Given the low representation of certain social groups in post-graduate courses in Brazil, the present article followed the qualitative design based on the descriptive approach to explore the implementation of affirmative actions substantiated by the experience of the “Commission for insertion of quotas in the notice of selection” from the Graduate Program in Teaching, at Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF). Therefore, in order to reinforce the debates about the importance of graduate programs, criteria to evaluate the access to, and permanence of, representatives from social groups, traditionally excluded from the Brazilian educational system, were materialized. Furthermore, the article presents a set of recommendations that can help such a discussion to grow in the program itself, and beyond it.
