Efikasi kendiri merupakan elemen penting yang dapat mempengaruhi tahap pencapaian akademik mahasiswa terutama semasa proses pembelajaran atas talian di musim Covid-19. Kajian ini bertujuan bagi mengenal pasti hubungan efikasi kendiri dengan tahap pencapaian akademik mahasiswa di Jabatan Pengajian Islam Unisel semasa proses pembelajaran bersemuka dan atas talian berdasarkan kepada grade point average (GPA) yang diperoleh daripada semester lepas. Untuk mengetahui hubungan antara efikasi kendiri dan tahap pencapaian akademik memerlukan kaedah kuantitatif. Oleh itu, 30 mahasiswa telah dipilih daripada Jabatan Pengajian Islam Unisel bagi menjawab soal selidik dengan menggunakan aplikasi google form yang dianalisis secara deskriptif dan inferensi dengan menggunakan Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) versi 26.0. Hasil dapatan menunjukkan terdapat korelasi positif antara efikasi kendiri dengan tahap pencapaian akademik mahasiswa apabila nilai p=0.041 yang diperoleh kurang daripada nilai signifikan 0.05. Walau bagaimanapun, nilai korelasi Pearson r=0.375, menunjukkan hubungan antara efikasi kendiri dan tahap pencapaian akademik adalah hubungan positif yang lemah. Namun demikian, ia berpengaruh serta memberi kesan bagi meningkatkan tahap efikasi kendiri sekali gus meningkatkan tahap pencapaian akademik mahasiswa.
