Using customer satisfaction theory (CST), this study measures the relationships among the variables of satisfaction, awareness, perception, attitude, behaviour and usage of the IIUM website.

A quantitative research design using the survey method with a self-administered questionnaire is used for data collection. A total of 409 students participated in this study. The results show that all the levels of tested variables: satisfaction, awareness, perception, attitude, behaviour and usage are positively related. Attitude is the best predictor for satisfaction in using the IIUM website. Students agree that the IIUM website is very useful for them through their college years. They rely on the website for their academic-related activities, course registration and downloading study materials online. Thus, the results support the CST that focuses on user satisfaction. For suggestions, IIUM needs to regularly update the information on its website. The interface of the website needs to be attractive, simple and easy for users to search for academic-related information. Further, with the heavy usage of the smartphone among students, the website should have the mobile application to increase the users’ satisfaction level in using the IIUM website.
