Periode akhir semester seringkali dianggap sebagai tahap kritis bagi mahasiswa dan menjadi titik fokus untuk menyelesaikan pendidikan dengan tepat waktu. Banyak permintaan dari luar ataupun dari orang tua yang ingin melihat anaknya meraih gelar yang dibanggakannya, tuntutan dari pihak akademik, sehingga mengalami tekanan yang memungkinkan akan mengalami stres akademik. Di Aceh, khususnya di Universitas Syiah Kuala, sekitar 69,3% mahasiswa mengalami stres akademik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara penyesuaian akademik dengan stres akademik pada mahasiswa tingkat akhir di Universitas Syiah Kuala. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan jenis korelasi. Teknik penentuan sampel menggunakan Purposive Sampling dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 307 mahasiswa tingkat akhir di Universitas Syiah Kuala. Instrumen penelitian yaitu Academic Adjustment Scale (AAS) dan Educational Stress Scale for Adolescents (ESSA). Dari hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang positif antara academic lifestyle dengan stres akademik dengan nilai signifikansi (p)=0.001 dan nilai koefisien korelasi (r)=0.393, terdapat hubungan yang positif antara academic achievement dengan stres akademik dengan nilai signifikansi (p)=0.001 dan koefisien korelasi (r)=0.367, dan terdapat hubungan yang positif antara academic motivation dengan stres akademik dengan nilai signifikansi (p)=0.022 dan nilai koefisien korelasi (r)=0.131. hal ini dapat diartikan bahwa semakin tinggi penyesuaian akademik maka semakin tinggi stres akademik.

The final semester period is often considered a critical stage for students and is the focus point for completing their education on time. There are many requests from outside or from parents who want to see their children achieve a degree they are proud of, demands from the academic side, so they experience pressure which makes it possible to experience academic stress. In Aceh, especially at Syiah Kuala University, around 69.3% of students experience academic stress. This research aims to determine the relationship between academic adjustment and academic stress in final year students at Syiah Kuala University. This research uses a quantitative approach with a correlation type. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with a total sample of 307 final year students at Syiah Kuala University. The research instruments are the Academic Adjustment Scale (AAS) and the Educational Stress Scale for Adolescents (ESSA). The research results show that there is a positive relationship between academic lifestyle and academic stress with a significance value (p) = 0.001 and a correlation coefficient value (r) = 0.393, there is a positive relationship between academic achievement and academic stress with a significance value (p) = 0.001 and a correlation coefficient (r) = 0.367, and there is a positive relationship between academic motivation and academic stress with a significance value (p) = 0.022 and a correlation coefficient value (r) = 0.131. This can be interpreted that the higher the academic adjustment, the higher the academic stress.
