Due to the development of technology and the outbreak of COVID-19, many higher education institutions have employed online learning as a measure to the urgent situation. However, the sudden shift to complete online learning has a considerable impact on students. Therefore, maintaining student satisfaction with their learning experience is a significant issue for the stakeholders. From scientific perspectives, many researchers propose the importance of identifying factors influencing student satisfaction. Although many studies are dealing with this issue, few have succeeded in identifying determinants in student satisfaction with online learning in which online learning is a part of the school ecosystem. This research aimed at tackling this problem in the context of private universities in Ho Chi Minh city. Notably, 317 students from two private universities were involved in this survey study. The data were collected via online questionnaires and analyzed by using the PLS-SEM approach to examine which factors found in the literature were more dominant. The research findings indicated three determinants, including course effectiveness, providing knowledge and skills, and the sense of belonging. This result suggested that in order to increase student satisfaction with online learning in the current situation, these three determinants should be paid more attention by the stakeholders.
