This work aims at raising reflections about Brazilian sign language (LIBRAS) teaching in undergraduate courses, since the school subject LIBRAS is inserted in this academic context due to Decreto 5.626 of 22nd. December 2005. This is a text that exposes what happens in the day to day life of classroom through the notes of the ones who teach the mentioned subject. It aims to approach facts and characteristics of this insertion taking into account that sign language is a language of visual-spatial modality which is not known by many people from acedemic medium. Despite the difficulties pointed in the text, it is noticeable that teachers tend to create possibilities to overcome these difficulties, teaching this school subject in such a way that makes it possible to incorporate sign language teaching in the universities with quality.
