description	Emerging technologies offer alternative ways to conceptualize and deliver education in pursuit of promoting learning. Numerous studies have compared students’ performance in online classes and traditional classes, but with mixed results. A survey was conducted among Bachelor of Business Administration (Finance) students at UiTM Shah Alam to investigate the effect of students’ performance on the relationship between traditional and online course delivery. To guide this study, three questions were asked and three hypotheses were formulated and tested 0.05 level of significance. The design is correlation and simple random sampling was used to select sample size of 304 respondents. The results suggest that both courses need attention because those factors have contributed equal significance to students’ performance
