The aim of this article is to analyze the access of students with disability toward Chilean universities which belong to the regular process of admission, identifying the existent barriers to people with a disability situation both in the access system and support programs. It is an inquiring documentary article which presents an analysis of content about access datum (in respect of admission) and politics visualization to support the continuity of people in the formative process (actions or programs) from either ideally or prescriptively. Results which were extrapolated with eight semi-structured interviews to undergraduates who are taking their courses in universities. The results verified that the main barrier for them is the absence of shared criteria among universities and the procedure to apply are different in each institution. It is strongly recommended that the Chilean state takes into account a unique and centralized Special Entry System to people with disability, with admission fees per university associated to objective institutional indicators (Infrastructure, materials, etc.), so as to not fall into arbitrary discrimination.

Palabras llave : access and continuity of undergraduates; undergraduates with disability; barriers against inclusion of people with disability.
