The variation of the ecology footprint per capita (FP) of the students of the professional school of Environmental Engineering of the Universidad Andina del Cusco was determined in two different scenarios: before the pandemic and during the COVID-19 pandemic; For this, a questionnaire used internationally for the determination of the HE of university students was adapted, the quantification was carried out considering four sections: Food, transport, energy and forest resources. The results obtained show a decrease in the HE between the two scenarios of 0.207 hag, the most significant reduction was in the transport section 0.185 hag, followed by the food section 0.022 hag, in the forest section the reduction was minimal 0.002 hag and in the energy section obtained an increase in HE of 0.002 hag. The results of the present study demonstrate in terms of ecological footprint the variation in the consumption habits of university students due to the declaration of a health emergency faced by the country, a variation that translates into a more sustainable lifestyle.
