Abstract: Online student engagement plays a very essential role in the improvement of academic achievements. However, the role of school support in the relationship between online student engagement and academic achievements remain uncertain; whether its impact was different during and after the COVID-19 pandemic is also still being determined. Therefore, the present study conducted a questionnaire survey among 825 Chinese college students during the COVID-19 pandemic and 751 after the COVID-19 pandemic, aiming to examine the correlation between online student engagement and academic achievements, as well as the moderating influence of school support. The results showed that online student engagement had a significant predictive effect on college students' academic achievements during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, school support was found to moderate the relationship between online student engagement and college students' academic achievements only during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results indicated that the more school support the college students received, the stronger the effect of online student engagement on academic achievements during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research results provide empirical evidence for the moderation of school support in the relationship between online student engagement and college students' academic achievements.
