The study sought to identify the factors influencing the academic performance of BS Criminology students at Batangas State University–Pablo Borbon Campus during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also considered the respondents’ profile variables, including sex, year level, internet connectivity, student classification, and general weighted average. In addition, the study aimed to determine whether significant differences existed in the factors affecting academic performance when students were grouped according to these profile variables. A descriptive research method was employed, and self-constructed survey questionnaires were administered to selected second-, third-, and fourth-year BS Criminology students, totaling 230 participants. Findings showed that most respondents were female second-year regular students with limited data access and a general weighted average ranging from 1.51 to 1.75. The respondents agreed that the learning environment, teaching strategies, and students’ attitudes were the primary factors influencing academic performance. Lastly, the researchers recommended activities designed to address these factors by enhancing student engagement, supporting instructors, and improving institutional online learning quality.
