Abstract :
For the implementation, and subsequent consolidation of a bachelor´s degree is required, inter alia to ensure a minimum enrollment, and academic performance of students will achieve any particular levels of success. In the majority of ICT degrees, enrollment demand is low, which forces us to search for students in all groups of potential access (high school, CFGS, elderly, etc). However, to fulfill the conditions imposed on the degrees, alluding to the success rate and social justification, it is necessary to ensure a low level of failure at school. In some academic circles is considered to college students which came from CFGS (upper level training cycles) as second level students and then design all possible strategies to limit access. In this paper we propose: 1. Compare and analyze performance in ICT degrees, both from students and from the CFGS as from High School 2. Determine the differences and similarities of these two groups (CFGS and High School). 3. Disaggregate academic performance of the two groups of subjects, one hand in the basic matters and the other in the instrumental one. 4. Propose actions to help recruit students of this group.
