With the development of technology, education systems evolved many times. Online education is among the fields which also become popular with the advance of technology. However, in some cases maintaining learning in online education cannot be the same just as in face-to-face education. Students should be autonomous and self-aware in learning and developing their skills, especially in online education. Therefore, students are expected to improve their self-regulating skills and monitor their learning process on their own. With this respect, the current study aimed to investigate tertiary-level EFL students’ self-regulated learning level in online education. The total number of participants was 33 EFL students who study in the Department of English Language and Literature at Karadeniz Technical University. For data collection, The Self-Regulated Online Learning Questionnaire (SOL-Q) was used. This questionnaire measures five main subskills which are metacognitive skills, time management, environmental structuring, persistence, and help-seeking. In data analysis, descriptive statistics were used through SPSS 26.0. The results revealed that while students’ environmental structuring skills were found high, their time management skills were relatively low. Furthermore, there were no significant differences between females and males in metacognitive skills, time management, environmental structuring, and helpseeking while there was a significant difference in persistence.
