Abstract: The Green Campus represents an educational institution that prioritizes environmental sustainability and integrates green practices into its infrastructure, policies, and culture. The Green Campus aims to reduce environmental impact by conserving resources, minimizing waste, promoting renewable energy, and improving air and water quality. However, in the pursuit of Green Campus sustainability, there are still several issues that need attention and immediate action. Therefore, three objectives have been set in this study: to identify the level of awareness and practices of Green Campus among the Polytechnic community, to assess the factors influencing the level of awareness of the Polytechnic community towards Green Campus practices, and to develop a Green Campus action plan as a guideline for Malaysian Polytechnics. This study will use a questionnaire as the research instrument. Seven Polytechnics involved in the 2022 UI Green Metric assessment have been selected as the study sample. The findings show that the level of awareness and practices of Green Campus is still at a moderate level among the Polytechnic community. Meanwhile, 17 factors influencing awareness and practices of Green Campus among the Polytechnic community have been listed. This study has also successfully developed a Green Campus action plan as a guideline for Malaysian Polytechnics in preserving the Green Campus. In conclusion, the results of this study can be used as a reference by Malaysian Polytechnics to improve the implementation of the Green Campus.
