The purpose of the study was to determine the manifestation of wellbeing, the attitude toward online course delivery, and the learning loss among college students at a local university in Laguna and the relationship between these variables, which are crucial during the pandemic delivery of academic instruction. In this study, the descriptive correlational methodology was employed. The study found that college students had a moderate level of manifestation of the domains of wellbeing, a positive attitude toward online course delivery, and a high level of learning loss. Correlations suggested that the more domains of wellbeing a student manifests, the more favorable their attitude toward online course delivery and the less learning loss will be encountered. The results have considerable consequences for the new form of academic delivery at the local institution. Similarly, understanding the relationship between the students' wellbeing, the university's online course delivery, and the resulting learning loss aids the academic institution in implementing the new form of online learning without jeopardizing the students' wellbeing and minimizing learning loss.
