One of the factors suspected of influencing student academic burnout is peer social support. This study aims to: (1) describe peer social support, (2) describe student academic burnout, (3) test the relationship between peer social support and student academic burnout. This study uses a quantitative method with a descriptive correlational research type.

Sampling used the proportional random sampling technique. Data collection used peer social support instruments and academic burnout instruments using the Likert model scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques and product moment correlation techniques. The results of this study indicate that (1) peer social support is in the moderate category with an average percentage of 66% (2) student academic burnout is in the low category with an average percentage of 49% (3) there is a significant relationship between peer social support and student academic burnout with a calculated r correlation value of -0.303 with a significance level of 0.000 at a weak relationship level. This means that if students have high peer social support, the lower the student's academic burnout. Conversely, the lower the peer social support, the higher the student's academic burnout.
