Good academic performance gives students advantages such as increased knowledge and skills. However, some students are still less sensitive to the level of communication. This study aims to find out the relationship between the level of communication and academic performance among university students.

A total of 313 students from the IPTA were involved as a study sample using a simple random sampling method. Respondents were asked to complete a questionnaire consisting of six parts.
