Abstract

This study aims at the effectiveness of actions aimed at reducing dropout in undergraduate courses offered at Campus Medianeira of UTFPR, during and after the implementation of Reuni, in order to achieve the agreed results. This is a study developed with field research, of a basic nature and a qualitative approach to the problem. The technical procedure adopted was the synthetic research of a single case with a level of analysis (holistic). The research corpus consisted of documents from Reuni and UTFPR, a questionnaire and interviews. For the analysis of the interviews, the technique of speech analysis was used and for the questionnaire, the descriptive statistics. It was found that actions to reduce dropout, even below the agreed upon adhesion to Reuni, were and continue to be adopted to reduce dropout, but the dropout rates of UTFPR and Campus Medianeira remained very far from the agreed. It is concluded that only with effective conditions for the permanence of students will there be a reasonable decrease in dropout rates.
