Abstract	This study investigates the factors influencing the academic performance of third-year criminology students at the Siargao Island Institute of Technology during the academic year 2025-2026. The research primarily examines the effects of family status, technology use, financial support, and teacher-student interaction on students' academic progress. Utilizing a descriptive-quantitative research design, data were gathered from 127 respondents through researcher-validated questionnaires and analyzed using frequency distribution, weighted mean, and the Kruskal-Wallis test. The findings reveal that financial support and teacher-student connection have the most significant impact on performance, directly improving student focus and drive. While technology use and family status play moderate roles, results indicate no significant variation in these effects across age or gender. The study emphasizes the necessity of enhanced institutional support and scholarship programs to ensure high-quality graduates.
Keywords	academic performance, criminology students, teacher-student interaction, financial support, technology use.
