        The aim of this study was to determine the psychometric indicators of the university academic resilience questionnaire in a sample of Iranian students. In this study, 283 undergraduate students were selected by cluster random sampling and completed the academic resilience and academic self-efficacy questionnaires. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to determine the structure of the questionnaire. The results of confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the modified model has a favorable fit compared to the original model. In such a way that the fit indices are in the appropriate range. In addition, Cronbach's alpha were used to evaluate the reliability of the instrument using the internal consistency method. Accordingly, internal consistency in the whole sample for each of subscales indicates the optimal reliability of the tool. In addition, the convergence validity was confirmed by the academic self-efficacy questionnaire. Finally, the research findings revealed that the factor structure of the university academic resilience questionnaire has a good fit and can be used as a valid tool in measuring the dimensions of students' academic resilience. Keywords: Academic Resilience Questionnaire, Psychometric, Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Manuscript profile
