Procrastination often occurs among students in higher education. Facts in higher education in 2018 from 27 students were found, and 22.22% of students had not attended a proposal seminar and had not completed a final assignment or thesis, 40.74% of students had attended a proposal seminar but had not completed a final assignment or thesis, and 37, 03% of students have attended proposal seminars and have completed their final assignments or theses. This is an urgent matter to research because there is a gap between theory, expectations, and reality in the field. The research aims to find out what factors cause procrastination, which causes students to be late in completing their thesis in higher education. The research method is descriptive qualitative. The subject and object are higher education, totaling 34 students. Data collection techniques using questionnaires, interviews, and direct observation of students. Analysis techniques by collecting data, reducing and drawing conclusions. Data is depicted in diagrams, and the results of interviews and observations are interpreted. As a result, it was found that students working on their thesis encountered many obstacles due to internal factors, namely self-control, selfefficacy, and motivation. In the process of completing the final assignment or thesis, students must learn to motivate themselves, control themselves, and develop high self-efficacy so that students can focus more on completing their thesis.
