After the suspension of in-person classes and activities, due to the coronavirus pandemic established on March 11, 2020, it was necessary to adapt, for the virtual and remote mode, various thematic guidelines, previously provided to the freshman students. Thus, after the end of the first semester of 2020 in the Remote Emergency Learning (ERE) mode, the need to create a course, under experimental and optional offer, was clear. The goal was to address the guiding themes in order to welcome, accommodate and integrate the freshmen to the UFMG -Pharmacy Course. Virtual and synchronous activities were developed, such as reception of the freshmen, conversation circles, guided meditation, lectures, acquaintance with the undergrad rules, didactic-pedagogical monitoring of students, in addition to evaluative activities by means of questionnaire, creations and seminars. The student testimonies showed a high effectiveness of the proposed course through its guiding themes, learning and personalized activities. Thus, the freshmen reported a smoother transition from high school to higher education.
