This participants answered the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS) and Academic Adaptation Reduced Questionnaire (QVA-r), and also an item that valued the level of academic satisfaction. A correlation was made between the factors of the CAAS and QVA-r factors, in which there was found a positive correlation between the two instruments, from which can stand out the positive correlation and moderate Concern (CAAS) and Career (QVA-r).About the racial correlation, it was observed that the variable satisfaction with the course had and influence on some of the correlations, mainly on the Concern (CAAS) and Career (QVA-r) correlation. The results suggest that it could the assumed that the adaptation process is a variable of career, indeed it would be necessary new researches with bigger and more diverged samples.
