This article aims to analyze the experience of the Theorem Social Pre-Vestibular course, an extension project established at the North Fluminense Darcy Ribeiro State University (UENF). Theorem was created in 2004 to assist students who wanted to attend a pre-university course, but did not have the necessary financial resources. The sampling design used document analysis and semi-structured interviews conducted with the coordinators and teachers of the course. The theoretical contributions by Zago (2009), Nascimento (2009), and Manchur, Suriani and Cunha (2013) were used to create or analyze the analytical body of the study. The results obtained confirm the importance of developing extension practices in public higher education institutions. In addition, the analysis of results confirms that participation in Theorem has contributed to the improvement of the teaching skills of the graduate students involved in the program, and expanded access to higher education for students from lower classes.
