This study aimed to determine the relationship between the use of ChatGPT and the academic performance of selected students from the College of Business Administration and Accountancy (CBAA) at Laguna University. The study focused on how much CBAA students use ChatGPT and how this is related to their academic performance. Specifically, it aimed to answer the following questions: (1) to what extent is ChatGPT used in terms of: (1.1) research, (1.2) assessment tasks, (1.3) exam preparation, and (1.4) writing skills? (2) How does ChatGPT affect the level of academic performance of students in terms of: (2.1) General Weighted Average (GWA), (2.2) academic awards, (2.3) standardized test results, (2.4) class participation, and (2.5) assignment completion rate? (3) Is there a significant relationship between the extent of use of ChatGPT and the academic performance of College of Business Administration and Accountancy (CBAA) students?

The study used a correlational research design. A researcher-made survey questionnaire was used to gather data from selected College of Business Administration and Accountancy (CBAA) students from the Bachelor of Science in Accounting Information System (BSAIS), Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BSA), Bachelor of Science in Tourism Management, and Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship (BSEntrep). Percentage, frequency distribution, and weighted mean were used to describe the responses of the students. Pearson-r correlation was used to determine if there is a significant relationship between the extent of ChatGPT use and the academic performance of the respondents.

The findings revealed that there is a strong relationship between ChatGPT and the academic performance of CBAA students. The positive impact of ChatGPT in students’ academic performance was observed; it is noted that greater use of ChatGPT is consistently connected to higher levels of academic performance, showing that ChatGPT serves as an effective tool that supports students in various aspects of their academic work.
