Abstract

Academic stress is a psychological condition frequently encountered by final-year students due to academic demands such as thesis completion, graduation preparation, and the urgency to complete studies within a limited time frame. This study aims to investigate the influence of academic stress on academic help seeking among final-year students in Makassar City. The research applied a quantitative method using simple regression analysis. A total of 406 participants were involved, selected through accidental sampling. The analysis revealed that academic stress positively and significantly affects academic help seeking, contributing six percent to the variance. The findings indicate that increased academic stress corresponds to a greater tendency among students to seek academic assistance. These results provide a basis for higher education institutions to design academic mentoring initiatives and counseling services that support students in managing stress and fostering constructive help-seeking behavior .
