Sumario:Challenges, overcoming, weaknesses and achievements permeate the academic path of undergraduate students. In 2019, the Agronomy course at the Federal University of Fronteira Sul (UFFS), completed ten years of training, which makes it possible to evaluate this path and consider about its continuity. Therefore, this article aims to analyze the permanence and dropout rates in Agronomy courses at UFFS. The adopted methodology was based on documents’ analysis that guided the offering of the course and on calculation of permanence and dropout rates, according to each campi they are offered. For this calculation, the “flow” or “student follow-up” method was chosen. The observed predictors pointed out requirements to advance on permanence, retention and evasion studies, within the scope of the course, integrating actions and strategies to identify management practices that are effective in mitigating the problem and presenting increasingly satisfactory results.
