The research developed is carried out through a global characterization, in which national and local scenarios provide an approach to the concept of tutoring explored from the analysis of the progression hypotheses, which identify the current state of the Fundación Universitaria del Área Andina, in relation to the processes of academic and comprehensive support for students. The research is developed from the qualitative paradigm, taking as a reference the multiple case study, through the formulation of a progression hypothesis, which determines one of the forms of presentation of results. The content analysis of the different units of information, obtained through the categories proposed in the systema­tization of the tutorial experiences of certain universities, allowed to identify the tendency to which the tutorial process points at a global level, as well as to determine the current state of the institution of higher education in this regard.
