This study was carried out to predict academic burnout based on quality of college life and hope for employment among university students. The research method of study was correlational descriptive. The statistical community included all undergraduate university students living in Mohaghegh Ardibili University dormitories in academic year 2015-16, among whom there were selected 210 sample individuals using available sampling method. For data collection, there were employed Sirgy et al's questionnaire on quality of college life, Ghoreishirad's questionnaire on hope for employment and Bersos et al's questionnaire on academic burnout. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis. The findings indicated that there exists a significant negative relationship between the quality of college life and hope for employment in one hand and academic burnout on the other hand. Also regression analysis revealed that academic burnout can be predicted negatively with determination coefficient of %19 by quality of college life and hope for employment. Therefore, it can be concluded that the quality of college life and hope for employment may be taken into account as the important variables in relevance to the academic burnout of the university students
