This research aims to analyze the policy cycle of ENADE as an instrument of higher education assessment and guidance for managers of undergraduate programs and higher education institutions evaluated. The research initially employed methods of literature review and analysis of documents. Secondary data were achieved through the use of scientific articles, websites, books, journals and theses and dissertations on the subject. A content analysis was carried out, the categories were predetermined and the following elements of each phase of the Policy Cycle proposed by Caldas (2008) and Jannuzzi (2011) were selected: definition of the agenda; policy formulation; decision-making process; implementation and assessment. Primary and secondary data were used in data collection. Primary data were obtained from a questionnaire and interviews applied to four different groups: policymakers; members of the National Committee of Higher Education Assessment; coordinators of undergraduate programs of the Universidade Federal de Viçosa that have already been assessed by the ENADE and the Deans of Undergraduate Programs of four (4) Federal Institutions of Higher Education of Minas Gerais: Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Universidade Federal de Viçosa and Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri. At this point, the study case method was used. As a result, it was observed that, although the original proposal did not mention it, the reasons that led to the creation of ENADE were the need to reformulate the processes, tools and policies for Higher Education evaluation and regulation; the demand for quality control in higher education by society in general and the problems encountered in the ENC/Provão, the evaluation system used before ENADE implementation. ENADE was created to be part of a higher education evaluation system, as one of the assessment tools. However, it has been central in the evaluation process, similarly to the Provão. Operational problems, as well as the form of its framing, affected the implementation of ENADE. It was concluded that the results of ENADE provide various types of data that can be sorted per institutions of higher education, administrative category, academic organization, geographic region, mode of teaching, etc. These data allow university administrators to define actions aimed at improving the quality of the programs. It was further concluded that ENADE central role in the evaluation processes should be questioned. It is necessary to analyze the whole assessment system, considering not only student performance, but other assessment tools.
