Objective: Identify if the intelligences, emotions and chronotype explain the Academic Performance in university students. Method: Quantitative, exploratory study, with a sample of 493 university subjects (age M = 22.06 ± 4.59) 32% men and 68% women. Results: Associations were found between Academic Performance and Age [X2=7.386 (2), p= .02]; Academic Performance and Positive Affection [X2=6.623 (2), p= .03]; Sleep quality and depressive symptoms (R2= .211), depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation (R2 = .408); Chronotype and depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation (R2= .113; R2= .106 respectively). Through a multivariate regression, it was identified that only 1.1% of the Academic Performance variance is explained by Age [F= 6.512(1), p= .01]. Discussion y Conclusion: It is concluded that emotional variables, multiple intelligences, suicidal ideation and chronotype do not explain Academic Performance in university students. It is argued that Academic Performance as dependent on factors such as intelligences, emotion and chronotype cannot be explained properly
