Abstract
This research paper presents a case study of the methodology that narrates the quality assurance and assessment efforts taken by a higher education institution for the last 10 years; how the scope and nature of quality assurance processes, their performance indicators and the need of trainings have been defined and implemented by the institution; how the Saudi government's full commitment and support for quality improvements have triggered different stakeholders in universities to become aware of ensuring and monitoring quality at all the levels. The paper focuses on the endeavours done by a young private university to implement a quality assurance system and the major challenges faced by it, during its planning and implementation phases.
