This study examines the significant influence of class scheduling on the academic performance of first-year engineering students at Cebu Institute of Technology University (CIT-U). Using data from grades and attendance records of 60 students enrolled in the computer programming course, this paper examines the effect of class schedule on academic performance among students in morning classes that start at 7:30 AM until 10:30 AM and afternoon classes that start from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM. A between-subject research design using a two-sample, one-tailed t-test was applied on the dataset to achieve the research objectives. The result reveals that students in afternoon classes achieve significantly higher grades than the morning classes. Additionally, a moderate correlation was found between attendance and grades, indicating that regular attendance positively influences academic performance. These findings highlight the critical role of class scheduling in enhancing students' academic success and suggest that optimizing class schedules could improve both well-being and performance at Cebu Institute of Technology—University.
