I. INTRODUCTION
The rapid growth and the development of the global economy enable a new trend in the education industry. Many universities aim to achieve world-class universities that can be recognized internationally. Nowadays, universities are struggling to become world-class globally (Shin & Kehm, 2012) and instead, Yudkevich et al. (2015) state that global university rankings like "the Olympic games of higher education". Indeed, some educational institutions claimed themselves as a world-class university (Altbach, 2004;Deem et al., 2008 that will allow some effects on the meaning of university (Byun et al., 2013). However, there is no sufficient confirmation on that claim. That is to say, a proper comprehension of world-class university is needed. A worldclass university itself is a university ranked among the top and the most prestigious academic institutions globally 31 (Altbach & Balán, 2007). Writing in a similar vein, Aula & Tienari (2011) imply that a world-class university is a university with great honor and reputation internationally. Also, Ramaprasad (2011) defines the term as an institution ecology with extremely differentiated but firmly integrated visions. Hence, it has become the top goal of universities around the world, including in Indonesia.
Studying priority policies and programs is one of the important steps that can be taken toward worldclass universities. In particular, the study about priority and policies of institutions can describe the national or government power (see Alperin, 2013) via science and education in a country (Yang & Welch, 2012). Furthermore, according to Tayeb et al. (2016), studying priority policies and programs at King Abdulaziz University (KAU) shows academic and institution strengths. To achieve this, KAU conducted mapping on several critical components to achieve World Class University status (Suyanti, 2011). Universities used different strategies to achieve internationalization. Several universities in Indonesia, like Universitas Indonesia and Institut Pertanian Bogor, carried out internationalization strategies through research policies. Meanwhile, Muhammadiyah University Semarang undertook website optimization (Supradono, 2010). Other universities also must have certain strategies and plan to develop their institution toward world class university further.
World Class University can be achieved using three main factors. First, it must have faculty members and students that have a high concentration of altitude. Second, it must have abundant resources, and lastly, it must have good governance (Salmi, 2009;Margison 2011). These three key factors will integrate and create three basic aspects that become indicators of a world-class status. Those factors are graduates who have high admission in the community, the quality of the research outputs, and transfer of high access technology to various information.
Each university will have different top programs and policies to accomplish these targets. Undeniably, the strategy carried out by UIN Bandung can be observed by the priority policies and programs set out by the institution. Thus, this study was aimed to describe the priority policies and programs implemented by the university to reach the goal. Wieczorek and Hekkert (2012) state that systemic steps are needed to achieve certain goals. Therefore, the results of this study are expected to ensure systemic and measurable steps of UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung in achieving of the world class university indicators.

II. RESEARCH METHOD
The study was conducted in UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung in 2019. It used a qualitative approach to provide deep meaning to the data collected. The study chose this approach since instead of testing a hypothesis, it aimed to describe data, facts, and conditions or tendencies that were present instead. It also analyzed and predicted what must be carried out to achieve the expected condition in the future.
The study used the descriptive method to describe and interpret an object. In this study, the author tried to describe the objective condition of UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung. After describing the institution, the author then set out the policies that will lead to the institution's target toward world class university. All information that is needed for this study was collected from different sources (primary and secondary data). Primary data were obtained from the object under study directly. The data was taken from researchers' direct observation methods as part of the strategic planning team of UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung and interviews via a group discussion forum. While secondary sources are obtained from various sources, including a documentation (i.e. books, reports , and information from parties related to the material being studied). At the same time, secondary sources were achieved from various sources, including documentation. Information from stakeholders, documents, policies, and institutions.
The data analysis method used in this research is descriptive analysis; a descriptive way of analyzing data on the research variables used. Data analysis was carried out with several stages, namely data reduction, data display, inference, and verification. The analysis method of UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung readiness toward world class university is to compare it with QS World University Ranking indicators. These indicators are academic, employment, students, and international component. The four indicators are the results of content validation relating to the substance of world class university indicators. The substance of the predetermined contents was confirmed to policymakers about the extent of UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung availability to achieve the measurable targets. The result of the analysis of the four factors was then described as the main finding of this study. Furthermore, the components described consisted of the objective condition of UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung and its projection. It also contained recommended priority policies and programs for UIN Sunan Gunung 32 Djati Bandung for the period 2019-2023. After formulating the indicators from World Class University, yearly programs are then recommended for priority programs.

