Objective: Material and social stressors are both well-documented contributors to the onset of psychiatric symptoms. This relationship has not yet been investigated within the context of the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, and within low-income and racially/ethnically diverse urban student populations, who are facing increased stress. Method: Via an online survey, this study assessed material and social stressors and symptom endorsements for depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress (PTS), within a public university student sample at two time points, April 8 through May 2, 2020; n = 2,925; and July 9 through July 31, 2020; n = 1,073; during the pandemic. Results: Multivariate regression analyses assessed the relationship between each diagnostic symptom category and stressor category scores. Analyses yielded stronger associations for total social stressor score and probable anxiety (b = .695,
