The role of the educational system in a society is undeniable, it defines the economic and social progress of the same, and the purpose must be the formation of human talent with scientific and humanistic vision capable of facing the modern world. However, although the role of Higher Education Institutions has been reconfigured at present, student well-being throughout history has been subordinated to mere student support or provision of minimum health services, currently, it is expected to be an integral area, that not only sees social problems or facilitates access to credit, but also that promotes respect for rights, provides assistance services that student desertion is avoided. Not being a subject of extensive study, the present investigative, historical documentary work was developed with the purpose of analyzing the reforms in higher education that Ecuador has made, and its impact on student well-being. As a result, it was found that the main reforms that introduced significant changes in the conception of student well-being in the field of Higher Education occurred in 1967, 1998 and 2008, evolving from a well-being approach to a comprehensive and inclusive approach.
