The study aimed to test the hypothesis that there is a significant relationship between students' community engagement practice and their academic performance. The study covered 284 students in total. Data were gathered with the help of the questionnaire. The participants were divided into two groups based on their questionnaire responses: "community-engaged students" and "no community-engaged students." Based on average scores, standard deviation, descriptive statistics, t-tests, and the chi-square test of independence, the data were then examined using SPSS 25. According to the study's findings, students actively involved in their communities received higher grades than those not at all involved. Moreover, while community engagement may have been believed to affect academic achievement, it is statistically significant in this study. Besides, there was a statistically significant association between gender and community engagement in the study. In addition, the study found that students' geographical backgrounds and community engagement were significantly associated. Based on the study's findings, it has been concluded that community engagement and students’ academic success, gender, and geographical background have significant associations.
