Higher education is crucial as it introduces students to various fields and then guides them to the next steps. Student's academic performance is critical and could lead to failure if it is not monitored to find the strengths and weaknesses of students and the factors that affect them. That is why the student academic prediction method should be improved so teachers can predict their students' performance. A lot of research tried to improve the prediction accuracy but had problems with imbalanced data and how to tune the algorithm. For this case, we proposed two different machine learning algorithms that handle imbalanced data by applying the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique and employing a hyperparameter tuning algorithm to increase the prediction during the training process in the machine learning models. The machine learning models we used are Random Forest and Decision Tree. Models were further tuned using Grid Search, Random Search and Bayesian Optimization Hyperparameter Tuning. After we compared them, the results showed that Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique and Bayesian Optimization combined with the Decision Tree algorithm outperformed models for student academic prediction.
