In reviewing several journals regarding student academic stress, it was found that the pandemic and changes that occurred in the learning process had increased student academic stress. Many problems arise as a result of increased academic stress. To overcome this, students need to do stress coping strategies to reduce feelings of stress that occur. Coping is interpreted as an individual's effort to be able to overcome the stress that comes to him through cognitive or behavioral changes in order to gain a feeling of security in himself. Coping stress can be done in two ways, namely: 1) Problem focused coping that changes or eliminates stressors and reduces the impact of stress through the individual's own actions, and 2) Emotional focused coping, namely by changing the way individuals emotionally react to stressors. With information on managing academic stress through coping with stress, students are expected to be more concerned and aware so that they can reduce psychological pressure in dealing with online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
