However, there are public institutions, not members of the SUS, that provide health services and should hav a specific health policy.Objective: To report the structuring of a health policy for the student assistance of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN) through the construction of a matrix of indicators.Method: Evaluation study whosepolicy creation process was: document analysis to define IFRN health sector ́s mission and responsibilities; consultation on national surveys (OH Brazil, School Health; CENSUS), to IFRN student ́s socioeconomic report and analysis of IFRN ́s resources (Google forms® questionnaire) for the situational diagnosis; definition of guidelines/objectives/target problems; construction of an indicator's matrix; validation of the matrix by IFRN ́s coordinators/health professionals by technical consensus conference; creation of monitoring instruments (annual health programming, implementation report).Results: The guidelines were legitimized, 01 objective was excluded and 01 was modified. As for the indicators, there was a reduction of 42 to 37 taken as relevant/valid/timely.Conclusion: Implementing the policy requires necessary strategies to institutionalize health education process, scientific research, assessment/planning/monitoring process, standardization of service ́s operation and the development of intersectoral actionspolítica de saúdegestão em saúdeavaliação de serviços de saúdeinstituições de ensinoatenção à saúdehealth policyhealth managementhealth carehealth services evaluationschoolsarticlehttps://doi.org/10.21680/2446-7286.2018v4n2ID16838
