This article presents a bibliographic study, carried out in 2017, with the main objective of analyzing the relationship between student assistance at the Federal University of Pará, Campus de Altamira and the permanence and academic success of the students benefiting from the aid made available to the student. The analysis of the data was carried out in light of the theoretical and methodological assumptions of Content Analysis. The student assistance was marked by sparse and punctual actions, assuming a welfare character. Specifically in the Campus of Altamira students face difficulties in receiving the aid due to lack of understanding of the calls for applications, insufficient vacancies to meet the demands and bureaucracies that involve the enrollment process. These combined or isolated factors cause a low number of students attending the Campus of Altamira and contribute to increase the retention and dropout rates in this Campus.
