ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to investigate factors that affected student satisfaction in college environment in Armenian Higher Educational Institutions (AHEIs) and (2) to examine the relationship between student satisfaction and their academic performance in AHEIs. Data was collected through a self-reported questionnaire from students in nine public and three private institutions located in different rural and urban areas of Armenia. The sample consisted of 372 respondents. Factors investigated in relation to student satisfaction included: demographics, faculty services, academic experience, student support facilities, campus life and social integration. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used to analyze the data. Multiple Regression analysis indicated relationship between a number of selected satisfaction measurement dimensions and overall student satisfaction. Out of 33 items included in the analysis, seven contributed to the final model. Statistically significant differences were reported for student satisfaction and academic performance. Students who reported lower satisfaction had lower academic performances. This research was guided by a theoretical/conceptual model that was developed based on Astin's (1999) theory of student involvement, Tinto's (1975) retention theory, and Tinto's (1993) attrition theory. Based on the findings of this study, the same model is recommended to AHEIs for consideration when addressing the needs of their students and any needed support programs.
