Introduction.

This article shows the final results of the research "Analysis of the quality of academic-administrative services in a Colombian university".

Objective.

Determine the perception of students regarding the services offered.

Materials and Methods.

For the measurement, the Servqualing instrument was applied to a sample of 832 students who were selected by the systematic method.

Results.

A factor analysis was carried out which showed three dimensions with 61.39% of the variance explained, KMO = 0.973 and a determinant of 0.01325. The reliability of the measuring instrument using Cronbach's Alpha was 0.949, indicating a high reliability of the scale, and internal and external validity was obtained with significant statistical tests at 5%.

Conclusions.

The results show that the overall quality level of academic administrative services has a good perception with a score of4.08 (80%), indicating that the best results were found in the items associated with dimension 3 and with opportunities for improvement, mainly in dimension 1. These results allow precise guidelines for decision making and lead to continuous improvement of service quality.
