Resumo:This research aimed to verify possible determinants of retention in Brazilian federal institutions, analyzing by areas of knowledge of the presential courses. For this, students were identified in the retention situation, among the conclusive ones, considering the database obtained from the Census of Higher Education for the year 2016. Through three levels ordered of the retention period, the application of an ordered multinomial choice model allowed to obtain the following conclusions: in all the areas of knowledge, increasing age is a determinant that rises the probability of retention of students, whereas if the student is male, white race, participant of affirmative policies and incoming by Enem is less likely to be withheld. In addition, it should be pointed out that the expansion of scholarships and assistance from institutions has proved to be relevant to contain retention in all areas of knowledge.
