The Federal University of Acre (Ufac) has released the preliminary results of its specific selection process for indigenous students wishing to enroll in undergraduate courses for the first semester of 2026. Announced on Saturday, October 7, the document outlines which candidates have been classified or disqualified based on their performance in the objective test. The Pró-Reitoria de Graduação (Prograd) is responsible for this publication and is set to release the results of any appeals against the preliminary outcomes on Monday, October 9.

The selection process experienced some challenges, with disqualifications reported, particularly for candidates who either did not meet the minimum score required in the exam or failed to attend the test on the day it was held. Specifically, it was noted that 160 candidates were absent from the exam, impacting their chances of being classified in the process. The university's procedures allow candidates to contest these preliminary results, aiming to ensure fairness and transparency in the selection process.

As the university progresses towards the final selection results, the implications for indigenous students seeking higher education in Brazil are significant. This selection process is part of broader efforts to promote inclusion and accessibility in academic environments, particularly for marginalized communities. The anticipated publication of appeals and final results will be closely watched by both the candidates and the university community as they reflect on their commitment to supporting indigenous students.
