Sumario:Objective: To be aware of the academic students’ opinion on the organ donation. Method: Exploratory-descriptive study performed in a private university with 269 students with ages from 18 years old or older. Result: It was verified that the majority of students (70%) were 18 to 23 years old. Students were predominantly female (68%. It was observed that the majority of the researched sampling (78%) revealed to be favorable to the organ donation, and 25% had doubts on the matter. As to the suggestions, 66% of the interviewed students indicated campaigns to achieve a better clarification on the subject and to make the whole population aware on the importance of the organ donation. Conclusion: It can be concluded that there was a significant non-familiarity by the investigated students on the organ donation process.
