To show that despite the changes required of higher education institutions, whether public or private, this Resolution can be observed as a powerful instument of human promotion policy in favor of brazilian society. In this sense, depending on the way in which education entities elaborate and develop their extension projects, the generated indicators will be able to feed the agendas for the formation of public policies and to charge the Government with responsibility for the needs of society. Although the topic university extension is not exactly new, the guidelines imposed by the legal provision is a relevant and urgent matter, once the deadline for institutions to comply with the new rules expires on december 14, 2021. This scenario that is designed in the contexto of higher education requires studies tha reflect social realities in na increasingly globalized world. The method used is deductive and with regard to ata collection, the research used the bibliographic survey, jurisprudential analyss and collection of statistical data produced by federal government agencies and entities.
