Abstract	This paper intended to analyze the practices of digital citizenship among university student in Pakistan. The quantitative descriptive survey research design was adopted for this study. The population of the study was 800 students of BS (Education) program in ten public sector universities in Punjab, Pakistan. Simple random sampling technique was used for the selection of sample. The sample of the study was 280 students (120 males and 160 females). The research instrument used for the data collection was a five-point Likert scale having nine aspects of digital citizenship identified by Ribble and Baily (2007). The validity of the research instrument was ensured through experts' opinion. Cronbach's Alpha value was used for the reliability of this instrument and its value was .89. The data were analyzed by applying both descriptive and inferential statistics. The research concluded that the majority of the students were involved in the digital citizenship practices in all the ten public sector universities. It was suggested that universities may manage digital citizenship education, formulate the laws for using digital citizenship for positive and healthy activities, conduct co-curricular activities to promote the knowledge of students and integrate digital citizenship education into the curriculum at all stages of education.
