Objective: To analyze how university students self-evaluate their academic performance during the COVID-19 pandemic in a public university in southern Brazil. Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 527 students of undergraduate courses in the health field. Descriptive statistical analyses and the chi-square test were performed to assess associations. Results: For 49.5% of participants their academic performance was insufficient; for 24.1%, sufficient; 19.40%, good; 5.90% very good; and 1.10% excellent. It was found that there was an association between the variables, course (p=0.034), form of enrollment into the institution (p=0.016) and work activity (p=0.010) in academic performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: Academic performance during the suspension of face-to-face classes is insufficient for many students, and groups of students from the occupational therapy course, who entered the university through the system of quotas and who work in addition to studying showed an inferior academic performance during the COVID-19 pandemic.
RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar como os estudantes universitários autoavaliam o seu desempenho acadêmico durante a pandemia da COVID-19 em uma universidade pública do sul do Brasil. Método: estudo transversal realizado por meio de um questionário online respondido por 527 estudantes em julho e agosto de 2020.

Resultados: Entre os participantes, 49,5% referiram um desempenho acadêmico insuficiente, 24,1% suficiente, 19,40% bom, 5,90% muito bom e 1,10% excelente. Verificou-se que houve associação entre as variáveis curso (p=0,034), forma de ingresso na instituição (p=0,016) e atividade de trabalho (p=0,010) e o desempenho acadêmico durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Conclusão: O desempenho acadêmico durante a suspensão das aulas presenciais está sendo insuficiente para muitos estudantes. The occupational therapy students who entered in the university through the system of quotas and work in addition to studying had a worse academic performance during the COVID-19 pandemic.
