Academic performance is a critical component in the constellation of factors influencing student success. The lack of study about factors affecting the academic performance among Bachelor Computer and Mathematical Science students led the researchers to study this topic. The factors that are considered to affect academic performance in this study are time management, quality of sleep, internet addiction, and people surrounding. This study aims to determine whether the factors differed based on the academic performance of students and to examine the association between the factors affecting academic performance and academic performance of students. Academic performance is evaluated in this study by using a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA). The population for this study is Bachelor of Computer and Mathematical Science students in the Faculty of Computer and Mathematical Sciences (FSKM), UiTM Shah Alam, Selangor. The data from this study is primary data. This study used a stratified sampling design that was carried out through a questionnaire. The Social Sciences Statistical Package (SPSS) software was used to analyze the collected data. This study used an independent t-test to evaluate the first objective and binary logistic regression to achieve the second objective. The result from the independent t-test shows that only factor time management differed based on the group of CGPA (not dean list and dean list). Other variables do not have different mean based on CGPA. It can be concluded that the students must manage their time wisely to get a good result in academics.
