A total of 148 students participated through a non-probabilistic intentional sampling. After informed consent, the Academic Procrastination Scale (EPA) was applied, which evaluates the levels of academic procrastination taking into account two dimensions: procrastination of activities and academic self-regulation. The results were analyzed through descriptive statistics and Spearman's correlation coefficient was used in the SPSS 21 program.
