Abstract
Background: The stress among college students has become a severe issue impacting their health and lives. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of stress and its related factors among the female students, and its effect on their Grade Point Average (GPA) in Al-Maarefa Colleges during the period 2017-2018.
Methodology: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was performed on 152 students of all majors studying at Almareefa University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The data were collected by distributing a self-administered questionnaire randomly. The data were coded, entered and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences program.
Results: The results indicated that 78% of the students were moderately stressed, of which 37% were pharm. D students and 29.4% were medical students. The top stressor for the students was academic issues, which included getting a lower grade than anticipated. On the other hand, the factors that significantly relieved stress for students were getting an adequate amount of sleep, followed by exercise. Remarkably, there was no significant association between the level of stress among the students and their GPA.
Conclusion: Stress was found to be common among female students of Al-Maarefa Colleges, which was of moderate level. There was no statistically significant relationship between academic grades (GPA) and the level of stress in the studied population.

Key words: Level of stress, students, GPA (Grade Point Average)
