RESUMO:

University dropout is a complex phenomenon that is influenced by numerous factors. In the last few years, this subject has aroused the interest of many researchers from various different fields, e.g. education and public administration. Since the implementation of the Unified Selection System (SISU), created by the Ministry of Education in 2012, the discussion around the possible causes and types of dropouts has been gradually increasing in the academic environment. It is assumed that this new model of higher education selection allows the mobility between undergraduate courses, which is a peculiarity to be understood and investigated in the contemporary dropout phenomenon, which, in this study, will be understood as the change of undergraduate course without completing it. The aim of this study is to identify the factors presented by the students from the Centre of Applied Social Sciences of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) regarding their intention to change to another undergraduate course. This research is a useful tool to understand this phenomenon, its real impact and its influence on the process of selecting a career path, as well as how the Unified Selection System relates to the students’ choice of changing their undergraduate majors. This research has a qualitative and exploratory approach. The students of the Centre for Applied Social Sciences who presented the intentionality to change their  undergraduate majors where identified by the means of an online questionnaire. After that, those who agreed to participate where interviewed and their information was analysed based on content analysis technique. The results showed that the marks obtained from the High School National Exam (ENEM) are decisive to their undergraduate course choice via SISU. Social integration was deemed to be negative and, therefore, a driving force behind the dropout phenomeno, together with the unsatisfactory teaching methodology adopted by the lecturers.
