The Influence of Information Systems on Students’ Academic Performance at the University of Professional Studies, Accra during the Period of Covid 19

This research aims to examine the Influence of Information Systems on Academic Performance at the University of Professional Studies, Accra during the Covid-19 period. A quantitative methodology was used to assess how the use of information system tools has influenced the performance of students. The study's goals were to determine how UPSA students have adapted to using information system tools, particularly during the pandemic, to identify the benefits and drawbacks of going virtual for UPSA students, and to look at how the use of information systems and students' academic performance are related. In participant selection,192 students from the Faculty of Management Studies were the study's intended target, with a little above 96 per cent (185) response rate. The convenience and purposive sampling techniques were employed. To analyze the data, SPSS Statistics 20 was employed. The results showed that the majority of students have adapted well to using information systems, which has enhanced their study habits, participation in groups, and cumulative grade point average. As a result, the study found a marginally positive link between information system use and academic achievement. In addition, the study found that online learning with information technologies is more expensive than face-to-face instruction, with network issues and high data costs being the two biggest difficulties for students. As a result, it was suggested that the Students' Representative Council and management provide students with credit packages and take into account students in underprivileged areas.
