Quality in higher education conceptualization models were identified based on the literature review. Existing models related to perceived quality served as basic frameworks to develop an inclusive set of quality factors to be investigated. Sixty-six quality items were adopted. Students' perceived importance of each of these sixty-six items was examined. Differences in perceptions were investigated for students of different years of study, Faculty of registration, and sex.
