Abstract

This research, inserted in public educational policies, has as its theme the process of admission in Higher Education at Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro (UFTM). Considering the Brazilian historical context of Higher Education in view of NÓVOA (1999); ZAGO (2006); SAVIANI (2010); SILVA, VELOSO (2012) e CARVALHO (2014), it was sought to understand how the academic community of the UFTM recognizes the Sistema de Seleção Unificada (Sisu) as the current mechanism of admission of undergraduate courses in UFTM. The general objective of this research was to implement at UFTM a guideline regarding the admission process on its undergraduate courses. A study about the exam of admission in Brazilian Higher Education since the period of the First Republic was undertaken, using documental and bibliographic research mainly based on MOROSINI (2009); CUNHA (2010); RAMOS (2011) e SANTOS (2011). The admission programs in some of the main institutions of American and English Higher Education were also compared to Brazilian ones. The research to elaborate the guidelines was based on unstructured interview in the Students Admission Division of UFTM to raise the main issues presented by the academic community about admission process into UFTM which were categorized through content analysis to systematize the guidelines. The guidelines was available on-line, at the University’s website in order to help the academic community and optimize the work of UFTM’s servers, since it is an important tool to attend a demand found by the community in general: the difficulty of access to systematized information for this purpose.
