Abstract: Students’ academic performance and resilience are any Higher Education Institution’s goal. However, the road there is determined by both the obstacles and stepping stones that may hamper or improve these two outcomes. Therefore, it has become a priority for universities all over the world to identify the factors which might positively or negatively affect academic performance and resilience. The aim of this research is to identify the factors which could affect academic performance, to analyze the impact they have on it, and to determine how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected student’s academic resilience. We performed two multiple linear regression and paired samples T-test using IBM SPSS Statistics to test the hypotheses deduced from the theoretical framework. The results show that motivation has a positive influence on academic performance, especially extrinsic motivation, while employment situation, residential environment, and surrounding environment have negative influences, but these are not statistically significant. Furthermore, the academic resilience of students has been affected by the pandemic. In conclusion, we identify motivation as a stepping stone and the other factors as obstacles on the long winding road to academic performance. Keywords: academic performance, employment situation, face to face learning environment, motivation, online learning environment, residential environment, surrounding environment.
