The Distance Education course, is an educative practice, which is consolidated in the world. The UNEMAT, part of the program PNAP, offers the Public Administration, a bachelor course, through Distance Board Education. The formation process in the Distance Education course is influenced by a whole series of factors that must be considered. This qualitative and quantitative research aimed to find out which factors are more influence to do the learners remain on course. As a result, we obtained a responsible and mature student profile belonging to low class and middle class, who relates well with the family, classmates and present tutors; that found several difficulties related to the geographical contexts, logistical and technological, but they overcame them, thought support of the family and motivation for a better life (professional and financial life) after conclusion of the course. As suggestion of improvement, we propose the adoption of teaching methods that solve the specificities, greater interaction with the teachers, the use of various communication mechanisms, UNEMAT’s political action for collect improvements in access to the poles and the implementation of the Institutional Evaluation at the end of each semester.
