Studies claim that unsatisfactory levels presented by students in higher education due to lack of adaptation and integration to their own experiences of university period. The student adaptation areas are diverse and can be classified into five dimensions - personal, interpersonal, career, study and institutional, which integrate a set of variables items that are essential to the permanence and performance of the young undergraduates. This study aimed to identify the adaptation level of graduates of four courses of engineering of a Federal University Campus, located in the interior of the State of Paraná, as well as to evaluate significant differences in adaptation between the different profiles of students, from the analysis of the following factors: choice of course; socioeconomic; age; sex; student performance; entry of note in the institution (note reached at SiSU); qutaholders; year of enrolling in the course.
