This study explores the application of machine learning to predict students' GPA based on behavioral and time-related factors, including study hours, extracurricular activities, sleep, social interactions, and physical activity. Seven regression algorithms were employed to evaluate predictive accuracy using metrics such as MAE, RMSE, and R2 Among these, Regularized Linear Regression demonstrated the highest accuracy and interpretability, highlighting its suitability for this dataset. The findings emphasize the potential of machine learning in identifying key predictors of academic performance and offer practical applications for personalized academic advising and time management. This research provides a data-driven framework to support students and educators in optimizing learning outcomes.
