The study was carried out under a quantitative approach and a non-experimental design, as a result of the relationship between both variables in the context of a pandemic, it was obtained that there is a significant and inverse relationship between self-regulated learning and academic stress, since the correlation coefficient Spearman's Rho yielded-0.506 and a ρ = 0.000 (ρ <0.05). Therefore, it can be inferred through the present study that the higher selfregulated learning, the lower the incidence of academic stress in university students in times of pandemic.
