Sumario: To establish the characteristics of the phenomenon of procrastination at the UDELAS Headquarters. A cross-sectional study was made of a sample per opportunity in the researcher's classrooms. The sample was 172 students. The level of postponement was measured in the jobs in general, which were relatively low, but significant. Time management, the opportunity to find a quiet place to study, the stress when presenting a work in class, and when working in a group, the stress of maintaining or obtaining a scholarship, was also observed, but the high degree of stress was important before the exams in a majority (47.1%) of students which allows taking measures by the teachers. Another finding was that a majority (47.1%) do not have the feeling of controlling time, which affects their schedules. In 90%, relatively low values are found, but they are so significant as to be considered in academic decisions. One of the most important limitations of the work was that the classrooms chosen by opportunity for the survey had an extremely high percentage of the female gender (93.6%), therefore it was not possible to make gender comparisons of procrastination. Another limitation of the work has been the problems of the COVID-19 pandemic that did not allow the necessary mobility to complete the phases of the investigation in the scheduled times. The practical application will be the development of an orientation plan for the equalization of students.
