Abstract: Student academic success in college on-line courses was examined in relation to motivation, time-management and organzation. Participants included 40 students enrolled in college on-line courses. The Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire was utilized to identify participants motivation level, time-management skills and organizational skills. A multiple regression analysis was used in order idenify whether motiavtion, time-management and organization were good predictors of success. The results of this analysis indicate that good time-management and lower levels of motivation predict student GPA in their courses. These results suggest that time-management and motivation are important predictors of student academic success in on-line college courses.
