RESUMO:

The expansion of higher education in Brazil, previously restricted to a privileged group of
students with entrance at the appropriate age, financed by family members, with the availability
of time to dedicate themselves to studies and with good intellectual and school education, enabled
the access of more heterogeneous groups, composed of adults, workers, members of low-income
families, etc. In the Federal Institutions of Higher Education (IFES), historically more elitized,
the nontraditional student (ENT), despite the various limitations, is no longer minority, but many
are unable to remain until the conclusion of the course. In this sense, it is important to identify the
profile of the nontraditional student at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA) and the factors
that influence their permanence, aiming to bring the discussion to university management in
order to qualify the service of these students, especially when the scarcity of resources is
increasing. As a methodological procedure, exploratory research with a sample survey carried out
in two stages with 76 undergraduate students at UFBA was used. Two questionnaires were used,
the first to identify the nontraditional student and his main characteristics, and the second, to
assess permanence. The answers obtained were subjected to statistical analysis and the data
reveal that nontraditional students at UFBA are mainly women, browns and blacks, workers,
financially independent, coming from a public school, studying during the day, they are over 25
years old, per capita family income of up to 1.5 minimum wages, their parents did not participate
in higher education, they are probably the first of their families at university, and their greatest
difficulty in entering higher education was to reconcile work with studies. The cluster analysis
made it possible to identify that the student's permanence in the institution is a function mainly of
convictions prior to entering the course, and of the current motivations, the degree of satisfaction
with the chosen course demonstrates the student's desire to continue enrolled in the course.
Participation in academic and student assistance programs was less important for the
nontraditional student, even considering the various factors of a personal, socio-cultural and
economic nature that hinder their permanence. Thus, it is possible to perceive that the
permanence of the nontraditional student at UFBA is related to their economic and social origin,
but it may have a lesser weight if the reception at the university is greater. Considering the
importance for IFES to seek means for the permanence of their students, both Questionnaire 1
designed to survey the characteristics of the nontraditional student at UFBA, as well as the
typology of nontraditional student and the factors that influence their permanence, can assist in
the choices of the policies and programs adopted to make this student stay and complete the
course. Thus, through the proposed taxonomy, some policies and actions adopted at UFBA can be
focused on the nontraditional student, in order to allow a higher qualification in attending this
type of student, seeking to overcome obstacles that the scarcity of resources imposes, including
encouraging the support of this nontraditional students by members of the academic community
through voluntary work. It is necessary to discuss solutions with the same care as those who do
volunteer work, after all the university are us.
