This study was conducted to determine the intervening effect of student and school related factors on the academic performance of the Bachelor of Science in Accounting Information System students of the Cagayan State University. This study was conducted at the College of Business, Entrepreneurship and Accountancy of Cagayan State University-Andrews Campus, Tuguegarao City where the respondents were enrolled for the SY 2018–2019. The respondents of this study were the Pioneer batch of the BS in Accounting Information System program of the college. The data gathered were tabulated, analyzed and interpreted using the descriptive statistics like frequency counts, rank, percentage and weighted mean. Descriptive method was used to come up with a good result of the study. Result of the study revealed that under the student-related factors, study habits with a mean of 4.53 is considered to have the greatest impact and assigned household chores with a mean of 3.26 is considered to have the least impact affecting the academic performance of the students. The category mean is 4.09 or with a descriptive scale of “agree.” Under the school-related factors, the category mean of 4.06 implies that the BSAIS students perceived that the school-related factors affect their academic performance. The result also shows that there is a significant difference in the perceptions of the student-respondents on the different intervening factors affecting academic performance when grouped according to their personal profile. From the results generated it is therefore recommended that additional studies should be conducted to identify other variables that would have a great impact on the academic performance of students.
