In light of the increased concerns regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on higher education and the United Nations' acknowledgment of the threat of future pandemics, this retrospective study explores undergraduate students' perceptions and challenges during emergency remote learning (ERL) imposed by the pandemic. The study sample comprised 262 second-year university students who participated in ERL. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics (Mean and Standard Deviations), t-tests, and One-Way ANOVA. Results indicate that although students generally held a positive perception of ERL (Mean = 2.51), they also encountered notable challenges (Mean = 3.91) during the COVID-19 lockdown. Additionally, a significant difference in perceptions of ERL was found based on gender (t-cal = 2.641, p = .009 < 0.05), while no significant difference was observed based on the course of study (F261 = .122, p = .885 > 0.05). These findings underscore the necessity of improving online instructi.....
