The purpose of this article is to analyze the perception that university students have about the use of digital information and communication technology (TDIC) resources for their learning. A total of 308 students attending a face-to-face course at a Brazilian public university participated in the study. An online questionnaire was used as a collection tool, in which the data were analyzed with a quantitative approach. It was identified that digital information and communication technology was perceived as a great support in the studies, but there was a high heterogeneity of their appropriation in the studies by freshmen or veterans, and more than half indicated that they rarely or never received an incentive from the teachers to use it. The appropriation of this resource can increase academic performance and reduce school dropout.
