Mathematics students' entrance into the university is marked by many difficulties. The knowledge of the teachers 'conceptions can lead us to reflect on how these students can have better academic experiences since, the teachers are the main responsible for the students' learning process. This study aims to identify teachers 'conceptions about adaptation to the university and satisfaction with the mathematics students' course. Participated 23 teachers, 11 from public universities and 12 from private universities in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Individual interviews were conducted with 12 open-ended questions. Iramuteq software was used for data analysis. 303 text segments were analyzed, obtaining five Classes (Student Difficulties, Time Management, Reasons for Choosing the Course, Employment Opportunities and Academic Environment). It is concluded that teachers attribute students' learning difficulties to content deficits, lack of time management and who work during the day.

Keywords : Conceptions; Teachers; University students; Mathematics; Iramuteq.
