Access to higher education in Brazil, despite advances in recent years through various public education policies, still presents fissures and challenges to be overcome. In this sense, one of the significant educational policies, an Open University of Brazil (UAB), was officially instituted in the country by the Ministry of Education in 2006, with the purpose of expanding and internationalizing higher education through the provision of courses and distance education managed by public higher education institutions, in articulation with states and municipalities. Thus, this research aims to analyze the impacts that the Open University of Brazil provided the life of three students who graduated from the Degree in Mathematics, through reports of their life.It is important to highlight the social responsibility of UAB, since it allowing people, without opportunities, to reach across, and can be included with academic recognition in a qualified way in their profession.
