Proper maintenance planning is required to ensure the upkeep for buildings. However, maintenance of university buildings are often plague with challenges such as poor maintenance, increasing maintenance backlogs and insufficiency of budget allocation. Thus, maintenance prioritisation is practiced as part of the solution to these challenges. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of issues and factors related to maintenance prioritisation through literature review. It discusses the issues faced by maintenance manager in deciding priorities for maintenance work. The consideration for factors when deciding maintenance priorities is also presented in this paper. While there are a lot factors listed in previous literatures, this paper attempts to provide a general guideline for the factors that are considered in setting maintenance priorities. These factors are organisation's objective, risk, performance measurement, resources, and stakeholders. By following and incorporating these factors in deciding priorities, a maintenance programme can be designed to achieve better maintenance planning in universities. Â
