    The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between the dimensions of academic procrastination and suicidal risk in university students; the study was a non-experimental, quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptivecorrelational, quantitative approach. The sample included 498 students from an Ecuadorian university, selected by non-probabilistic convenience sampling. The Academic Procrastination Scale (EPA) and Plutchik's Suicide Risk Scale were used. A low negative correlation was found between self-regulation and suicidal risk (Rho = -0.201, p < .001), and a very low positive correlation between procrastination and suicidal risk (Rho = 0.198, p < .001). In the academic selfregulation dimension, the medium level (43.8%) and the high level in procrastination (50.6%) predominated; the absence of suicidal risk prevailed (60.4%). There were significant differences according to sex (p= 0.010), women had a higher mean score (5.09) of suicidal risk than men (4.33). It is concluded that there are significant relationships between the dimensions of academic procrastination and suicidal risk. Specifically, the greater the academic selfregulation, the lower the suicidal risk, while the greater the procrastination, the higher the suicidal risk.
