Please make sure you inform us of your arrival date and time and whether you need to be picked up at the airport. This can be arranged a couple of weeks before your departure. We will book your preferred accommodation and arrange to pick you up at the airport, if needed.

After you arrive in Shiraz, the first thing you need to do is to visit us at the Center to:
1. meet us in person so we can introduce you to all our friendly lecturers and administrators;
2. fill out a registration form which we use for our Learner Corpus;
3. take a placement test and complete your course registration;
4. be instructed on the schedule of your classes;
5. be provided with accommodation and receive information on our services.

Important Note

At all Iranian universities and Persian language programs, applicants are required to have a valid student visa in order to register in the language program. Thus, please make sure not to apply for any other visa type (e.g. a tourist visa) for the purpose of learning Persian at Shiraz University. We cannot and will not assume any responsibility for admitting applicants who do not have a valid student visa, or fail to submit an application for the right visa type.
