Worried about the law enforcement, the Rio Grande do Norte Federal University - UFRN, has promoted a software development - hosted in the SIGAA system - that composes a specific module to manage the curricular internship activities, allowing the procedure and documents unification for all its 116 undergraduate programs, at the same time it gives out real time data reports. Two years after the management module release, it comes up the challenge to study its usage, trying to discover possibilities of difficulties or facilities, and also the improvements necessity. To accomplish this goal, data reports about UFRN Undergraduate Programs Coordination visits that were made by the Internships Coordinating were consulted, urging to understand how the systems users are adapting to their new work reality. In those visits were used forms to get information and feelings, but without using direct interviews. The results found by the study indicated that the Humanistic and Biomedical areas programs were those ones that had more doubts related to the law and the system usage, the Biomedical area programs were those that most complained and those that most suggested modifications for the module improvement, the Humanistic area programs were those that most presented resistance to the module usage and the regulation, at the same time that there were detected more communication problems, law understanding and proceedings.
