The Federal University of Sergipe ({{langx|pt|Universidade Federal de Sergipe}}, UFS) is a Brazilian public institution based in Sergipe, with campuses in São Cristóvão, Aracaju, Itabaiana, Laranjeiras, and Lagarto. Founded in 1967 by the junction of the state's existing colleges, it became its second university (the first being the University of Tiradentes, a private institution founded in 1962){{Cite web |url=http://ead.unit.br/unit/historico.php |title=Unit EAD - A Unit - Histórico - Educação a Distância - Sergipe, Brasil |access-date=2012-09-04 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130115060102/http://ead.unit.br/unit/historico.php |archive-date=2013-01-15 |url-status=dead }} and its first public one.

History
Following national education reforms, the university became a new, unified campus in São Cristóvão throughout the 1980s. In 1987, the fully transferred UFS inaugurated its new campus, which became the institution's headquarters. During the 1990s, after the creation of 45 new undergraduate courses, there was an emphasis on technology and academic specialization: the Pólo de Novas Tecnologias (Department for New Technologies) and the Programa de Qualificação Docente (Academic Qualification Program; PQD) were formed. During this time, the university started its first master degree programs through the Department of Post-Graduation and Research. Independent scientific thinking was promoted by the Programa de Iniciação Científica (Scientific Initiation Program), a partnership between the UFS and the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development.http://oficiais.ufs.br/sites/default/files/21/anuario_estatistico_2008_2010.pdf{{Dead link|date=August 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Official statistics book covering 2008 to 2010, Page 13

Admissions
Like most Brazilian universities, admissions to UFS undergraduate courses are made by completing the Vestibular exam. Until 2011, the university independently commissioned the exam from Fundação Carlos Chagas and performed it over four consecutive days: three for each level in Brazilian secondary schools and one for writing.{{cite web |url=http://www.sonoticias.com.br/noticias/3/137057/vestibular-faz-mal-a-educacao-critica-ministro |title=Vestibular faz mal à Educação, critica ministro |website=www.sonoticias.com.br |date= 10 October 2011|access-date=2012-09-05}}{{cite web |url=http://g1.globo.com/vestibular-e-educacao/noticia/2011/05/educador-critica-tradicao-dos-exames-escolares-no-brasil.html |title=Educador critica tradição dos exames escolares no Brasil |website=g1.globo.com |date= 21 May 2011|access-date=2012-09-05}}http://www.fcc.org.br/pesquisa/publicacoes/es/artigos/129.pdf Analysis from Fundação Carlos Chagas about the vestibular system
Like most exams in other public universities (except ITA and IME), the questions do not present a particular level of difficulty; vacancies are the decisive factor for selection, given the process' competitive nature. In 2010, 28,340 students competed for 4,950 vacancies.http://oficiais.ufs.br/sites/default/files/21/anuario_estatistico_2008_2010.pdf{{Dead link|date=August 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Pages 18 to 43 Unlike admission systems seen in United States, in which the student chooses their line of study usually one year after their matriculation, enrollment to a course happens before the exam, and the student only competes for vacancies in the chosen course. Since 2012, UFS has adopted the Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (ENEM) as its only form of admission.{{cite web |title=Em 2013, ingresso na UFS somente será feito por desempenho no Enem |url=http://www.ufs.br/conteudo/2013-ingresso-ufs-somente-ser-feito-por-desempenho-enem-3605.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304042703/http://www.ufs.br/conteudo/2013-ingresso-ufs-somente-ser-feito-por-desempenho-enem-3605.html |archive-date=2016-03-04 |access-date=2012-09-05 |website=www.ufs.br}}
