Abstract
Evaluation of services is a concern in academic institutions for improving the quality criterion. By finding the gap between students' expectations and understandings of offered services in different dimensions, we can propose strategies which help to enhance the quality of servicers. Using Servequal approach, this study is aimed to evaluate educational services for Estahban's Payam-e-Nour University students, who studied from 2014 to 2015. In this study, using Cochran's method, 300 individuals from a population of 1200 students were selected as a research sample. Data collection tools included is a questionnaire based on Servequal tool, whose validity was approved through a face/content method; and its reliability was approved through Cronbach' Alpha method and Split-Half method. Findings showed that in each of the five dimensions of service quality, there is a negative gap, which proposed that students' demands are not metout completely . The greatest amount of gap in the service quality was related to the assurance dimension, and the least amount of gap was related to the accountability dimension. On the other hand, it was made clear that, in "expectations and perceptions" dimension, opinions of student groups differed variably; these groups included different genders, terms, and educational status
