As for the psychometric characteristics of the scale an exploratory factor analysis was carried out with the items, results indicated that the scale has a high degree of factorial validity. Reliability of the scale was calculated by alpha Cronbach and, test –retest. The scale indicates high internal consistency .Results confirms that academic flexibility scale for university students is valid for use in the Egyptian and Arabian environment.
