The breakout of the coronavirus disease has brought about a seismic shift in the daily lives of people worldwide. Educational institutions have been temporarily closed, and different types of lockdowns and social distancing approaches have been applied in countries around the world to delay the spread of the disease. This study investigates the determinants influencing university student intentions and use of electronic learning during the pandemic. Data were collected online from 229 respondents in different academic disciplines at various Saudi Arabian universities. The findings revealed that two factors positively affected students' behavioral intention to utilize electronic learning: trust and performance expectancy. Moreover, the findings showed the significance of facilitating conditions and behavioral intention on students' use of electronic learning during the lockdown. The study findings provide some important practical insights on how curriculum and pedagogy should be modified by adjusting learning standards and assessment tools. (As Provided)
