The high internet use among students and the unique dynamics of living away from parents influence academic discipline, especially procrastination. This study examines the relationship between internet addiction, parenting styles and academic procrastination among migrant students as a vulnerable group. A correlational quantitative design involved 149 migrant students aged 18-25 years selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected online using the Academic Procrastination Scale (APS), Internet Addiction Test (IAT), and Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ), then analysed using multiple correlation and regression in JASP. Internet addiction was strongly positively correlated with academic procrastination (r = 0.658, p < 0.001). Among parenting styles dimensions, authoritarian was positively correlated (r = 0.237, p = 0.004), authoritative was negatively correlated (r = -0.178, p = 0.029), whereas permissive was not significant (r = 0.138, p = 0.094). The regression model combining all predictors explained 47.6% of the procrastination variance (R² = 0.476, F = 32.69, p < 0.001), with internet addiction as the strongest predictor. This study concludes that academic procrastination in migrant student is significantly influenced by the interaction between contemporary technology factors and past parenting patterns, emphasizing the need for a holistic and contextual approach to intervention.
