The extent to which students adopt technology in their learning process has long been the focus of research. This study aimed to determine the level of technology acceptance and the differences in the level of learning style analyzed by sex, age, marital status, and year level. The participants of this study are 205 college students officially enrolled in the School Year 2021- 2022. This study used the adopted survey questions by Davis (1989). Frequency, mean, and Pearson-r were used as statistical treatment of data. Results showed that the overall level of technology acceptance of the respondents was high that the level of technology acceptance among college students, as grouped by sex and across ages, shows no significant difference. However, in terms of year level and program, third-year college students got the highest level of technological acceptance. Among all the indicators, Perceived ease-of-use (PEU) obtained the lowest mean score. With this, the researchers recommend conducting a seminar entitled “Blended Learning: The Emerging Technologies” for students to be able to know the significance of technology and to continue embracing technological advancement, especially during this time of the pandemic.
