Background & objectives: academic adjustment plays an important role in the academic achievement and general intercultural experiences of students.

Of this sample population, 120 people were selected and responded to questionnaires of academic adjustment, sense of cohesion and hope Beliefs. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression. Findings: The results of correlation coefficient showed that the academic adjustment was related positively to agency thinking, pathway thinking and total score of sense of coherence and the components of Comprehensibility and Manageability. The results of regression analysis also showed that variables of sense of coherence and hope beliefs predict about 17 Percent of the variance of academic adjustment in their students.
