This paper is about the implementation of the Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS) as a mandatory curricular subject at the Federal University of Sergipe (UFS) over the period of 2005-2014. This process has started at the university in 2008, at the Department of Education, through the insertion of the subject in the curriculum of the Pedagogy Course and until the final moment of this research this implementation had not been concluded at the institution, due to some courses that have not yet made the subject inclusion. It is a Case Study on Organizational History, whose sources used were written documents and interviews. This study allowed to observe the fulfillment of one of the propositions in the Law and Decree of LIBRAS at Higher Education Institutions, which helps creating an inclusive educational context of communicative interactions between deaf and hearing people. The research was conducted at the campus of São Cristóvão, Federal University of Sergipe. The data were collected by consulting the documents written in sectors files and the online system of the institution, and through narrative interviews with semi-structured questions, held with eight managers and three teachers who were linked, somehow, with the process of implementation of the subject. It was concluded that there were some problems in understanding and acceptance of LIBRAS as a mandatory subject, as well as bureaucratic problems during the implementation process, which led to the inadequacy under the Decree determinations in some moments of the process, an inadequacy that still exists. It is expected that this research will contribute to the historical record of LIBRAS as a subject in Higher Education.
