This article presents an analysis of the main causes of students' dropping out of an undergraduate distance course in a Brazilian federal institution of higher education. The data were collected from the application of two questionnaires: one directed to dropout students and another to the remaining students. Responses were subsequently treated by means of basic statistics for the analysis and the final results. It was observed that the low incentive of teachers and tutors to the students, the difficulty of adaptation to the modality of distance education, and the short time of study dedicated to the course were the most important elements for failure and dropout.Resumo. Este artigo apresenta uma análise das principais causas da evasão de alunos de um curso de graduação a distância em uma Instituição Federal de Ensino Superior brasileira. Os dados foram coletados a partir da aplicação de dois questionários: um direcionado aos alunos evadidos e outro aos alunos remanescentes. As respostas foram posteriormente tratadas por meio de estatísticas básicas, para a análise e obtenção dos resultados. Observou-se que o baixo incentivo dos docentes e tutores para os alunos, as dificuldades de aprendizagem nessa modalidade de ensino e o pouco tempo de estudo dedicado ao curso, foram elementos preponderantes para o insucesso e a evasão.
