Objective: to describe the offer of a set of online courses in Saúde Digital composed of a self-instructional stage and another tutored, and to study the dropout profile of two enrolled students. Method: retrospective data analysis, with descriptive statistics. Results: We observed high rates of evasion in the self-instructional courses, particularly in the periods between registration and enrollment in the online environment and between enrollment and the start of activities. The approval rates were crescent among the students who remain active. The dropout at tutored courses also took place in the initial phases and it was observed a similar pattern of increasing approval taxes. Conclusion: High levels of avoidance are a common mistake in online courses and reconfirming the expectations of each participant can contribute to a more realistic interpretation of the events in this activity profile.
