Abstract

COVID-19 abruptly moved university coursework online. Even amid the pandemic, educators seek to identify factors that contribute to successful course and program completion. Traditionally, time management has been identified as a factor that influences academic success. This study examined pre-pandemic relationships between the use of time management skills and three student lifestyle variables: a) employment, b) involvement in campus organizations, and c) perception of anxiety regarding spending time with friends and family. The findings suggest relationships between student time management skills and these variables, which may have implications for student success and retention in post-pandemic times.
