This study was conducted to determine the Academic Performance of college students' in the University of Eastern Philippines during the school year 2011 - 2012. Specifically, determined the academic performance of the college students in the University of Eastern Philippines: find out the significant relationship between the predictors and the academic performance of the students and which among the predictors had the most predictive value for the college students' performance and which had the least predictive value. The findings clearly suggest that high school1 academic performance of the students significantly predicted their college performance. It means that their performance in high school in terms of high school general grade point average in English, HSGPA in Science and HSGPA in Mathematics determined their college performance. The English Placement Test and OLSAT result predicting academic performance established the predictive validity of these pre-college tests. Students performing well in these two tests were expected to perform well also as college students. The results showed that the English Placement test had the most predictive value while the high school GPA in Science had the least predictive value.
