In relation to this problem, an investigation of a descriptive-exploratory nature of mixed nature has been carried out with a representative sample of teachers, with the objective of assessing the profile of university students, the difficulties of adaptation and the competences require to integrate and succeed in studies. The results reflected that the students arrived without the necessary skills to integrate academically in the degree studies and without adequate knowledge about the characteristics of the formative model that is followed in higher education. These results should serve so that, from the previous stages, students work with training and guidance activities for exploration, clarification of expectations, socialization, planning and decision-making, in order to efficiently address the transition and adaptation to higher education.
