This study aims to analyze the influence of different types of student organizations—internal campus organizations, external campus organizations, and a combination of both on the Grade Point Average (GPA) of Science Education students enrolled in the 2023 batch of the State University of Medan. The background of the study stems from the findings of various studies showing that organizational activities can develop non-academic competencies such as time management, leadership, and learning motivation, which have the potential to influence student academic achievement. The study used a comparative descriptive quantitative approach with a saturated sampling technique, involving all students who were actively involved in organizations and were willing to complete a questionnaire. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics to observe trends in GPA differences in each organizational group. The results showed that students active in internal organizations had an average GPA of 3.636; students in external organizations 3.612; while students who participated in both types of organizations achieved the highest GPA, namely 3.729. These findings confirm that organizational activities do not hinder academic achievement, but instead provide a positive contribution if students are able to manage their time and responsibilities well. This study has implications for the development of student policies that encourage balanced and structured organizational involvement. Abstrak.
