Abstract: The final project is one of the strategies to train students' abilities. Still, it often causes problems in the form of delays in thesis completion which are influenced by Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) and the role of Adversity Quotient (AQ) as a mediator. This study aims to analyze the effect of SRL on Academic Procrastination in Thesis Completion (APCT) mediated by AQ, with Gender (G) as a moderating variable. The research subjects were Economics Education students of Sebelas Maret University (UNS) and Semarang State University (UNNES) class of 2018-2019 who had not completed their thesis (N=110), selected through proportional random sampling method from a population of 150 people. Data collection was conducted through a survey with a measured scale for each variable and analyzed using Moderated Path Analysis with the help of SmartPLS 4 and the PLS-SEM model. The results showed that SRL had a significant negative effect on APCT, AQ mediated the relationship between SRL and APCT, but G did not moderate the relationship. The implications of this study indicate that procrastination in final-year students can be minimized by strengthening the role of SRL and AQ. Research limitations and recommendations are also presented for further research.
