It is always in the best interest of educators to measure students’ academic performance. This allows them to evaluate not only students’ knowledge levels but also the effectiveness of their own teaching processes, and perhaps, provide a gauge of student satisfaction (Martirosyan et. al, 2014). In the seven-point agenda of the Mariano Marcos State University to ACHIEVE, first in the list is academic excellence which means exemplary performance of students in both curricular and co-curricular activities.   Aligned to this agenda is the thrust of the College of Business, Economics and Accountancy of attaining excellence, responsiveness, efficiency and effectiveness in producing trained manpower who will assume leadership and responsibility in business, industry and the government by boosting the academic performance of its students. The initial step of doing so is by assessing the academic performance of its students and by knowing and understanding the factors that affect their academic performance, hence this study.