In 2007, the university adhered to the controversial racial quota system, designating half of its vacancies to public school black students. The decision was added to the ongoing national controversy questioning the system's constitutionality.{{cite web |url=http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/folha/educacao/ult305u403026.shtml |title=Folha Online - Educação - Aluna critica as cotas e entra pelo sistema universal - 18/05/2008 |website=www1.folha.uol.com.br |access-date=2012-09-05}}http://www.ipcdigital.com/br/Noticias/Brasil/Movimento-pede-fim-das-cotas-raciais-no-Brasil {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090903120250/http://www.ipcdigital.com/br/Noticias/Brasil/Movimento-pede-fim-das-cotas-raciais-no-Brasil |date=2009-09-03 }} Retrieved 2012-09-05 In 2012, Brazil's Supreme Court declared the quota system to be legal,http://stream.aljazeera.com/story/brazils-racial-quotas-0022211 {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120623152404/http://stream.aljazeera.com/story/brazils-racial-quotas-0022211 |date=2012-06-23 }} Retrieved 2012-09-05 and it was passed into law after President Dilma Rousseff's sanction.{{cite web |url=http://g1.globo.com/bom-dia-brasil/noticia/2012/08/sistema-de-cotas-para-universidades-federais-e-sancionado-por-dilma.html |title=Sistema de cotas para universidades federais é sancionado por Dilma |website=g1.globo.com |date= 30 August 2012|access-date=2012-09-05}}
=Primary and secondary education=
Aside from its higher education curricula, the UFS also ministers primary and secondary education through the Colégio de Applicação (Application School; CODAP), comprising 550 students: 210 primary ("Fundamental Education", levels 6 to 9, according to Brazilian denomination) and 240 secondary ("Mid-Level Education", levels 1 to 3). The school was founded in 1959 as part of the Sergipe College of Philosophy (former Catholic College of Philosophy) and was incorporated into the university in 1968. It was transferred to São Cristóvão Campus in 1981 but remained without a proper building until 1994.http://codap.ufs.br/ CODAP official website, retrieved 2012-09-07{{Primary source inline|date=March 2022}}
The CODAP is the university's take on non-higher public education, a historically deficient system in Brazil. Aside from the usual curriculum, the school invests in extension programs (gathering 160 students in 2012) and the Projects for Scientific Initiation. Its academic staff comprises 30 permanent and 7 temporary teachers, plus 18 employees in the administrative staff. The school ranks as the State's and one of the country's best public schools: in 2012, it had the country's seventh and the State's best primary public education according to the Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica (Primary Education Development Index).{{cite web |url=http://www.ufs.br/conteudo/codap-9-melhor-escola-p-blica-brasil-segundo-ideb-7422.html |title= Codap é a 9ª melhor escola pública do Brasil, segundo Ideb |website=www.ufs.br |access-date=2012-09-07 |archive-date=2016-03-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303221420/http://www.ufs.br/conteudo/codap-9-melhor-escola-p-blica-brasil-segundo-ideb-7422.html |url-status=dead }}{{cite web |url=http://educacao.uol.com.br/noticias/2012/08/14/consulte-a-nota-do-ideb-do-seu-estado-e-saiba-se-ele-atingiu-a-meta-proposta-pelo-mec.htm |title=Consulte a nota do Ideb do seu Estado e saiba se ele atingiu a meta proposta pelo MEC |website=educacao.uol.com.br |access-date=2012-09-07}} In 2010{{cite web |url=http://www.enemvirtual.com.br/melhores-escolas-de-sergipe-ranking-enem-2010/ |title=Melhores Escolas de Sergipe – Ranking Enem 2010 |website=www.enemvirtual.com.br |access-date=2012-09-07}} and 2011,{{cite web |url=http://educacao.uol.com.br/noticias/2011/09/12/enem-por-escola-confira-as-20-primeiras-colocadas-do-sergipe.htm |title=Enem por escola: Confira as 20 primeiras colocadas do Sergipe |website=educacao.uol.com.br |date=12 September 2011 |access-date=2012-09-07}} the ENEM ranked its secondary education as the state's sixth-best, being the only public school among the top ten.
