Paper Abstract:	This study assessed undergraduate students' attitudes towards online learning during the Covid-19 Pandemic, specifically three months after the initiation of theMarch 14, 2020 lockdown in Jordan. Six hundred and twelve (N=612) undergraduate students from the University of Petra and University of Jordan across majors and academic years were surveyed using a user-designed online survey. The surveyed students exhibited negative attitudes towards online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. More specifically results showed that the majority of the students responded that communicating with teachers and students through online learning was annoying. Also, over half of the students indicated that online learning did not increase their motivation to learning and 60% of them expressed that online learning was uncomfortable, indicating that they did not enjoy the online learning experience and would not take online courses if were used again. Overall, students displayed a wide range of responses showing mostly negative attitudes towards online learning. This suggests that students still prefer learning in the classroom to online learning. Finally, the paper highlighted various recommendations and implications for better online learning.
