• Resumo em Inglês: The notorious expansion of higher education in Brazil in recent decades has brought a series of contradictions and dilemmas. The youths who enter in this educational system need proper education which would enable them to continue and succeed. Among these youths, there are those with visual impairments. In Brazil their participation in courses of higher education has increased more than 370% between the years 2003 and 2005. Given this scenario, we chose a qualitative approach to the current research that aims to examine and analyze the inclusion of blind students in private Graduate Schools in Federal District. The paper represents the perspective of these students. To achieve this it was necessary to check and analyze the resources provided by these institutions to keep and successfully graduate students with visual impairments. And also reports from these students, interviews with representatives of institutions and on-site observation. It makes a comparison between the needs presented by these students and the specific treatment offered by the respective institutions of higher education. The process of data collection was based on interviews made by the researcher with students with visual disabilities and representatives of institutions of higher education, in addition to reports done during the visit to the institutions. This research revealed that the complete fulfillment of the student???s rights with visual impairments by institutions of higher education will not be met until there is a civic education of students and the legal prerogative for the actions of the institutions. Students interviewed showed no heed to their rights and duties when enrolling in an undergraduate course, instead they have only ensured their presence in the chosen course and enjoyed what was offered. On the other hand the institutions, despite receiving students with special educational needs for at least five years, do not reveal the institutionalization of actions to ensure adequate care to these students. It is necessary to deconstruct the image of the ideal or stigmatized disability in the school community and then allow the generation of equal opportunity for these students besides ensuring the rights and duties common to all people.
