The objective of the present study is to analyze the inclusion policies offered by the UFAC and UFPB accessibility centers for visually impaired students. For that, we carried out a qualitative and documental research involving the institutional documents, from the researched universities, related to the inclusion of students with disabilities. The results of the investigation show a significant increase in the enrollment of students with visual impairments in higher education courses at the investigated institutions, especially in the Pedagogy Course. In addition, monitoring of the work carried out by the inclusion and accessibility centers is highlighted, which play an important role in the permanence and participation of their students. With the completion of this Course Completion Work, we hope to highlight positive actions in order to ensure the inclusion and accessibility of students with visual impairment in pedagogy courses. In this way, we hope to contribute to strengthening discussions in the area of Special Education, understanding that more than an academic work, this is a social responsibility action of great conversion for us future education professionals who, in basic education or higher education, will receive students with disabilities.
