Preliminary Concept of Courses (CPC), a component of the National Higher Education Evaluation System (Sinaes), is an index that allows general observations at national level, an important point for Brazilian public education policy. This paper is based on CPC statistics data to analyze the evaluations of classroom undergraduate courses and distance learning (DL) in Brazil. This analysis is not intended to compare the two types of education or define what is the ideal or the parameter to be adopted. Brief discussion of the evaluation of policies in Brazilian higher education and the expansion of this level in recent years, with emphasis on distance learning, will be presented and discussed the data obtained in the Portal EMEC. It was observed a very different distribution between the classroom undergraduate courses and distance education courses. Graduations by distance learning, over 65%, are in the concept 3. This concept refers to the minimum in order to have not the risk of external intervention, according to current legislation. In the face mode, this number is around 50%. It can be deduced from data that distance courses seem to perform the minimum to not go through on-site evaluation, and these numbers may be a result of the resistance of the excellence of institutions offering distance learning courses
