Abstract
Objective: Analyze and describe through literature about the consequences of coronavirus in higher education in times of pandemic. Methods: This is an exploratory research of the integrative review type. The databases used were: Google Scholar, Ministry of Health (MOH), and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO). As inclusion criteria it was established articles published in Portuguese and English, between 2019 and 2021 and exclusion criteria were: Articles whose subjects, titles and objectives did not fit the proposed, repetitive articles, in other languages. Results: The year 2020 was atypical for everyone. The covid-19 pandemic brought about a series of consequences affecting several areas of life, one of them being education. University students in general experienced the strong impact of the pandemic, and had to resort to other learning alternatives, amidst announcements and postponements of a reopening of face-to-face classes. Final Considerations: The consequences of the pandemic have affected social, economic, and educational activities and brought with them existing difficulties. Still, many students who are deprived of financial and technological resources do not have access to the classes made available on the platforms.
