    Higher Education (HE) in Brazil - created to serve a socioeconomic elite - has historically kept excluded a huge portion of the low-income population from its conviviality. In recent years, this reality has changed with the arrival of a "new public" that, benefited by the expansion and democratization movements, enters the HE with peculiar life trajectories, after years apart from formal education. It is in this context that the studies of this thesis are inserted, which aimed: (i) to deepen the concept of "new publics" in HE; (ii) to characterize the non-traditional students who access HE; (iii) to identify the academic expectations and the anticipated difficulties of adaptation when accessing HE; (iv) to appreciate the impact of the variables gender, monthly income and satisfactory digital condition for adaptation to remote teaching; and (vi) to investigate the psychosocial factors that had the most impact on the satisfaction with the academic experience of students during the offer of Emergency Remote Education. The results pointed out that the historical social and economic inequality of these students was aggravated even more with the advent of the pandemic, imposing new challenges to the academic transition process and uncovering a new reality of exclusion: digital inequality. The results identified students dissatisfied with their own economic resources, since they did not have the digital infrastructure conditions necessary to follow the remote activities. This significantly impacted their emotional state, leading them to develop alarming levels of anxiety, stress, and psychological discomfort. However, despite all the difficulties, the students were motivated to continue their studies and convinced that only the investment in their academic formation could guarantee them the desired social and economic ascension. It is hoped that this thesis can help higher education institutions to better understand the psychosocial profile of non-traditional students, to identify their expectations and difficulties experienced in the process of academic transition and adaptation, and to make inferences about the effectiveness of the educational contexts and the institutional actions involved in this process. Thus, anticipating actions to mitigate learning inequalities in order to promote and provide equitable learning conditions to the diverse and heterogeneous universe of its student population.
