The study was of a basic type, of descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional design, consisting of a sample of 144 university students, 58.3% women and 41.7% men, with an average of 24.15 years and a SD = 5.15 years, applying the Academic Procrastination Scale of 12 items and the Psychological Well-being Scale of 13 items. Academic procrastination independent of sex, age, type of university and degree of education has been shown to be predominantly medium (50%), while psychological well-being was also medium (51.4%) with a low trend; in this way the inferential analysis demonstrates a negative correlation at the general level (p<,000; rho=-.302) and by dimensions in academic self-regulation (p<,001; rho=-.322) and the postponement of activities (p=.047; rho=-.166) however, these are not highly significant. Procrastination is inversely proportional to the medium level in the regulation of virtual classes.
