This research aimed to determine the relationship between academic procrastination and dependence on mobile devices in university students of the Tourism major at the Higher Polytechnic School of Chimborazo (ESPOCH), Ecuador, during the academic period April-September 2022. This study had quantitative scope, non-experimental-cross-sectional design, and correlational scope. The data were obtained from 167 psychoeducational records of the population members who had completed the instruments: Academic Procrastination Scale and Mobile Device Dependence Test. The majority of participants were female (66.5%). The high category stood out in terms of postponing activities (31.1% in women and 15% in men), while the moderate level (59.3%) did in terms of dependence on the mobile device (37.1% in women and 20.4% in men). There was a direct correlation with a moderate to strong intensity between the postponement of activities and dependence on the mobile device (.<0.05; r=0.485). The low level predominated academic self-regulation in the genres studied; the high one stood out concerning the postponement of activities, and the moderate one in dependence on the mobile device. The Spearman coefficient values allowed us to establish the presence of a statistically significant correlation.
