Abstract	This study aims to identify the national identity for Taif University's students, and that identity's role in facing the Coronavirus pandemic. A survey consisting of two measures was used. The first scale was the students' possession of national identity, and the second measure was the students' role in facing the Coronavirus. The results indicated that the Taif University students' national identity and their role in facing the Coronavirus was high. The results also showed that there were no significant differences due to the effect of gender for both scales. There were significant differences due academic level favored students (from the fifth-eighth level). Among the study's most important recommendations were the necessity of the students' awareness about the importance of attending educational sessions, national events, and volunteer participation as well as clarifying the implications of that participation for individuals and society so that students could see how valuable the activities were.
