Abstract: Continuous quality improvement is an endeavour that higher education institutions (HEIs) undertake to evaluate institutional effectiveness and service quality, and to ensure accountability and transparency to its stakeholders such as academics and students. This study positions academic and student surveys as pragmatic mechanisms that HEIs can rely upon to measure and evaluate the quality of the services that they provide. Using a non-profit HEI in the Sultanate of Oman, this study reveals the significant factors that impact the evaluation of HEI experience among academics and students, which include academic advising, classrooms, electronic management systems, general services, laboratories, learning support services, student affairs and society services, and records and registration services. The numerical results of each survey, each dimension and each statement/indicator are computed, discussed, and compared, and several tests were performed, in order to answer the research questions and hypotheses. The implications of the findings and future research directions conclude the paper.
