The aim of this research was to examine the relationship between academic procrastination, academic locus of control, personality traits and academic success. The relationship between academic procrastination and personality traits was also examined. Variables used in this research explained 20.1% of the variance of academic success. Academic procrastination is not a significant predictor for explaining academic achievement. The results also show that a higher degree of academic procrastination is connected with lower grades, and vice versa. Significant predictors of academic success are conscientiousness and neuroticism. This research showed that academic procrastination is connected with high results on neuroticism, and low results on conscientiousness. Internal locus of control is a significant predictor of academic success, which explains that students with internal locus of control have better academic success than students with external locus of control.
