The main issues studied include the SPMI system/cycle, the role of students in SPMI, the obstacles experienced, the impact of SPMI implementation on learning success, as well as the process of evaluating and improving SPMI. This study uses a qualitative approach to gain a deep understanding of the observed phenomenon. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with lecturers, quality assurance unit staff, and academic administrative staff, as well as analysis of policy documents and procedures related to SPMI. The purpose of this study was to analyze the implementation of SPMI at the Vocational Faculty of Airlangga University, understand the role of students in SPMI, identify obstacles, and analyze the impact of SPMI implementation. The results of the study show that the implementation of SPMI at the Vocational Faculty of Airlangga University involves a structured cycle with clear stages. The role of students in SPMI provides input on the quality of learning and evaluation of lecturer performance. The obstacle faced was the lack of communication and coordination with the assessors.
