The current study examined the association between self-reported depressive symptomology and college academic performance. A significant, negative relationship was found between depression and academic performance. Furthermore, students presenting with moderate levels of depressive symptoms demonstrated lower performance within academic environments compared to those with normal and minimal levels of depression. Results suggest a need for appropriate screening measures and interventions aimed at decreasing moderate depressive symptoms that have the potential to adversely impact academic performance.
