This study aims to develop a scale of academic coping strategies based on three aspects according to Sullivan (2010), namely Approach, Avoidance, and Social Support, as well as presenting existing psychometric property information. Psychometric property analysis in this study includes reliability using Alfa Cronbach internal consistency, construct validity with confirmatory factor analysis, and validity criteria. The result, the scale of academic coping strategy has Alpha reliability coefficient of 0,808 for Approach dimension; 0,818 for dimension of Avoidance and 0,868 for Social Support dimension. From the result of confirmatory factor analysis with SEM, the proposed model consisting of three factors and the proposed model meets the fit criteria (GFI = 0,920, CFI = 0,923, RMSEA = 0,076). Criterion validity is also done, the results is coping strategies Approach and Avoidance correlated significantly with variable depression, anxiety, and stress. Generaly, this scale has a satisfactory psychometric property, the development of this scale in the future regarding the methodological issues discussed in this paper.
