The application aims to centralize some documents related to student assistance policies (PAE) developed at the institution to facilitate access to this information. This is a quantitative-qualitative study. For data collection, a questionnaire developed for this study was used as an instrument. Data analysis was developed through descriptive statistics, organized into positive and negative aspects.
