Introduction: Student academic success is now influenced not only by cognitive intelligence, but also by social support and adaptability, especially in university environments that are culturally, socially, and economically diverse. Methodology: This study used a quantitative approach with a survey of 70 Hasanuddin University students, using the Slovin formula for sample determination and multiple linear regression analysis. Result: The results of the study indicate that social support from family, friends, and institutions has a significant positive effect on students' learning motivation and academic resilience, with a calculated F value of 21.424 > table F value of 3.13 and significance of 0.000 < 0.05; a 1% increase in social support increases motivation and resilience by 1%, with a moderate strength of association (Adjusted R-Square 0.372), where empathy is the primary form of support (53%) and family is the primary source of support (80%). Conclusions : Research findings show that adaptive capacity encourages students to overcome academic stress, innovate, and play an active role as agents of change, thereby emphasizing the importance of inclusive and responsive higher education strategies.
