This study used a quantitative design and facilitated correlational descriptive survey research methods. It uses surveys to gather data on the two variables. These data aim to know the correlation between students’ engagement and study habits in an online distance learning environment. It involves 51 undergraduate students from different academic programs. Pearson-r value is 0.65, indicating a Moderate Uphill (positive) Correlation between students’ engagement and students study habits.
