Resumo

Admission to Higher Education (ES) presents students with different demands and opportunities, derived from their needs to meet educational goals, to regulate their learning, to manage study and leisure time, to participate on campus and in school. the classrooms and student representation, in a context of greater development and personal, social and emotional autonomy. Among the wide range of psychosocial and contextual variables that may be related to the experiences of this adaptation process, the academic expectations of the students in the first year of ES constitute the center of interest of this symposium. Just over half (57%) of full-time first-year students graduate in 4 years, sometimes being up to 6 years to get it. The percentage of students dropping out of school is mainly during the first year of study in the ES. Students who drop out without completing their studies are spending their time, money and Invested by the public sector in the educational process without, in the end, producing the desired benefits. That is why there is concern in recent years about the rates of academic graduation (Swail, 2004).
