of the SDGs needs to be given to the institution, and to lecturers and students [3] This is important to do because higher education institutions that understand this problem will come up with policies that support the achievement of these targets. Higher education institutions will produce graduates who in the future have a very important role in various sectors and at various levels These graduates will later become decision makers in their institutions, so they must understand the SDGs principles which are expected to be reflected in the policies they take [6]. This article describes the awareness of universities in Indonesia regarding SDGs and how to educate them to increase awareness and be able to apply it in their higher education policies
