Findings obtained from the data collected have led to the conclusion that there is no significant relationship between the demographic profile, procrastination, and academic grit of the respondents; therefore, it signifies that procrastination and academic grit may be influenced more by various factors, including one’s motivation, habits or behaviors, personality, and time management skills. On the other hand, in terms of procrastination and academic grit, the result showed that there is a significant relationship between them, which signifies that academic grit has a crucial role in combating procrastination habits of the students. Based on the results, majority of the respondents displayed low level of procrastination which signifies that students who are enrolled in board courses tend to be effective in organizing their time and efforts. Students may also have the ability to adapt in changing situations and confident in one’s ability to perform academic tasks. Thus, students taking board courses may have clear goals such as passing the board exam which motivate them to stay on track and avoid procrastination. On the other hand, majority of the respondents displayed high level of academic grit which signifies that despite the hardships that college students faced, they still tend to work hard and stick to their long- term goals. Therefore, guidance program plan modules were proposed to mitigate procrastination tendencies and foster academic grit of the students.
