This investigation purported to assess the significance of college evaluations as set forth by law #10.861/2004 that established the National System for the Evaluation of Upper Education (SINAES, for Sistema Nacional de Avaliação da Educação Superior). In addition to promoting the evaluation of the institutions of upper education as well as that of the courses and students in an effort to improve the quality of education, SINAES also seeks to procure the needed data for regulating processes and state supervision. This study was grounded on the theories of educational evaluation developed over the last 90 years. The source of information was collected from legal texts published in the official state journal Diário Oficial da União between 2004 and 2008 which are available on-line on the page of the Secretary of Education. The method of analysis that was adopted herein combined documental analysis procedures and content which identified the existence of rhetoric defining the conceptual betterment of education. Throughout the text however, there seemed to be a strong bias favoring the use of the evaluation as a regulatory instrument rather than for the improvement of educational standards. This investigation concludes that the evaluation is imposed upon the institutions as a form of oversight and a means of regulating education. Also, whether the self evaluation will serve to improve the academic standards or will be adopted merely to abide by the law depends solely upon the particular interests of each institution
