Background: Academic procrastination had been reported widely to be in association with unwanted behaviours among university students. However, this association was not studied extensively in higher educational institutions. Aim: This research aimed to measure the level of academic procrastination among college students and the unwanted behaviours among faculty members from students' viewpoints. Method: The research sample consisted of 430 students randomly selected for the summer semester 2016/2017 using the descriptive correlation approach. An instrument to measure academic procrastination was developed to achieve the aims of the research. Results: The findings indicated that the level of academic procrastination was medium, whereas unwanted behaviours were high. The findings result showed a negative association between academic procrastination and unwanted behaviours. One of the most dimensions of unwanted behaviours that forecasted academic procrastination is the dimension of managing and organising classrooms. Keywords: Academic procrastination; educational psychology; descriptive approach; university students/Jordan; unwanted behaviours.
