Abstract

The Selection System Unified - SISU is the result of expansion of the Brazilian public higher education, emerged as a national selection tool available to Higher Education Institutions, public and free, to expand access opportunities. The objective of this study is to analyze the filling of vacancies and the Vestibular by SISU, in the period 2012-2015, at the Federal University of Grande Dourados (UFGD). It is a descriptive and used the bibliographical and documentary research, moreover, adopted quantitative and qualitative approaches to data collection and analysis. It was conducted survey of the number of jobs occupied in the selection processes of UFGD and conducted semi-structured interviews with two managers and an administrative technician who accompanied the moment of deployment and implementation of SISU in UFGD. The University adopted the SISU 50% of its seats in 2014. The staffing data for the years 2012 and 2013, when the UFGD used for selecting only the very entrance exam, were higher compared to the years 2014 and 2015 after adherence to SISU. Through the interviews it became clear that the UFGD struggling to fill the vacancies SISU despite adherence to be recent. Problems with the occupation of the vacancies are real and the University tried through some procedures to improve fill rates, such as the cancellation of registration of students who left the course in the early days and the use of public call. These procedures contributed positively, but were not able to raise the occupancy levels compared to previously achieved. A new procedure experienced in the course of medicine proved to be very efficient to filter and qualified candidates interested in joining UFGD, after some fruitless calls, the so-called expressions of interest online. Thus, in this work are made proposals for improving the online interest demonstration procedure and the suggestion to set up a monitoring committee for the consolidation of SISU in UFGD. As the intention of the Ministry of Education is to expand the SISU and consolidate it regionally and nationally, there is a need to monitor the development of this public policy seeking ways that promote effective occupation offered vacancies, avoiding public resources waste with low fill vacancies or the increase in unfilled vacancies in public institutions.
