As college students are in a period of transitioning from teenage years to adulthood, they typically will experience multiple levels of psychological distress, and these stressors influence their studies. This research presents to investigate the relationship between psychological distress and academic adjustment in technical college students in Kuching, Sarawak. This research used a quantitative approach with a crosssectional survey. The instruments in this study applied the Counseling Center Assessment of Psychological Symptoms-34 (CCAPS-34) for psychological distress domains and the Academic Adjustment Scale (AAS) for academic adjustment domains. The students were given a web link to the survey questionnaire. The respondents in this research are 303 students in semester three: consisting of 146 male students and 157 female students. Overall, there is a significant correlation between psychological distress and academic adjustment. With this, psychological distress is unexceptional towards tertiary education learners and hurts an individual and their educational setting. To improve learners’ academic performance, it is crucial to have more focus on the psychological well-being of college students.