A. The current condition and the projection
The current condition of Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung in 2019 can be observed from the Rector Performance Agreement in 2019. Table 1 figures out the data for this agreement. Also, the programs presented in Table 1 were supported by the budget from the Ministry of Religious Affairs. 60% of the budget was used for upgrading access, quality, relevance, and competitiveness of Islamic Higher Education. Meanwhile, 40% of the budget was for supportive programs of Education Management, and other technical tasks of Islamic Education. 56% of the budget comes from pure rupiah; 36% comes from non-tax revenue, and 8% comes from government Sharia Security. A substantial amount of funds is one of the things required to achieve World Class University. For example, the University of Chicago spent two decades and more than $50 million. By current value, it is equivalent to $500 million (Altbach, 2003 Based on the 2019 condition, UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung set the following targets (Table 2) to achieve world-class university status using QS Ranking. Based on Table 2, there are six targets of UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung toward WCU. The targets are academic, employer reputation, citation per lecturer, lecturer student ratio, and, international student and lecturer. If the annual score increase is constantly, UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung will meet 6 QS criteria by 2029. It will rank 500 th Asia World University with score 23. Skor total 2,3 5,3 7,35 10,1 13,85 *AUN-QA: ASEAN University Network; ASIIN: Accreditation Agency for Degree Programs; BAN-PT: Badan Akreditasi Nasional Perguruan Tinggi/ National Higher Education Accreditation Agency; ASEA-UNINET: The ASEAN European Academic University Network; NUNI: Nationwide University Network in Indonesia By browsing to QS Asia University Ranking Page (https://www.topuniversities.com), we can find that 22 universities in Indonesia are on the list of QS Asia University Ranking (by 19 June 2019). Furthermore, from the 22 universities, nine are on the list of QS World University Ranking. Among them are located in West Java, such as IPB, Padjajaran University, and ITB. With effort by UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung to be a world class university, the number of Indonesian universities listed on the QS World University , especially in West Java, will grow. In achieving the target by 2029, UIN Sunan Gunung Djati tries to be consistent with its goal. However, there are still several challenges faced by LPTK. Chiefs among them are B accredited programs, limitation of international visiting professors, low qualification of lecturers, and lecturer language skills. Nevertheless, these issues are being tackled through certain programs by the university.
An increase in world-class university ranking lists can be realized in several ways. For example, Achsan (2014) suggested that conducting online document collaboration among higher education institutions in Indonesia can support it. Further, Setiawan (2009) believes that strategic planning on information systems in higher education institutions can help it to have the quality of WCU. Therefore, UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung can implement such strategies to achieve its goal. Another way can be achieved via research publication (Tie, 2012), and the presence and mobility of international students (Findlay et al., 2012).

After formulating indicators from WCU, the next step for UIN should is to integrate them into annual programs. These indicators will be realized through several recommended priority programs in the period 2019-2023, as seen in Table 3. Formation of professional and proportional public relation Table 3 explains that the policy of priority programs toward WCU is applied to part within the institution with their own planned annual tasks and targets. International office, language center, quality assurance, and public relations can help to achieve UIN Sunan Gunung Djati's targets.. Moreover, aspects of language center, quality assurance, and public relationwith all the components of targetare increasing from year to year. Hopefully, these targets can be achieved by reviewing the current conditions. In the university wich already carry World Class University there are centainly more institution in them.
The first institution is the international office. The presence of international office not only in formal education institution, but non formal educational institution has international office, even the institution is independent because this institution is an investment and is considered to have the production of financial space (Lizieri & Pain, 2014). The second institution is language center. The presence of language center can help local and international of students and lecturers for more knowing about several language. In language center of UIN is Arabic and English training for international class student and lecturer candidates, Bahasa Indonesia training for international students and arabic and anglish training for lecturers (materials for researches and articles for journals with reputation). The third institution is quality assurance. This institution have task is international accreditation. Global competitiveness in higher education is encourage of institution to seek international accreditation such as the country of Taiwan (Hou, 2011). If the international accreditation can improve of quality in higher education so in order to evaluate and improve quality in higher education, a model of value in higher education that connects 37 quality with relevance, access and investment is necessary (Blanco-Ramírez, & Berger, 2014) and this can be done by UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung to improve its quality. And the last institution is public relation with three task (data center, social media and public relation). Information relating to everything of UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung summarized in data center, published through social media and the search for professionals engaged in the filed of public relation. The selection of social media for delivering of information is one of the right way. Social media uses in higher education not only use as tool for teaching, but can role as learning and sharing of information (Test, 2013). These priority programs must become common commitments so they can become realized. On a side note, the psychology part is important in this plan to support the development of World Class University. Psychology can help prepare future leaders that are highly committed to the institution (Ritz & Waldner, 2011). Furthermore, it can also help lecturers to achieve their potential. It also can partake in human resource management and help in the selection of new lecturers and staffs (Seniati, 2009).

