In view of the complexity of the phenomena that lead to dropout, this paper systematized a method that simplifies the elaboration of a diagnosis, allowing to structure and group the most reported difficulties, making it possible to relate the most appropriate strategies to contribute to the permanence and completion of undergraduate degrees by students. The research is characterized as exploratory and descriptive, using documentary analysis to support the development of structured and objective questionnaires. For application, a non-probabilistic method was used, in which 5,041 respondents were obtained from all undergraduate courses at UFMT (33% disenrolled, 37% enrolled and 29% alumni), totaling about 10% of the population between 2013 and 2019. The weighting and aggregation of difficulties made it possible to capture different perspectives of the students. Difficulties related to learning, course structure and teaching staff were often mentioned, allowing the prioritization of strategies for managers of the courses and the institution.
