The main objective of this study is to determine the impact of the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) on university academic performance, measured as the weighted average as a categorical variable. For this study, two evaluation periods have been included. The first is a completely face-to-face academic cycle; while the second is completely virtual. This, due to the juncture of the time of evaluation of the research. Specifically, due to the measures of social isolation for the non-propagation of the COVID - 19. Likewise, taking into account the review of the empirical literature, this research also aims to assess possible gender differences in the impact of the use of ICTs on university academic performance. With respect to the data used, a pilot survey was developed and provided to the Faculty of Economics of a Peruvian university, along with an informed consent of the study. As for the methodological alternative, an Ordered Multinomial Logit model was chosen, due to the characteristic of the dependent variable of interest. That is, if the dependent variable adopts a higher category, higher weighted average, academic performance is also higher. As for the explanatory variables of the study, gender, student characteristics, social and family factors, variables associated with the use of ICTs and the motivation associated with the use of ICTs have been considered. Finally, the results reflect that there is a positive impact on university academic performance, during the transition from a completely presential cycle to a virtualized one. This is due to the fact that the variables associated with ICTs are the ones that best explain the improvement in academic output. However, the results also reflect that there are no gender differences in the impact of the use of ICTs on university academic performance.
