University of Ibadan, Nigeria’s premier university commenced emergency remote teaching (ERT) in February 2021 in other to control the spread of Covid-19. After a full session of learning through this mode, this paper investigated determinants of undergraduate students’ satisfaction with the institution’s ERT. Proportional-to-size sampling was used in obtaining the sample size of 366, while respondents were selected using convenience sampling. Data collection was through a structured questionnaire and data were collected on the factors—attitude, affect, motivation; perceived behavioural control (accessibility, self-efficacy, ease of use); and cognitive engagement. Findings showed that all the variables except accessibility had significant relationships with students’ satisfaction. However, only motivation to learn ( β = 0.140, p = 0.019) and cognitive engagement ( β = 0.154, p = 0.005) were significant predictors of students’ satisfaction with the ERT. The study emphasized the need for the institution to take steps towards ensuring that online learning is interesting and motivating for students, such that when faced with such abrupt change in learning mode in the future, students are motivated to learn and are willing to invest their mental effort into understanding their academic work, which may ultimately improve their satisfaction with the learning process.