C. The descriptive statistics for demography variables
In this study, all the students becoming the samples respond quickly to the distribution of the link of online questionnaires on 23-25 April 2020. Below are the statistics related to the demographic variable, i.e., gender (see Table 4), and the academic information of students, i.e., batch (see Table 5) and range of grade point average (GPA) (see Table 6). Table 4 presents the number of students by denoting gender: 31 males and 33 females. Overall, the females dominantly participate in this survey (51.56%).  Table 5 indicates the number of students by denoting batch: 1 from 2014, 2 from 2017, 32 from 2018, and 29 from 2019. Overall, the students coming from batch 2018 dominantly participate in this survey (50%).  Table 6 exhibits the number of students by denoting three ranges of GPA: 2.51-3.00, 3.01 -3.50, and 3.51-4.00. The total students in the first range are 16, in the second range are 21, in the third range is 27. Overall, the students with a GPA between 3.51 and 4 dominantly participate in this survey (42.19%).

D. The test result of validity and reliability
The validity and reliability test is useful to know the accuracy and consistency of the answer of respondents. In the validity context, the answer will be accurate on each question item if the loading factor is above 0.5 (Sholihin & Ratmono, 2013). In reliability context, the answer to the group of items will be consistent, if the Cronbach Alpha is beyond 0.7 (Ghozali, 2016). Table 7 shows the validity of test result by confirmatory factor analysis and the reliability test result by Cronbach Alpha analysis on items in three dimensions of online learning service quality. a. In the validity test result, because all the loading factor values of each item in three dimensions, the system, the instructor-and-material, the administrative-and-support, are above 0.6 (see Panel A), the answer of the respondents is valid. b. In the reliability test result context, because all the Cronbach Alpha values of the valid items in each dimension are beyond 0.7 (see Panel B), the answer of the respondents to these items is reliable. Table 8 notifies the validity test result by confirmatory factor analysis and the reliability test result by Cronbach Alpha analysis on items in student satisfaction. a. In the validity test result, because all the loading factor values of each item for student satisfaction are above 0.7 (see Panel A), the answer of the respondents is valid. b. In the reliability test result context, because all the Cronbach Alpha values of the valid items for student satisfaction are beyond 0.7 (see Panel B), the answer of the respondents to these items is reliable.

E. The estimation result of the research model
From the previous section, the validity and reliability test already get fulfilled. After that, the next stage is resulting in the variance-based structural equation model estimation by Warp PLS 3, shown in Table 9. From this table, the probability value of the t-statistic of OLSQ got is <0.001. Because this value is lower than a 5% significant level, the null hypothesis needs to refuse. Instead, the alternative hypothesis has to receive.

F. Discussion
This study successfully proves that online learning service quality positively contributes to the satisfaction of the students. Therefore, this situation also supports the finding of Pham et al. (2019) and the investigation employing students from the open university that counting on the long-distance online learning, as conducted by Maria et al. (2015). Also, the result of this study is consistent with the research taking the parts of online learning, as executed by Lee (2010) Practically, this research is useful to the Universitas Kristen Krida Wacana starts focusing on online learning. What the university gives attention to is on the low response of strongly agree and agree. This response exists if less than 60% of respondents with two statements are available. For the dimension of the system, the follow-up action given is on SYS1, SYS5, and SYS6 (see Table 10). Based on this evidence, the responsible unit has to able: a. to make the instruction on the online website easy to track for the students b. to make the website attract the student attention c. to make the promise on the online learning website immediately achieved For the dimension of the instructor and material, the focus of follow-up action has to be on ICM2, ICM3, ICM4, ICM5, and ICM12 (see Table 11). a. Linked to ICM2 and ICM3, the lecturer has to able to make the students understand and be interested in studying the course materials. b. Linked to ICM4 and ICM12, the lecturer should give a longer duration for the students to finish their exams and assignments. By executing it, the students have sufficient time to think to solve the hard problems. 40 c. Linked to ICM5, the lecturer should quickly respond to fulfilling the student needs. For the dimension of the administrative and support, the focus of follow-up action has to be on AS1, AS2, AS3, AS5, AS6, and AS7 (see Table 12). a. Related to AS1, the campus has to socialize the unit facilitating online learning to the students. b. Related to AS2 and AS3, the staff members have to make the schedule related to the service. c. Related to AS5 and AS6, the campus has to give the incentive to the staff members so that they prioritize the students. d. Related to AS7, the staff members must have the flexibility of time to serve the students. By focusing on priority policies and programs above, UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung is expected to meet the standard criteria of QS World University Ranking by 2029. Therefore, this plan must become common will and effort among the academic community in UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung without exception. Becoming World Class University is an intention and determination that is not making it up and uppearing suddenly. Morevoer, several benefit from this research is 1) Practically, this research can measure the readiness of UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung in reaching WCU with the QS Ranking indicator, 2) Managerially, this research can map units in the UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung environment to prepare themselves to fit the predetermined targets and 3) Socially, become a benchmark for other campuses to achieve WCU according to the QS Ranking indicator. In the future, the researchers recommend further research and the use of different data collection methods and methods to produce different and more comprehensive data.
