E-learning has become a compulsory learning model for almost all universities in Indonesia since the COVID-19 pandemic hit Indonesia. To improve the online learning process, universities need to carry out evaluations, such as measuring student readiness for e-learning. This study was conducted to identify indicators of student readiness in using e-learning, measuring student readiness scores in using e-learning, and finding out whether differences in gender, cohort by the entry year, and faculty affect e-learning readiness. This research used instruments that have been used in several previous studies, which consist of five dimensions namely Computer Self-Efficacy, Self-Directed Learning, Motivation, Learner Control, and Online Communication Self Efficacy. The respondents were students from X University (a private university) drawn proportionally from all faculties based on the number of students per faculty. The results showed that the e-learning readiness score in X University is good, which is in line with the fact that X University has been partially implementing e-learning before the pandemic period. In X University, gender and cohort entry year factors do not affect e-learning readiness scores, while faculty has an effect. This research also provides suggestions on what activities are needed to improve the implementation of e-learning in each dimension.
