The text aims at promoting a discussion about the concept of academic interaction and its importance in the paths of human formation at the level of higher education. The proposed reflection seeks theoretical support in the Levinasian theory of alterity and dialogues with the contributions of Buber and Melucci on the relationship and the process of self-identification of the Self. The scenario and empirical data of the research that originates the text consider the conceptions of academic interaction expressed both in a direct and indirect way in two versions of the Plan of Institutional Development of a Community Institution of Higher Education. Documentary analysis and analysis of content were the procedures evoked for the construction of the data. In the weaving of the argument we contemplate that the learning is also made from the relation that the individuals establish with each other and their surroundings, characterizing a process of socialization that collaborates in the human formation, in a dimension of opening and welcoming the Other. Among the findings of the study, we conclude that socialization occurs in four dimensions: opposition, where there is no acceptance of the Other; coexistence, where the Other cohabits in the same environment, but there is no relation; inclusion, level at which the Other has his (her) needs met to remain in the same environment, but there is no relation, and; interaction, at this level the Other is accepted and welcomed in its difference, there is relation.
