Student course engagement and academic life satisfaction are two determinants of student success. In university courses, student course engagement holds the power to shape numerous results, including learning, achievements, retention rates, satisfaction levels, and overall academic success. Academic life satisfaction, on the other hand, is defined as the student's attitude and sense of well-being with regard to their learning activities. Academic life satisfaction also plays a significant role in shaping student course engagement. This study utilized descriptive-predictive research design which provides insights into the levels of student course engagement and academic life satisfaction. The research aims to identify correlations and predictors, particularly the impact of academic life satisfaction on student course engagement. The study was particularly joined by 350 college students using a simple random sampling comprising first-year to fourth-year level students. The data interpretation is performed by Jamovi software together with Excel. The gathered data go through the test of normality using the Shapiro-Wilk Test which shows not normally distributed data because of the outliers. The result shows that student course engagement and academic life satisfaction have a significant relationship. The overall student course engagement of the college students had a mean score (x̄= 3.72, SD= .736) reflecting an overall positively engaged analysis.  In addition, the overall Academic Life Satisfaction of the college students had a mean score of (x̄= 3.75, SD= .628) shows that the satisfaction is oftentimes evident, indicating a generally positive perception of their personal and academic circumstances. Moreover, using Linear Regression Analysis, personal satisfaction is the only predictor that contributes to student course engagement among the respondents. Linear regression analysis indicates a positive correlation between two variables: as the student becomes satisfied, the more they will engage themselves in certain activities. Lastly, this study is beneficial to the current student enrollee in the institution by knowing one of the factors that predict academic success.
