    Dropping out in higher education is a serious problem that has been

    investigated for decades and causes great harm to individuals, edu-
    cational institutions, and society as a whole. This article presents

    a case study on the application of the survival analysis combined
    with the construction of predictive models in the identification
    motivating and deterrent elements of dropout in an undergraduate
    program in Information Systems at a public institution of higher

    education in Brazil. Methods of educational data mining and pro-
    babilistic modeling were applied to student data to model students’

    expected completion of the course, semester by semester. The re-
    sults of the survival analysis are consistent with the literature and

    indicate the greatest risk of dropout is in the initial semesters of
    the course, while the identification of characteristics of dropout
    makes it clear that the subjects of the first two semesters are the
    biggest barriers of the course retaining about 50% of the student
    population.
