The mathematics study program of Udayana University operating licence is based on decree letter of Directorate General of Higher Education Number 2843/D/T/2001 dated 31 August 2001. The study program was officially inaugurated its first year student (academic year 2001/2002) on 17 September 2001 (which was two weeks delayed from the university calendar).

The licence extension is based on Directorate General of Higher Education Decree Number 108/DIKTI/Kep/2001 which was extended in 2003/2004 academic year. This extension was only valid for two year. The next extension is based on Directorate General of Higher Education decree number 898/DT/2007 on 20 April 2007. This decree is important in that it serves as a prerequisite of accreditation.
