In this study, the service performance indicators involved are academic performance, facilities, technology, faculty, transportation, and accommodation whereas the elements of TQM are management support, continuous improvement, training and education, and customer focus. The data have been analyzed using the descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The findings of this research indicated that customer focus is the most important element of TQM in achieving excellent service performance for students at public higher learning institutions.
