This study analyzes student engagement in higher education and its relationship with self-assessed academic performance, participation in extracurricular activities, and intention to complete the course. The sample consisted of 503 students from different campuses and undergraduate programs at a Federal Institute located in the Southeast region of Brazil. The results indicated that learning strategies, relationships with peers and professors, institutional resources, the number of extracurricular activities, and the intention to complete the course were significantly associated with perceived academic performance. The intention to complete the course was also related to academic motivation and the perception of institutional resources. The findings reinforce that strengthening student engagement requires coordinated actions that integrate pedagogical practices that promote academic and social interactions, as well as expand extracurricular opportunities and support interventions. It is believed that this study contributes to the improvement of institutional policies and pedagogical practices in higher education.
