              <text>This study investigated students’ perceptions on service delivery at the Zimbabwe Open&#13;
University Masvingo Regional Campus. The study employed the qualitative descriptive&#13;
survey design. It generated qualitative data using a questionnaire with open and closed items.&#13;
A sample of 92 students was selected from a population of 1500 returning students using the&#13;
stratified random sampling technique. Data was presented in simple frequency tables and&#13;
analysed thematically. The study found out that students were satisfied with the examination&#13;
management, fees payment structure, module distribution, enquiries, student tutor relationship&#13;
and academic advisement. They expressed dissatisfaction with registration process,&#13;
tutorials, library services, assignment management, overcrowded offices and communication. The&#13;
study recommended that urgent steps must be taken by the university to expedite the registration&#13;
process, provide on line services, expand library, train staff in customer care and mobilise resources&#13;
that adequately support the growing student population. Further research can be done in customer&#13;
care and assignment management</text>
