Abstract: The study examined Internet usage and academic performance of students in the Faculty of Education, University of Uyo. Two research questions and hypotheses guided that study. The correlational research design was adopted for the study and the population of the study consisted of 4,292 students in the Faculty of Education, University of Uyo during the 2024/2025 academic session. The sample for the study was 385. A structured questionnaire titled Internet Usage and Academic Performance Questionnaire (IUAPQ) was used as instrument for data collection. The instrument was subjected to a face validation and a reliability coefficient index of 0.84 was obtained using Alpha Cronbach statistics. Path analysis was used to answer the research question as well as to test the null hypotheses at .05 level of significance. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between WhatsApp usage, Facebook usage and the academic performance of students in the University of Uyo. It was recommended among others that government should show commitment towards effective integration of Information and Communication Technology into the mainstream of the teaching and learning process.
