Data used were GPA of first semester (before covid-19 quarantine) and second semester (after covid-19 quarantine). GPA of bachelor nursing student were taken from student who in the first year (n=138), second year (n=119) and third year (n=91) respectively. Using paired t-test analysis, this study showed that there were found significant differences of GPA between first semester and second semester. Student who in the first year (mean = -.33, SD = .30, p = .000), second year (mean = -.04, SD = .22, p = .026) and third year (mean = -.36, SD = .16, p = .000) showed escalation of GPA, while student who in the fourth year (mean = .79, SD = .09, p = .000) showed degradation of GPA.
