Student exchange is a program with a selection and assessment process. this results in doubts in the decision making that allows a decision error. The selected participant is sometimes far from what was expected because the participant did not have proper criteria. So the research objective is to design and build a decision support system with the Simple Additive Weight (SAW) method and the determination of the weights of each criterion including, English Language Discussion 4%, Ranking 2%, Achievement Value 2%, Non Academic Achievement 3%, Personality Value 4% With the establishment of these criteria to assist in determining student exchange participants. The results of the study in the form of a student exchange decision support system, with this system can help principals in providing alternative decisions in choosing student exchange participants equipped with grades by referring to predetermined decision-making.
