The study sampled 364 students. Voluntary sampling to manage sample composition. Two types of analyses been conducted to achieved research objectives. Descriptive Analysis comes prior to Spearman Rank Correlation. The study assessed students' digital literacy by examining their computer and internet skills and attitude towards technology. 50% of respondents had "Sometimes" to "Every time" application skills. The study also found a weak positive correlation (0.300) between computer and internet skills and technology attitude, indicating room for improvement in encouraging students to use technology. The correlation was significant at 0.01 (p=0.000). University students, mostly women, were surveyed on their digital skills and technology use. Most participants used computers daily and were competent. Students liked technology and preferred using their computers at home. The study indicated a weak positive correlation between digital skills and attitude, suggesting space for improvement in encouraging technology use.
