The data collected were analyzed using a set of standard statistics as follows: mean (M), standard deviation (S.D.), and Multiple Regression Analysis. The results of the research were that (1) the students' self-regulation was mainly on decision-making (M = 3.89; S.D. = 0.62), (2) the students' online learning behavior was mainly on the learner's aspect (M = 3.88; S.D. = 0.77), and (3) the factors that support students' online learning behavior consisted three factors which are self-observation, decision-making, and self-regulation. The Multiple Regression Analysis indicated that self-reaction, selfobservation, and decision-making affected the factors supporting online learning behavior of the general education course of the University, which increased by 0.683 units. This indicated that the self-reaction factor was the most important factor that supports the online learning behavior of the students, followed by the self-observation and the decision-making, respectively.
