The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the lives of students around the world, forcing them to transition to remote learning. This shift has created new challenges for students, including social isolation, increased stress, and decreased academic performance. As a result, there is a growing concern about the mental health of students during remote learning. This study aimed to explore the association between tertiary students' QCL and their state of mental health during remote learning. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 180 BS Human Ecology college students enrolled at the University of the Philippines Los Baños during the academic year 2021-2022. The participants completed a self-administered questionnaire that assessed their demographic characteristics, QCL, and state of mental health. The results showed that BSHE students were neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with their QCL during remote learning. Furthermore, the mean score on the K10 Scale was 35, indicating that these students were likely to have suffered from major mental health disorders during the duration and implementation of remote learning. There was no significant relationship between overall QCL and student mental health. The findings of this study suggest that the transition to remote learning has had a negative impact on the QCL and mental health of BSHE students. Further research is needed to better understand the factors that contribute to the mental health of students during remote learning and to develop interventions to support their well-being.
