Abstract

The study determines achievement goals and school adjustment as they relate to academic performance among University students. Correlational design was adopted as the design for this study. The population of the study consists of 23,271 undergraduate students from the seven Faculties of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University. A proportionate stratified sampling technique was employed in selecting 1,200 students as sample of the study. An achievement goals instrument adopted from previous studies was used for data collection. While the academic performance of the students was measured using students CGPA. The data were analyzed using regression. Findings from the study show that there was a relationship of 37.582 as against P-value = .006) between achievement goals, school adjustment and academic performance among the ATBU student. Counseling is therefore recommended to be used as a means to help students set their academic goals as well as to properly adjust in the university setting for better academic achievement in the university.
